Dana Inc. and Motiv Power Systems have announced a collaboration to integrate Dana’s Spicer Electrified eS9000r e-Axle on the Ford F-550 chassis for use in commercial fleet applications.

By replacing the traditional mechanical driveline with an electric motor integrated directly into the vehicle’s differential housing, the e-Axle provides greater design flexibility for battery placement and truck body attachment, Dana says. In addition to Dana’s e-Axle technology, the chassis features Motiv’s electric powertrain controls.

The Spicer Electrified eS9000r consists of an integrated motor, transmission, and axle system, and is designed as a “drop-in” replacement for existing axles used in medium-duty truck and bus applications. The vehicle is designed with a range of up to 90 miles and peak power of 226 kW for grade startability of 20%, Dana says. Dana’s e-Axle includes an integrated parking mechanism (park pawl) that eliminates the need for an external solution, according to the company.

The first wave of battery electric truck adoption in the U.S. is cresting, with nearly every OEM offering an electric truck option and forward-thinking fleets like Sysco investing heavily in increasingly sustainable trucking equipment. Electric trucks with a range of under 300 miles (approximately) are all across the industry, but the question remains: How does battery electric grow out of its niche?
