New eGen Power 85S e-axle
USA / Turkey – Earlier this month, Indianapolis-based Allison Transmission Inc launched the latest version of its e-axle, the new eGen Power 85S at Busworld Europe in Brussels. Allison also announced that it has partnered with Turkish bus builder, Anadolu Isuzu (Anadolu Isuzu Otomotiv Sanayi ve Ticaret AŞ), to integrate this e-axle into its Novo Volt electric midi coach (7.3-metre), which also debuted at Busworld. This is the first time the eGen Power 85S will be integrated into a midi coach, expanding the product into a new market segment.
Allison said that the eGen Power 85S was specifically designed for the needs of midi buses, coaches and small trucks as these vehicles “require a lower 8.5t gross axle weight rating (GAWR), with a narrower track width, smaller spindle and new stamped axle housing, as compared to existing eGen Power models.”
