The first integrated electric axles for heavy commercial vehicles have just left the new production lines at the FPT Industrial ePowertrain plant in Turin. Within a few days they will be at the disposal of the Nikola plant in Coolidge, Arizona, for installation in the Nikola Tre class-8 battery electric truck. The delivery of these extraordinary axles, which offer a power output of up to 840 kW/1,140 hp, exceptional efficiency, and the highest levels of sustainability, is a further step towards full operability of zero-emissions heavy transport.
Scheduled for completion by the end of 2022, the Strada Cascinette FPT Industrial plant will occupy 1,500 m² and will employ up to 200 highly specialized people.
