Challenge

Collaborating with this company on their first electric heavy-duty truck project presents both exciting prospects and challenges for both parties involved.

For them, embarking on their first electric heavy truck endeavor poses a learning curve. Given their parent company’s background in construction and energy storage, their newly established new energy department may lack the technical expertise needed for designing and developing comprehensive EV solutions. Additionally, the R&D costs could be substantial, potentially leading to longer project timelines and delayed vehicle launches.

For us, our foremost task is to establish clear lines of communication and grasp a thorough understanding of their requirements, preferences, and expectations for the heavy truck project. From there, we must devise tailored EV solutions to precisely meet their needs. Effective collaboration with their team is paramount to address any technical hurdles, tackle challenges head-on, and ensure seamless project execution.

Solutions We’ve Provided

We’ve equipped the truck with our 2-in-1 integrated e-powertrain system, seamlessly combining the EV motor and gearbox alongside an independent MCU. Below is electric motor parameters:

We have applied the 4 kW electric hydraulic power steering system (EHPS) on the truck. With the integrated design that combines a motor, steering pump, ECU, DC power processing, and oil tank into a single unit, this maximizes space utilization, simplifies system integration, and offers compact size and lightweight.

We have used the 4kW oil-free air brake compressor for the electric heavy truck. With the latest technology, our air compressor delivers air that’s entirely oil and water-free, eliminating concerns of oil emulsification, leaks, and fire hazards. Its innovative structural design minimizes energy waste during compression, optimizing efficiency.

We have used the 3-in-1 converter for the project, which consists of a DC/DC converter, a DC/AC oil pump, and a DC/AC air compressor. This integrated and lightweight design significantly reduces system weight and size. It not only offers a lightweight solution but also delivers substantial space, wiring, and cost savings for electric commercial vehicles.
