FPT Industrial, an Iveco Group brand dedicated to the design, production, and sale of low-environmental impact powertrains, is exhibiting at the ACT Expo 2024 this week in Las Vegas, the world’s largest advanced commercial vehicle technology show.
At Booth #3759 (West Hall), the company is putting into practice its flexible approach to the energy transition by showcasing both ePowertrain solutions and multifuel ICE powertrains. In keeping with its 360-degree approach toward carbon neutrality, FPT Industrial will offset the emissions generated by its stand at ACT Expo.
All the factors and actions involved in the stand’s construction, dismantling, power, and transportation will be taken into consideration. The total carbon footprint will be offset through the purchase of certified carbon credits.
Visitors can see the 6×4 eAxle eAX375, a first for the North American market and the first model of FPT Industrial’s second generation eAxles. Additionally, the eAX840-R, the first HDT eAxle on the market, the LCV Central Drive eCD140, and the new XC13 (including hydrogen versions) will be on display.
The eAX375-R: An efficient, high-performance solution for medium and heavy-duty applications
Making its debut in North America and marking the birth of the second generation of FPT Industrial eAxles, the eAX375-R integrated electric axle is suitable for medium-duty 4×2 vehicles of up to 29 tons GVW, and heavy-duty 6×4 vehicles of up to 49 tons GCVW. Thanks to multi-speed gearing, the eAX375-R delivers high performance and outstanding efficiency.
The design developed by FPT Industrial’s team, such as the bolted wheel end, allows the electric axle to be scalable and extremely adaptable to meet different powertrain requirements. This is how the crand’s know-how supports everyday customer needs. Up to 30,000 Nm / 22,000 lb-ft torque at the wheels, and service life of up to a million miles (depending on customer mission), it ensures sustainability and delivers uptime performance.
The eAX840-R: Single-speed, dual-motor electric axle
FPT Industrial is also introducing this axle co-developed with input from Nikola for the Nikola TRE Class 8 truck in the US. As the first HDT eAxle on the market, it’s designed for heavy vehicles, with multiple transmission ratios available.
The eAX840-R is a groundbreaking solution in the electric truck market, offering a unique combination of efficiency, performance, and ease of integration. Its single-speed design eliminates the need for a transmission control unit (TCU), simplifying the overall system and reducing development time. This enabled FPT Industrial to bring the eAX840-R to market in just two years from the concept stage.
