Allison Transmission presents electric axle for commercial vehicles

The new model is called the eGen Power 85S and complements the series of all-electric axles that Allison Transmission has introduced since 2020. The drive has an electric motor and a two-speed gearbox and offers a continuous and peak output of 225 and 325 kW respectively. According to the manufacturer, this power should ensure high acceleration and speed without compromising the efficiency and range of the vehicle.

The eGen Power axles replace a vehicle’s conventional powertrain and are compatible with battery-only electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles and hybrid applications. According to Allison Transmission, the axle is a drop-in solution that can be easily integrated into existing vehicle chassis and ‘enables significant space savings for the battery’.

The eGen Power 85S from Allison has already been integrated into the all-electric Novo Volt midi-bus platform from Anadolu Isuzu and is also being installed in light refuse and distribution vehicles. According to Allison Transmission, the eGen Power 100S electric axle, which has been available for some time, is also being used successfully in the Volterra ZSL refuse collection vehicle from US manufacturer McNeilus.
