en.Wedoany.com Reported - Hendrickson has launched the ELECTRAAX electric drive axle in the United States, specifically designed for Class 6-7 medium-duty trucks. Featuring an electric drive system supplied by Driventic, this product marks Hendrickson's first drive axle and electric drive axle. It integrates the axle, a single-speed transmission, an electric motor, and an inverter. Internal testing shows a system-level efficiency of up to 94%, helping to extend driving range and reduce energy consumption.

The electric drive axle features a modular, assembly-based architecture, offering multiple track widths, gear train, suspension, and brake options to accommodate different chassis. A lightweight axle housing reduces system mass, helping to address the weight and efficiency challenges of electric vehicles. Key design elements include full motor torque regenerative braking and a single-speed transmission, which provides smooth driving and reduces friction in pickup and delivery duty cycles.

The ELECTRAAX is primarily targeted at school buses and pickup and delivery trucks (such as those for food, beverage, and last-mile delivery). Hendrickson states that this product helps OEMs and fleets meet battery and weight requirements, balancing performance with payload. This electric drive axle was jointly developed by Hendrickson and Driventic (formerly Voith), combining the experience of both parties in ride solutions and electric drive systems. The statement declared: "With hundreds of years of combined global engineering leadership, the partnership is delivering cutting-edge electric vehicle technology and accelerating the shift to electric mobility."
