Problem
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.
Solution
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.
Target Audience
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.
