The collaboration combines expertise to provide integrated electric vehicle system for the market, with a Class-7 pickup and delivery demonstration vehicle in development.

BAE Systems is set to integrate its power-dense electric motor and advanced silicon carbide/gallium nitride power electronics suite with Eaton’s MD 4-speed EV transmission. This transmission mechanism facilitates heightened operational efficiency at high speeds, while a deep-ratio first gear enables seamless acceleration even under more challenging conditions.

“Our medium duty 4-speed EV transmissions are proven in the industry to offer class-leading performance through superior acceleration and gradeability, while delivering advanced efficiency for the EV system,” said Mark Kramer, business unit director, ePowertrain, Eaton’s Vehicle Group.
