Danfoss acquired both the 1500 VDC converter technology and product team from Finnish renewable energy technology company, Ampner Oy, with plans to scale up its energy storage electrification portfolio.

The 17Xe ePowertrain, which is being tested in an Electra truck, is the result of a collaborative effort between Meritor and Danfoss Editron.

Meritor announced that in May this year it opened a new purpose-built test chamber for heavy-duty electric powertrains and drivetrain development at its brake manufacturing and global disc brake research facility in Cwmbran, UK.
