The Motiv electric Powertrain Control System (ePCS) enables all-electric drive commercial vehicles to be built as easily as diesel vehicles, while providing clear benefits in operating costs, maintenance, configurability and emissions reductions.

 

The Motiv ePCS is a modular, electronic control system which fits on conventional truck chassis. Using the hardware controllers and the software that make up the Motiv ePCS, a truck builder can easily add an all-electric option to their chassis lineup. Motiv also offers powertrain kits optimized for specific drive-cycle needs. These kits comprise batteries, motor(s), charger, ancillaries (like HVAC), and the Motiv ePCS. They are shipped to conventional truck chassis builders, who then assemble these kits directly on to the same chassis they equip with gasoline or diesel engines today.

 

Motiv is building a library of compatible batteries and other components that can plug in to the Motiv ePCS with no reconfiguration. The Motiv ePCS is agnostic to battery voltage or impedance, making integration of new and different battery technology a breeze. A truck chassis equipped with the Motiv ePCS can have any battery system that the fleet wants to use without incurring expensive redesign and re-testing. Fleets ensure they are not tied down to only one battery supplier, and their trucks are future-proofed.
