Model 579EV

Fulfilling customer demands with freedom from tailpipe emissions

• Instead of an engine, batteries power the e-axle(s) to deliver abundant low-end torque
• The e-axles are outfitted with two-speed gearing and a 2:1 gearing reduction for great start-ability and efficient cruising
• Regenerative braking recharges the batteries to maximize range
• The under-hood area, where the engine is usually housed, contains battery disconnect controls, on-board vehicle AC charger, cab heater and the air compressor
• This area also includes a DC-DC and low-voltage battery converter, which provides 12-volt current to power all other electronic equipment such as cab electronics and lights
