Lonestar SV, founded in 2014, specialises in final stage assembly and refurbishment of commercial vehicles. Dana’s e-Powertrain system can be adapted by Lonestar SV into a vehicle with a non-powered rolling chassis, or existing vehicles with diesel engines can be converted into all-electric trucks.
The solution can be used to extend the useful life of a fleet’s capital investment by repowering and refurbishing an existing chassis. It also allows for recycling of a chassis for further carbon footprint reduction.
“Utilising our strength in the development of complete battery-electric vehicle systems, Dana engineered the electric powertrain from the ground up,” said Dana Commercial Vehicle Driveline Technologies president, Mark Wallace.
“This competency, augmented with Lonestar’s extensive vehicle assembly and refurbishing experience, provides fleets the ability to immediately outfit terminal tractors with complete electrified systems for reduced emissions and increased operating efficiencies.”
