We’ll do electrification, fuel cell, hydrogen technologies, conventional diesel powertrains, etc. “We are doing that today for full turnkey applications for some customers when they need it, or bits and pieces, meaning if they only want us to do the cab design, we can do that. “FEV can design and develop a full truck like an OEM,” explained Tom Tasky, vice president at FEV.

Through that partnership, FEV is also developing the controls strategy for the propulsion system and providing vehicle integration for OEM ADAS features, controls, and driver interfaces. The company has recently branched into the commercial vehicle space, developing full, turnkey truck designs and transitional solutions for North American OEMs.įEV recently partnered with electrified powertrain systems startup Hyliion to support the design, development, integration, and validation of Hyliion’s Hypertruck Electric Range Extender (ERX) for Class 8 tractor-trailer applications. One global engineering provider, FEV, laid its foundation in developing vehicle and powertrain strategies in the automotive sector for more than 40 years. More and more over the last few years, seemingly unlikely partnerships and new market entrants are moving rapidly to meet some of the demands of these newer technologies. Whether switching to battery-electric powertrains or hydrogen internal combustion engines from conventional diesel or implementing connected vehicle technologies, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), and even Level 4 automation, successful adoption of anything new takes a lot of testing, vetting, and end-user buy-in. Trucking remains at a crossroads when it comes to figuring out the right balance of technologies for different applications and use cases.
