The assignment was simple: compare a CL7 Freightliner M2 retrofit—with a BAE Systems propulsion solution and an Eaton MD 4-speed EV transmission—to a similar sized truck with an ICE. Sure, you can pop the hood, examine the interior, and ask a few questions—which we did during a June 2024 event at Eaton’s Proving Grounds located in Marshall, MI—but the fun part came when we took both vehicles out on the test track to see how the EV truck handled on turns, inclines and at top speeds versus its ICE counterpart.
Eaton will be displaying a number of transmissions for both traditional and electrified commercial vehicles at IAA Transportation, September 17–22, in Hannover, Germany.
High reliability, extended cycle life and greater design flexibility – these are the benefits of the innovative prismatic battery cell solutions from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies. Both the cell caps and the nonwoven cell stack envelopes provide manufacturers with significant technical advantages and support the global shift to battery-powered electromobility.
