Daimler Truck unveils Freightliner eM2, extending portfolio of electric vehicles for the North American market
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Daimler #truck North America (DTNA), the leading manufacturer of medium- and heavy-duty trucks in North America and a segment of #daimler #truck, unveiled the series production of the all new, fully electric #freightlinerem2 for urban delivery applications. The eM2 is ready to order and will start production in autumn this year. With this new #truck, DTNA is extending its lineup for series built electric vehicles for the North American market, accompanying the Freightliner eCascadia Class 8 tractor, the iconic electric schoolbus Jouley from Thomas Built Buses and the electric walk-in van platform FCCC MT50e.
Built on the best-selling Freightliner M2 106 Plus platform, the Class 6/7 eM2 expands CO2-neutral transportation to the medium-duty segment. DTNA is beginning full production of the eM2 in autumn of 2023 at its Portland #truck manufacturing plant.
The eM2 has a typical range of 180 miles (290 km) for the Class 6 version and 250 miles (400 km) for Class 7, and represents a reliable, efficient and sustainable solution for a battery electric #truck. The eM2 features a fully integrated, proprietary battery electric Detroit ePowertrain, including Detroit eAxles and batteries. The vehicle minimizes energy cost per mile by removing the drivetrain and other mechanical components in favor of a lighter, simpler design, which packages the electric motors and 2-speed transmission directly onto the drive axles.
Multiple battery size options are available, allowing customers to find the right balance between range/runtime and price. The Class 6 powertrain provides up to 190 continuous hp, a 194 kWh battery and a typical range of 180 miles (290 km) on one charge. The Class 7 powertrain provides up to 255 continuous hp, a 291 kWh battery and a typical range of 250 miles (400 km) on one charge.
Together with the eCascadia, the eM2 has clocked up more than 1.5 million test kilometres with customers - each in a variety of real-world applications in nearly 50 fleets on the West Coast, in New Jersey and Canada. These customer trials have transformed the testing process by collecting real-world vehicle performance experience, while also providing those companies a chance to test the integration of battery electric trucks into their own fleets.
