Main Propulsion Subsystems

TransPower’s ElecTruck™ Main Propulsion Subsystem (MPS) converts electrical power from the battery subsystem into mechanical power to drive the vehicle’s wheels. The MPS makes innovative use of advanced technology AC permanent magnet motors developed for the Fisker Karma hybrid automobile, which are extraordinarily compact, lightweight, and configurable in various ways to meet the requirements of a broad range of vehicles. Another unique feature of the ElecTruck™ MPS is the use of TransPower’s proprietary Automated Manual Transmission (AMT), which provides superior road performance and greater efficiency than competing electric propulsion systems, most of which rely on single gear solutions or inefficient automatic transmissions.
