The new model, built on the Freightliner M2 106 Plus platform, joins the company’s current line of vehicles, including the Freightliner eCascadia Class 8 tractor, the electric Jouley school bus from Thomas Built Buses and the FCCC MT50e van.
The company says the eM2 Class 6 powertrain provides up to 190 continuous horsepower with a 194 kWh battery, and has a typical range of 180 miles; the Class 7 powertrain provides up to 255 continuous horsepower with a 291 kWh battery, and has a range of 250 miles. The Detroit ePowertrain with Detroit eAxles and batteries, says Daimler, is a simpler and lighter design that packages the motors and two-speed transmission directly onto the drive axles.
