Components
eHighway Project
TransPower, in partnership with Siemens, the South Coast Air Quality Management District and the Ports of LA and Long Beach, developed two prototype demonstration “eHighway” trucks. These vehicles use TransPower’s standard Class 8 EV Truck Drive System with half the battery range of our standard trucks and add range extension through the overhead catenary “eHighway” system. This project demonstrated use of these trucks at a public roadway near the Port of LA during the Summer and Fall of 2017.
