Despite all the attention being given to electric drivetrains, diesel engines still have a long future ahead of them. Engineering, design and innovation centers have never been busier.
Eaton’s Vehicle Group has partnered with Ballard Fuel Cell Systems and the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory to develop heavy-duty truck fuel cell technology.
Eaton will expand its mobile power take-off portfolio to include two new Bezares PTO units and has engineered its Advantage Automated series clutches for automated transmissions.
Eaton said its new four-speed electrified vehicle transmission operates at higher speeds than its traditional internal combustion gearbox counterparts, with gears optimized for typical electric motor performance and power curves for maximum efficiency.
Eaton has announced that it is contributing several components to truck manufacturers participating in the U.S. Department of Energy’s SuperTruck II freight-efficiency program.
Eaton has developed several components designed to improve efficiency of electric, hybrid and conventional vehicles and showcased the new technologies at the IAA Commercial Vehicles Show in Hannover, Germany.
To capitalize on the growing vehicle electrification market, Eaton has created a new business unit called eMobility.
Even as innovative technologies leap borders, the engineering focus of truck builders and suppliers remains fixed on meeting the needs of local markets.
You may think of Eaton as primarily a transmission company, but at the IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hannover, Germany, this fall, they showed a range of future technologies both near and far, from transmissions for electric vehicles to autonomous vehicle technology to waste heat recovery.
Both companies will work together to apply their knowledge of lithium-ion batteries and power electronics to bring reliable, affordable energy storage and control technologies to the market.
