Multi-speed transmissions are utterly necessary with diesel engines to keep engine operating speed within a very limited bandwidth for performance and efficiency. Electric motor have much broader power and efficiency curves, demanding far fewer gear ratios.
ZF says its acquisition of Wabco will create “a leading global integrated systems provider for commercial vehicle technology.” But what does that mean for North American fleets? Find out in this interview with HDT.
Eaton has expanded its remanufacturing program to now offer remanufacturing of electronic clutch actuators used on Eaton UltraShift Plus transmissions, maximizing the reuse of materials and reducing emissions and waste.
Eaton said its new four-speed electrified vehicle transmission operates at higher speeds than its traditional internal combustion gearbox counterparts, with gears optimized for typical electric motor performance and power curves for maximum efficiency.
