Electric Powertrain System

AxleTech is introducing the new AFE Series, a line of systems engineered electric powertrain systems designed to fit many off-highway and specialty applications, replacing the vehicle’s traditional powertrain system. The AFE Series is a bolt-in solution compatible with the current vehicle frame, suspension, wheel-ends, and OEM vehicle assembly process. The AFE Series features our new modular eCarrier system which replaces the existing mechanical carrier on many AxleTech axle models, including the 120, 145, 160, and 180 Series carriers. Our system is compatible with full battery electric vehicles (BEV), fuel cell range extender electric vehicles (FCEV), internal combustion engine (ICE) or turbine generator range extenders (REV).
