Lower energy consumption Higher torque performance Long-term durability Safety and environmental friendliness Enhanced driving comfort Email: contact@brogenevsolution.com Get Custom Quote Optimized ePowertrain for Heavy-Duty, Low-Speed Operations Background In today’s electric heavy-duty truck market, many OEMs adopt a direct-drive architecture – using a single PMSM to drive the shaft – mainly to reduce cost. While simple and cost-effective, this design struggles to deliver efficient motor performance across both low-speed high-torque and high-speed low-torque working conditions. This challenge becomes even more critical for electric dump trucks operating in urban construction and transport scenarios, where vehicles often run under heavy-load and low-speed conditions such as uphill driving or stop-and-go operation.  Our Solution: PMSM + 2-Speed AMT ePowertrain To overcome the limitations of traditional direct-drive systems in electric dump trucks, we provide a dedicated ePowertrain solution that pairs a high-performance PMSM with a 2-speed AMT. This configuration is specifically engineered to enhance energy efficiency and extend system durability under heavy-duty, low-speed operating conditions. This combination enables the motor to operate more efficiently in low-speed, high-torque scenarios – such as hill climbing or fully loaded starts, where energy losses are typically high. By optimizing motor load and shifting gears as needed, this system helps reduce overall power consumption and prolong motor life, even during continuous high-load operation. In addition, the inclusion of a 2-speed AMT provides greater flexibility for PTO integration, which is essential for construction and utility vehicles that require hydraulic lifting or other auxiliary power applications.

Electric Truck Axle Guide: How to Choose the Right E-Axle for Heavy-Duty Trucks?

Electric Truck Axle Guide: How to Choose the Right E-Axle for Heavy-Duty Trucks? As electric heavy-duty trucks continue to gain market share, a clear understanding of key drivetrain systems—especially the electric truck axle—is becoming increasingly important for OEMs and commercial EV developers. What types of electric truck axles are available today, and what technical factors should be considered when selecting the right solution? In this article, we explore the core dimensions of electric truck axle selection, including structural layout, motor configuration, transmission stages, and PTO integration. This guide is designed to support engineering and product teams in making informed decisions when developing or sourcing electric heavy truck platforms. Brogen Electric Truck Axle on the Heavy-Duty Truck 1. The Structure of Electric Truck Axle Traditionally, a drive axle consists of four main subassemblies. Axle Housing: As the core load-bearing structure, the housing plays a critical role in supporting the entire axle system. Depending on the manufacturing process, axle housings can be categorized into three main types: Stamped and Welded Steel Plates: Known for their cost-effectiveness and relatively low weight, this method is commonly used in light-duty applications. Hydroformed Structures: This process enables superior lightweight performance, making it ideal for applications with strict weight constraints. Precision Cast Housings: These offer high structural strength and load-bearing capacity, which is essential for heavy-duty operations and demanding terrains. Final Drive (Main Reducer): It converts torque from the driveshaft into torque at the drive wheels. One of the key performance indicators of the final drive is the diameter of its ring gear – the larger the diameter, the greater the vehicle’s load capacity and wheel-end output torque. Additionally, the gear ratio of the final drive is a critical factor affecting the vehicle’s power delivery and energy efficiency. Inside the final drive, there is also a differential, which allows the left and right wheels to rotate at different speeds when the vehicle is running.  Wheel End: This assembly connects directly to the tires and is responsible for high-speed rotation. In older designs, wheel ends required grease lubrication, which routine maintenance typically needed every 50,000 km. Today, most heavy-duty truck axles have adopted maintenance-free wheel ends, significantly reducing service requirements and improving uptime. Braking System: It typically comes in drum or disc configurations. Among drum brakes, there are two common types: S-cam brakes and wedge brakes. Thanks to their simpler structure, faster response, and better space efficiency (especially in tight chassis layouts), wedge-type drum brakes have become the preferred solution in modern heavy-duty trucks. The axle housing, wheel ends, and braking system of this electric drive axle are largely identical to those of a conventional diesel drive axle. From a structural standpoint, electric truck axles are fundamentally similar to traditional diesel axle systems. There are tow primary structural configurations commonly used in the industry: Configuration 1: Integrated Axle Housing Structure This design retains the conventional layout of the axle housing, wheel hubs, and braking system – essentially mirroring a traditional diesel drive axle. The only major difference is the addition of an electric motor and gearbox assembly, which is mounted at the front flange of the axle. The motor delivers torque, which is then stepped down and amplified by the gearbox before being transmitted to the axle to propel the vehicle forward or in reverse. Electric Truck Axle With Integrated Axle Housing The key advantage of this configuration lies in its simplicity. It leverages proven components from diesel truck platforms – including the axle housing, wheel ends, and braking system – which helps reduce development time and keeps costs relatively low. However, there are notable trade-offs. Due to space limitations, it’s difficult to integrate a multi-speed gearbox – typically restricted to two or three gears at most – and there’s usually no room for a PTO. Another major drawback is that the center of gravity of the entire e-axle assembly is offset from the axle line, which can lead to undesirable dynamic behaviors during rapid acceleration or braking. These include pitching motions such as axle lift (front-up) during acceleration and nosedive during deceleration. Configuration 2: Three-Piece Axle Housing Structure Electric Truck Axle With Three Piece Axle Housing Structure This design features square-section axle housings on both sides, with the electric motor and multi-speed gearbox mounted in the center. The three segments are connected via flanges and bolts. The main advantage of this architecture is its compact layout, which allows the gearbox to be designed with 3, 4, or even 6 speeds. This enables improved vehicle performance and energy efficiency, particularly under varying load and terrain conditions. The primary drawback is the increased overall weight due to the bolted flange connections between the three sections. However, the structural integrity of this design is not compromised – the axle can support up to 13 tons, making it fully suitable for heavy-duty applications. Electric Truck With Three-Piece Axle Housing eAxle From a cost perspective, Configuration 1 is more economical and is currently more common in the market. However, from a technological and performance standpoint, the three-piece structure – with its modular layout and support for multi-speed transmissions – is emerging as the mainstream trend in electric axle development for heavy-duty trucks. 2. Choosing the Number of Motors Due to space constraints, electric truck axles typically integrate a single motor. For example, our latest e-axle features a single motor delivering 300  kW peak power (407  hp) and 200  kW rated power (271  hp). It utilizes an oil-cooled system and achieves a maximum output torque of 38,483 Nm. With its integrated axle housing design, it supports a maximum axle load of up to 16,000 kg. Electric Water Truck With Brogen Single Motor Electric Truck Axle To further increase power output, dual-motor configurations are required. These can be arranged in two main ways: Inline configuration: Two motors positioned front and rear, jointly driving the central final drive. Distributed design: Similar to the layout in the Tesla Semi, where the second axle is used as the drive axle. It employs two motors, each driving one half-shaft independently, using

Development Trends in Battery Electric Heavy Duty Trucks (e-HDTs)

Development Trends in Battery Electric Heavy-Duty Trucks (e-HDTs) 1. Transition Toward Purpose-Built Development of Electric Heavy Duty Trucks In the current stage of the development of electric heavy-duty trucks (e-HDTs), most models still follow a “diesel-to-electric conversion” approach due to immature technologies and limited production scale. However, in the long run, purpose-built development of dedicated e-HDT platforms will be essential for performance enhancement and is the strategic direction adopted by leading OEMs. Today’s diesel-converted e-HDTs retain the basic layout of their diesel counterparts. The internal combustion engine is replaced with an electric motor, and battery packs are typically mounted behind the cab or on both sides of the chassis. While this transitional approach allows for faster product rollout at controlled costs, it comes with performance compromises, such as inefficient chassis space usage, lower drivetrain efficiency, and limited battery space, reducing cargo capacity and driving range, thus affecting operational effectiveness and cost-efficiency. To achieve large-scale commercialization, industry leaders are moving toward ground-up development of e-HDT platforms, optimizing the e-powertrain, chassis architecture, and vehicle aerodynamics to fully unlock the advantages of electrification. 2. Electric Drive Systems Limitations of Central Drive Architecture Most converted e-HDTs continue to use the central drive architecture typical of diesel trucks – simply replacing the engine with an electric motor. This results in systems that are bulky, heavy, and less efficient. Integrated E-Axles & Distributed Drive Purpose-built e-HDTs allow for deep optimization of the electric drivetrain. As commercial EV powertrains become more integrated, both integrated e-axles and distributed drive solutions are emerging. Although distributed drive systems using hub motors are still in early development, integrated e-axles are currently the mainstream choice. Compared to the central drive, integrated e-axles combine the motor, gearbox, and drive shaft into a compact, highly integrated system. Advantages include: Smaller spatial footprint Higher integration and system efficiency Fewer transmission components Lower vehicle weight and increased usable space These benefits translate into improved performance, energy efficiency, and packaging flexibility. High-Voltage Platforms: The Next Step The trend is shifting from 400V systems (common in passenger EVs) and 600V systems (used in commercial vehicles) toward 800V-1000V high-voltage platforms. Key advantages include: Ultra-fast Charging: Higher voltage enables significantly faster charging, especially critical for commercial vehicles with large battery capacities and tight operational schedules. Enhanced Driving Efficiency: Lower current at higher voltage reduces power losses, increasing overall system efficiency and extending driving range. Porsche first adopted the 800V platform in 2019 with the Taycan. Now, commercial vehicle manufacturers are starting to follow suit. The realization of ultra-first charging requires not only vehicle-side high-voltage systems but also widespread deployment of high-powered charging stations. 3. Fast Charging Technology Evolution The realization of ultra-fast charging requires not only vehicle-side high-voltage systems but also widespread deployment of high-powered charging stations. To support the rising demand for ultra-fast charging: Charging Module Power is steadily increasing – from 7.5 kW (1st gen) to 15-20 kW (2nd gen), and now 30-40 kW (3rd gen) in mainstream systems. Liquid-Cooled Systems are becoming standard for improved heat dissipation, reduced noise, and easier maintenance. Tesla’s V2 Supercharger (2019) and GAC Aion’s A480 (2021) are early adopters of liquid-cooled fast-charging technologies. These trends are expected to transition from passenger to commercial EVs in the near future. 4. Chassis Layout Optimization for Electric Heavy Duty Trucks Diesel truck chassis are traditionally designed with a ladder frame to accommodate a front-engine, rear-drive layout. Retaining this setup in e-HDTs creates challenges, especially in battery packaging, leading to inefficient space use and reduced cargo volume. With a clean-sheet design, purpose-built eHDTs can eliminate the driveshaft and re-engineer the frame to accommodate skateboard-style battery layouts. Benefits include: Higher Energy Density: More battery space improves range without compromising cargo space. Structural Integration: Box-section frames housing the battery enhance structural integrity and load-bearing performance. Lower Center of Gravity: Improves handling, cornering stability, and safety. Sleeker Exterior: Optimized space usage allows for better design flexibility. 5. Aerodynamic and Lightweight Body Design for Electric Heavy Duty Trucks With purpose-built platforms, e-HDTs are no longer limited to the traditional “cab-over” shape. Redesigning the cab structure enables the use of lightweight materials and aerodynamic profiles to reduce drag and improve efficiency. For example, most cab-over trucks in China have a drag coefficient (Cd) between 0.55 and 0.65. In contrast, Tesla’s Semi, which features a bullet-nose design and a single-seat cab, claims a Cd as low as 0.36. Conclusion The electrification of heavy-duty trucks is transitioning from retrofitted solutions to fully purpose-built platforms. From integrated drivetrains and high-voltage architectures to optimized chassis and aerodynamic designs, leading OEMs are paving the way for the next generation of e-HDTs designed for higher efficiency, better performance, and large-scale commercial viability.

What Will Be the Mainstream Battery Capacity of Electric Heavy Trucks in 2025?

What Will Be the Mainstream Battery Capacity of Electric Heavy Trucks in 2025? In 2024, the electric heavy truck market has seen unprecedented changes. Fierce industry competition, exploration of long-haul transportation, significant price drops, the rise of large-battery electric heavy trucks, and the resurgence of fast-charging trucks have all shaped the current landscape. Among these changes, the sharp decline in vehicle prices has left the deepest impact. More importantly, it has accelerated the large-scale adoption of electric heavy trucks with higher battery capacities — a trend that is fundamentally reshaping fleet operations. The substantial reduction in purchase costs has opened the door for the widespread deployment of electric heavy trucks equipped with large-capacity battery packs. While electric heavy trucks with smaller battery capacities have seen a relative decline in market share, their sales continue to grow steadily. They remain an essential part of the market and are far from being phased out. According to the Research, the battery capacity of electric heavy trucks currently available on the market varies significantly — ranging from 282 kWh to 729 kWh. This diversity provides operators with more choices, but also raises an important question: How should fleet operators choose the right electric heavy truck configuration for their specific application scenarios? (Note: This article refers to electric heavy trucks used for legally compliant, standard-load transportation.) Operational Scenarios Define Battery Capacity Requirements After several years of development, electric heavy trucks have been primarily applied in short-distance transport scenarios, such as port drayage, mining logistics, and regional distribution. However, the industry is actively testing electric heavy trucks in long-haul and trunk line transportation, leading to increasingly diverse and complex operational demands. One of the most widely discussed topics remains driving range — a factor directly linked to battery capacity. While a higher battery capacity provides a longer range, it also increases vehicle weight, reducing payload capacity and potentially affecting profitability. For instance, a 300 kWh battery pack typically weighs around 1,875 kg. Including the battery frame and auxiliary structures, the total battery system weight easily exceeds 2 tons. (This calculation assumes an energy density of 160 Wh/kg, meaning approximately 6.25 kg per kWh.) Under legal load restrictions, the heavier the battery, the lower the cargo capacity — posing a challenge for operators to balance battery size and transport efficiency. Example 1: Short-Haul Urban Logistics — Prioritizing Light Weight and Flexibility In urban logistics scenarios, where electric heavy trucks operate within a city radius of 100-150 km, smaller battery capacities are often more practical. For example, a 350 kWh battery pack provides sufficient range for daily operations while minimizing additional vehicle weight. A logistics company operating within a port area in Shanghai chose electric heavy trucks equipped with 350 kWh batteries. These trucks focus on high-frequency, short-distance transport tasks, benefiting from fast-charging stations deployed within the port zone. The lighter battery system allows the trucks to maximize payload capacity while maintaining operational flexibility. Example 2: Long-Haul Trunk Line Transportation — Embracing Large-Capacity Batteries For long-haul transport scenarios, where electric heavy trucks must travel 300-400 km or more between charging opportunities, larger battery capacities become essential. In northern China, a coal transport fleet has adopted electric heavy trucks equipped with 729 kWh battery packs. These vehicles operate on a dedicated trunk line of approximately 350 km between two mining sites and a port terminal. The large-capacity batteries ensure sufficient range under heavy-load conditions and allow for fewer charging interruptions, improving overall transport efficiency. Conclusion: Choosing the Right Battery Capacity for Electric Heavy Trucks Ultimately, the choice of battery capacity for electric heavy trucks depends on the specific operational scenario. Operators must carefully evaluate transport distance, charging infrastructure availability, cargo load requirements, and total cost of ownership. Looking ahead to 2025, it is expected that electric heavy trucks with battery capacities ranging from 350 kWh to 600 kWh will become the mainstream choice for most standard logistics applications. Meanwhile, ultra-large battery systems above 700 kWh will continue to serve specialized long-haul and heavy-load transport needs. With the ongoing advancement of battery technology and the expansion of fast-charging networks, the future of electric heavy trucks looks promising, offering operators more efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective transport solutions.

Tips for Choosing the Right Electric Truck

Tips for Choosing the Right Electric Truck As the adoption of electric trucks continues to rise, their economic and environmental advantages are becoming increasingly evident across various use cases. More and more logistics companies are now considering a transition from traditional diesel-powered trucks to electric alternatives. However, shifting to electric trucks is not merely a matter of replacing diesel engines with electric motors. It requires a holistic transformation that includes considerations around battery range, charging infrastructure, operational strategies, and business model adjustments. According to industry research, many fleet operators are still in the exploratory phase of their electrification journey. The most common questions they face are:How do we select the right electric truck?What battery capacity is appropriate for our operations?This article provides a brief analysis of these two critical questions. 1. Understanding Two Key Energy Consumption Metrics: Technical vs. Economic Energy efficiency is a key factor for logistics companies when choosing a truck. In the diesel era, manufacturers emphasized fuel economy. In the electric era, the focus has naturally shifted to electricity consumption. However, the energy consumption figures provided by electric truck manufacturers are often based on short-term, controlled testing conditions—what can be called “laboratory data”—and may differ significantly from real-world usage. Before purchasing an electric truck, it’s essential to distinguish between two types of energy consumption metrics: ● Technical Metric (kWh/km) This refers to the energy used per kilometer to drive the vehicle and is the most commonly advertised figure by OEMs. Under standard test conditions—such as on level roads with balanced loading—many electric heavy-duty trucks achieve an average of 1.5 kWh per kilometer.However, this figure typically excludes the energy consumed by auxiliary systems such as thermal management, air conditioning, battery heating or cooling systems, and more. In real-world scenarios, especially during northern winters, the actual range of electric trucks can drop to only 60% of what is achievable in summer, meaning energy consumption increases significantly. Therefore, the technical metric is more of an idealized efficiency indicator that reflects the performance of the motor and drivetrain under optimal conditions, without accounting for real-life variables. ● Economic Metric (kWh per Ton) This is a more realistic metric for fleet operations. Rather than measuring energy per kilometer, it calculates energy use based on the amount of cargo transported—specifically, the total electricity consumed divided by the total tonnage hauled. This “ton-kWh” metric includes both driving energy and the power consumed by auxiliary systems. For logistics companies, focusing on this economic metric allows for a more accurate assessment of a vehicle’s real-world energy efficiency and operating cost, making it a more valuable reference for decision-making. It’s also important to remember that energy consumption can vary significantly depending on operational context, driving habits, road conditions, and climate. All of these should be considered when selecting a vehicle. 2. Is Bigger Battery Capacity Always Better? Once energy consumption is well understood, the next key question for logistics companies is: How much battery capacity do we really need?Battery capacity directly determines the driving range and operational efficiency of an electric heavy-duty truck. Selecting the right battery specification for specific transport scenarios is critical for fleet operators. With technological advancements and declining raw material costs, battery options on the market have become increasingly diverse. Capacities have grown from 282 kWh just a few years ago to 350 kWh, 423 kWh, and even 500–800 kWh packs are now available. But does bigger always mean better when it comes to batteries? ● The Trade-offs of Larger Battery Packs Admittedly, a larger battery pack can significantly extend a truck’s driving range and reduce the frequency of charging, improving operational flexibility. This naturally appeals to many logistics operators looking to maximize efficiency. However, when choosing battery capacity, companies must carefully balance several factors — including actual operational needs, cost budgets, and compatibility with available charging infrastructure. ● Key Considerations: If local charging facilities cannot support fast charging for large-capacity batteries, it may hinder the vehicle’s turnaround efficiency — offsetting the benefits of a larger battery. Heavier batteries increase the truck’s curb weight, reducing its payload capacity and, in turn, affecting the profitability of the fleet. For example, current battery technology adds approximately 5 to 6 kg of weight per additional kilowatt-hour. Comparing a 282 kWh battery to a 423 kWh battery, the weight difference exceeds 700 kg. If a truck operates two trips per day, this weight penalty translates to a reduction of 1.5 tons of cargo capacity daily. Over the course of a year (assuming 300 working days), the lost payload could amount to 450 tons — a significant profit loss that logistics companies cannot ignore. Moreover, larger battery packs drive up the initial vehicle purchase cost, placing additional financial pressure on logistics operators in the early stages of electrification. Final Thoughts Whether evaluating the true energy consumption of an electric truck or selecting the appropriate battery capacity, logistics companies must consider these decisions within the context of their specific transport scenarios and operational requirements. By taking a comprehensive approach — weighing energy efficiency, operational demands, infrastructure readiness, and cost-effectiveness — companies can strike the optimal balance between economic benefit and operational efficiency, paving the way for sustainable fleet development in the electric era.
