Electric vehicle manufacturer Aixam Mega used the CV Operator Show to introduce a new ac motor drivetrain for its all electric Mega Multitruck vans and tippers.
Aixam reckons the new unit gives improved performance and stronger regenerative braking, while also reducing maintenance requirements – and, of course cutting carbon emissions.
On the maintenance side, brushless construction means no intervention on the motor and better component life.
Most important, though, Aixam also claims an extra 5—10% range, a 10% increase in acceleration and improved handling on slopes, thanks to the extra power (controlled via a boost switch).
By the way, there's also a new battery temperature sensor and a current sensor for better charging control.
