The heavy-duty electric truck<\/strong> project in Portugal, powered by Brogen<\/strong>‘s integrated electric powertrain solution, represents a practical approach to electrifying high-load commercial vehicles.<\/p>

This 40-ton electric truck platform integrates an advanced EV powertrain, electro-hydraulic steering, braking systems, and auxiliary electrification components.<\/p>

This article outlines the project background, key engineering challenges, system configuration, and the technical solutions implemented for heavy-duty applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Project Background of the 40-Ton Heavy-Duty Electric Truck<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 2024. a Portugal-based new energy company initiated the development of its first 40-ton battery electric heavy-duty truck. While the parent company had strong experience in construction and energy storage, its newly established EV division required a complete and reliable electrification solution.<\/p>

To support this transition, a full-scope engineering approach was provided, covering system design, component integration, and validation support.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The vehicle platform was designed for 26\u201340 ton heavy-duty transport applications, primarily targeting freight and logistics use cases in Portugal. The project focused on delivering a complete electrification solution, including propulsion, steering, braking, and auxiliary systems integration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
