The long-haul trucking industry faces challenges in transitioning to electric vehicles due to limitations in battery energy density, range, and payload capacity, resulting in a high total cost of ownership for electric trucks compared to traditional diesel vehicles. Existing electric truck designs often involve compromises and tradeoffs that hinder their efficiency and practicality for heavy-duty applications.

BET MOTORS offers the Exoskate® chassis platform, a cell-to-chassis design optimized for heavy-duty battery electric trucks. This platform enhances energy density, reduces energy consumption to less than 0.9 kWh/km, and maximizes payload capacity. The Exoskate® platform is designed to be compatible with various conventional cabins or future autonomous drive trucks, and it can be configured for different battery capacities and axle configurations. By using multi-function principles, the Exoskate® minimizes the number of parts, reduces weight, and enhances safety.

Cell-to-chassis design for up to 25% higher energy density at the chassis level

Highly integrated drive system, predictive and adaptive control strategies, and aero thermal design for up to 40% less energy consumption

Configurable for 600 or 1000kWh battery capacity

Compatible with various conventional cabins or future autonomous drive trucks

Configurable for different battery capacities, axle configurations, and hauling needs

Designed for easy recycling by avoiding composite materials

The primary target audience includes manufacturers of heavy-duty electric trucks and companies in the logistics and transportation sectors seeking to transition to electric vehicles for long-haul transport.
