USA - Vehicle and powertrain hardware and software developer, FEV North America Inc of Auburn Hills, Michigan, USA (a subsidiary of FEV Group), has entered a long-term agreement with electrified powertrain systems provider, Hyliion Holdings Corporation¹, to support the design, development, integration, and production validation of their innovative Electric Range Extender (ERX) for Class 8 tractor trailer applications.

Austin, Texas, based Hyliion is striving for the ultimate solution for sustainable, heavy-duty transportation through its Hypertruck ERX powertrain. The vehicle uses a propulsion system that combines a renewable natural gas (RNG) on-board electricity generator with a series of lightweight batteries to power an electrified drivetrain. This propulsion system is optimized to provide significant cost and environmental benefits for fleet owners, while also maximizing fleet uptime and eliminating range anxiety which can occur while operating conventional battery electric vehicles with limited range and charging infrastructure.
