The iQ-Cruise will be integrated with Eaton’s portfolio of automated manual transmissions, including the Eaton Cummins range.

The transmission is paired with the Cummins X15 engine, designed for peak performance for on-highway heavy-duty vehicle (HGV) applications.

The benefits of stamped battery terminals, according to the company, include weight savings and greater energy cycling performance compared to diecast or forged terminals. 

Post pandemic, BAE Systems increasing its efforts to add more transit bus customers to its client portfolio but also new customers in truck, marine and military. Tom Webb, Director Business Development at BAE Systems explains the company's approach to market.

The eHeater controller warms up the diesel exhaust after-treatment catalyst to reduce emissions, mainly nitrogen oxide (NOx) exhaust emissions. The product is seen as aiding those engine manufacturers to better meet current and even stricter emissions regulation, such as the upcoming Euro VII standards.

The decision symbolises a move towards electrification whilst the company will still serve the traditional ICE powertrains as the industry transitions to zero-emission transportation.

Eaton says the high-power lock box (HPLB) connectors in its eMobility’s Power Connections portfolio save space, cost less, and are easier to manufacture than competing products.

The real-time data generated helps technical experts to formulate recommendations to reduce unplanned downtime and enable quicker diagnosis of needed repairs.

Eaton has expanded its eMobility operations in Poland and France, whilst they are currently setting up a laboratory to test its power electronics and power distribution products in Karlsruhe, Germany.

Eaton unveiled new products in its emissions reduction technology, including a compression engine brake, cylinder deactivation and late intake valve closing solutions, designed to reduce emissions and increase fuel economy for commercial vehicles.

The exhaust thermal management system will see the companies combine Tenneco’s Cold Start Thermal Unit (CSTU) and Eaton’s Twin Vortices Series (TVS) blower which allows the airflow to be controlled to maintain the CTSU’s optimal temperature, creating less CO2 emissions.

Teams at BAE and Eaton will combine their expertise in the development of an integrated electric vehicle system for the medium-duty truck market.
