New solutions expand electric vehicle systems for medium and heavy commercial vehicles.
BAE Systems, a leader in electric propulsion, and Eaton, a global energy management company, are expanding their collaboration to provide electric vehicle solutions (EV) for heavy trucks. The initiative offers original equipment manufacturers and commercial vehicle modifiers a system EV comprehensive, efficient and flexible, adapted to a wide range of zero-emission platforms.
Expanding collaboration
In 2023, the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding to provide electric drive technology solutions for the medium-duty truck market. Now, the collaboration expands to include heavy-duty applications, offering manufacturers a complete line of electric drive systems for commercial trucks over 19 tons.

BEAUTY AND PERSONAL CARE
BAE Systems will integrate its electric motor and advanced power electronics suite with the transmission EV Eaton 4-speed HD to provide a system EV complete for heavy duty. Combined with the existing MD-4 solution, these systems are designed for medium- and heavy-duty applications such as pickup and delivery trucks, school and transit buses, and materials handling, trash, and commuter trucks.
Innovation and experience
“We are combining our experience and proven technology to offer customers a complete EV,” said Bob Lamanna, vice president and general manager of Power and Propulsion Solutions at BAE Systems.
“By expanding our scope to include more vehicle classifications, our robust system ensures high performance and reliability across a broader range of classes and sizes,” said Mark Kramer, business unit director, ePowertrain, Eaton Vehicle Group.
The solution from BAE Systems and Eaton brings proven technology into an integrated package that meets the demands of the commercial truck market, the result of decades of collective experience in vehicle electrification. BAE Systems power electronics utilize advanced materials and a compact, modular design that reduces the number of parts, making it highly reliable and adaptable to a variety of platforms. MD and HD broadcasts EV from Eaton were developed specifically to increase the range and acceleration of commercial electric vehicles.
History of innovation
BAE Systems' electric drive technology builds on more than 25 years of innovation, powering low- and zero-emission platforms on land and at sea, including battery electric, fuel cell and hybrid electric vehicles. The company has more than 16.000 propulsion systems operating in transit buses, boats, military and industrial vehicles around the world, accumulating more than five billion miles of proven performance.
Developed, manufactured and maintained at its facilities in Endicott, New York, Rochester, United Kingdom, and Guaymas, Mexico, BAE Systems' electric propulsion technology continues to advance toward a more sustainable future for commercial transportation.
The expanded collaboration between BAE Systems and Eaton promises to provide even more efficient and reliable solutions for the commercial vehicle industry, significantly contributing to decarbonization and the adoption of zero-emission technologies in the sector.
