Will develop heavy-duty e-powertrain system

AxleTech and Thor Trucks will integrate AxleTech's e-axle technology with Thor's proprietary battery technology to create a fully electric commercial vehicle powertrain

"Thor Tucks will benefit tremendously from AxleTech's industry-leading powertrain expertise as we work to meet the market's increasing demand for electrification," said Giordano Sordoni, co-founder and COO of Thor Trucks. "This partnership is a significant stride forward in our pursuit to transform the commercial transportation industry."

AxleTech provides integrated solutions for on-highway electric vehicles, including Class 6, 7, and 8 trucks, as well as transit applications. The company has established many other strategic partnerships with industry leaders to develop groundbreaking customized, fully integrated electric powertrain systems.

Earlier this year, the company unveiled its next-generation electric independent suspension concept for high-mobility applications. AxleTech's 5000 Series eISAS™ concept enhances performance and has the ability to improve stealth characteristics, lower heat signatures, and improve fuel savings to logistics vehicles, tactical vehicles, and armored personnel carriers.
