Hybrid Drivetrain Provider Broadens Product Range
Efficient Drivetrains, Inc. (EDI), a leader in high-efficiency zero emissions hybrid and electric drivetrain solutions, has announced the expansion of its product range to include its EDI PowerDrive electrification kit and developer support program for vehicle manufacturers moving to create a PHEV offering.
Here’s the scoop: As demand for commercial alternative fuel vehicles increases, the pressure to comply with stringent anti-idle and emissions reductions mandates continues to grow for vehicle manufacturers. The first-of-its-kind OEM vehicle developers kit and support program from EDI enables vehicle manufacturers to create PHEV and EV vehicle solutions that meet industry regulations today.
The EDI PowerDriveTM kit offers OEMs a framework for rapid PHEV vehicle solution development. Electrification kits include a high-efficiency drivetrain (EDI PowerDriveTM), vehicle control and telematics software (EDI PowerSuiteTM), and the training and support infrastructure to enable OEMs to drive quicker time to market in offering PHEV and EV vehicles. According to the company, “OEMs can also further customize their vehicle solutions with EDI’s Electric Power Export (Power2ETM) option—the capability to export a range of power directly from the vehicle for use in disaster recovery, jobsite maintenance, tool operation, and other applications.”
“The extensibility of EDI’s system is the ideal vehicle electrification platform for the market, and will enable OEM and utility partners meet idle free, zero emissions requirements for city and highway driving, and at stationary job sites with zero impact to vehicle performance, noted Charlie Travis, Head of Business Development, Efficient Drivetrains, Inc.
