Equipmake doubles continuous power of heavy-duty motor
Equipmake has unveiled a heavy-duty electric motor with double the continuous power of its predecessor.
The HTM-3500 state-of-the-art e-motor boasts the same peak figures of 3500 Nm and 400 kW as before, but continuous power has been doubled from 100 kW to 200 kW at 2500 rpm.
The motor is direct-drive, integrating to the propshaft and axle without the need of a separate transmission.
Equipmake CEO Ian Foley said: “By doubling its continuous power, our new HTM-3500 enables electric buses, coaches, trucks and other heavy vehicles to operate with greater real-world performance and efficiency during their regular duty cycles.”
The company also carries out conversions of existing vehicles such as fire trucks with REV Group in the US and Emergency One in the UK, alongside various airside logistical vehicles at airports.
