Electric Axles for Light Trucks
As with the electrification of passenger vehicles, the shift toward electric light commercial vehicles (LCVs) is marked by increasing system integration, higher performance, and enhanced reliability. Our electric axles for light trucks combine the drive motor, reduction gearbox, and drive axle into a single, compact, and lightweight unit.
By eliminating the traditional driveshaft, this design maximizes available space within the chassis, allowing for larger battery capacity and more flexible vehicle layout. The result is improved energy efficiency, extended driving range, and meaningful support for global carbon reduction efforts. Proven in real-world applications, our electric axle systems have been adopted by leading OEMs worldwide, demonstrating outstanding performance and durability.

Strengthen Your Electric Light Truck Design with eAxles
Central Direct Drive Layout
Motor (or+ Reducer) → Universal Driveshaft → Traditional Drive Axle Assembly (Main Reducer + Differential + Half Shafts) → Wheels
Same structure as the drivetrain of fuel-powered vehicles: use the drive motor to replace the engine. To increase the installation space for the battery pack, the size of the driveshaft is usually reduced and power is transmitted through the original vehicle’s drive axle.
- Short development time but high manufacturing cost.
- Takes up a lot of space in the X-direction, making battery placement difficult.
- Placing the battery up front creates an axle load imbalance, making the front heavier.
- The drive system isn't very light.
Electric Axle Solution Layout
Motor → Drive Axle Assembly (Cylindrical Gear Main Reducer + Differential + Half Shafts) → Wheels
Take the 2.34 T logistic van as an example, the motor and the gearbox are integrated onto the rear axle, allowing for easy installation. This integration reduces the number of components required by 11 types and slashing the overall weight by about 33 kilograms.
- High integration: compact structure, efficient transmission.
- Fully release the X-direction space under the floor, conducive to battery layout.
- Due to the small space occupied, it's convenient to adjust the axle load of the whole vehicle.
- The overall performance is superior.
Brogen Solution Features
Lower Vehicle Integration Costs
By removing the traditional transmission components such as the driveshaft, reducer, fixed mounts, and suspension brackets, the installation cost is significantly reduced compared to traditional central motor direct-drive systems for light commercial vehicles.
Parallel-Axis eAxle Structure
The parallel-axis eAxle design eliminates the need for power redirection, allowing the entire transmission system to use cylindrical gears instead of bevel gears. This enhances braking capability from the traditional 30% to 100%.
Compact ePowertrain
Supports rear-mounted, rear-wheel-drive configurations for trucks and short rear-overhang designs for buses, optimizing space for battery pack placement, and reduce system weight by over 20% compared to motor+driveshaft+axle setups.
Applicable Models
Brogen Solutions of Electric Axles for Light Trucks
For our electric axles for light trucks, the electric drive motor and reducer are mounted on the drive axle, with the motor positioned parallel to the axle housing. Utilizing cylindrical gear transmission for a high gear ratio, the integrated design removes unnecessary transmission components, resulting in a more compact structure and increased transmission efficiency.
