IVECO will produce and market its heavy-duty battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and the heavy-duty fuel cell electric trucks under their own brand, following June’s acquisition of the full and sole ownership of the former joint venture Nikola Iveco Europe.
The Iveco HD BEV and FCEV feature an electric axle co-designed and produced by FPT Industrial, Iveco’s sister brand within Iveco Group specialised in powertrain batteries will be supplied by Proterra, and fuel cell technology and key components by Bosch. These vehicles based on the Iveco S-Way truck platform, specifically redesigned to be capable of supporting both fuel cell and battery propulsion technology.
The Iveco HD BEV has a range of up to 300 miles, features a total battery capacity of 738kWh (nine packs) with charging power up to 350kW.
