New eGen Power 85S e-axle
USA / Turkey – Earlier this month, Indianapolis-based Allison Transmission Inc launched the latest range of its new eGen Power 85S e-axle at Busworld Europe in Brussels. Allison also announced that they have 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.”
