Motiv Power Systems announced its newest generation of EPIC chassis for medium-duty electric fleets. The fifth generation EPIC F-59 and E-450 chassis have reduced the total number of components in the electric powertrain by 30%, while also improving range, acceleration, and top speed.
The fifth-generation EPIC chassis incorporate BMW’s commercially-proven, high-performance batteries in a new robust architecture and includes Motiv’s latest release of its AdaptEV software. The BMW battery packs offer fleets proven road performance, increased reliability, and longer warranties. The battery packs come with a five-year/75k mile warranty and validated with billions of real-world miles. This validation gives them the added advantage of exposure to every possible road condition that fleet drivers may encounter.
Motiv’s AdaptEV software offers fleets features such as hill hold driver assist and two-hour, high-speed charging. Other features include telematics as well as vehicle to grid (V2G) support capability.
Software upgrades are available to fleets via seamless over-the-air updates. With deployments underway, Motiv is scaling its manufacturing capabilities to meet growing demand.
CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
“Falling in line with our mission to free fleets from fossil fuels, our company continues to invest in R&D to bring new technology to market that delivers exceptional results to our fleet customers,” says Motiv chairman and CEO Matt O’Leary. “Delivering reliable solutions and continuously improving on these solutions not only enables fleets to grow their electrification programs at a quicker rate, but also builds lasting customer relationships.”
Additionally, like all Motiv-powered vehicles in the field, the new Ford eQVM-approved chassis have a three-year/50k mile powertrain warranty. The robust design and full OEM warranty provides reliable coverage for fleet operators. Motiv-powered vehicles are proven to be on par with internal combustion engine vehicles. However, Motiv vehicles offer 99% uptime and up to 85% operation and maintenance cost savings, comparatively.
