AVL LOOKS AT POWERTRAIN Solutions For Electrified Trucks & Buses

摘要

As OEMs develop electric vehicles for zero-emissions urban transport, specific powertrain components and systems are also needed In the past, electrified trucks and buses were mainly built by the integration of existing components and subsystems with the target of minimized modifications compared to the conventional vehicle. To reach the necessary energy content, several existing battery systems were integrated in parallel and mounted on the outer side of the vehicle frame. On the inner side of the vehicle frame, existing electric motors, inverters, transmissions and propeller shafts replaced the conventional powertrain.
