Developing an electric truck from the ground up takes time and requires significant engineering resources. For manufacturers looking to introduce a new commercial EV, starting with a proven electric truck chassis can reduce the amount of development required and provide a faster path to market.
Jenwyn Tech provides a proven electric truck chassis platform that has entered batch production and has been exported to international markets including the Philippines, South Korea and Ecuador.
The platform combines the core chassis and electric drive systems in an established vehicle architecture. Customers can use the existing platform as a starting point and adapt selected specifications to suit their vehicle, body and market requirements—without having to develop the entire chassis from scratch.
A Proven Platform for Commercial EV Truck Development
A new electric truck involves much more than selecting a motor and battery. The chassis, electric drive system, battery installation, braking, steering, suspension and vehicle controls all need to work together as a complete vehicle system. Developing and validating these systems from the ground up can require substantial engineering time and investment.
A proven chassis platform offers a different approach.
Instead of starting with a blank sheet, manufacturers can build on an existing electric truck architecture that has already been developed and put into production. This can help:
- Reduce upfront R&D investment
- Shorten chassis development time
- Reduce engineering workload
- Avoid repeating development work
- Simplify the development of a new commercial EV
- Bring new vehicle models to market sooner
The idea is simple: keep what already works and develop only what needs to change.
Flexible Chassis, Not a Fixed Configuration
Although the platform is based on an established design, it is not limited to one fixed vehicle configuration. Selected specifications can be adapted according to the customer’s vehicle requirements and target application while retaining the proven core chassis and electric drive architecture.
Depending on the project, this may include:
- Wheelbase and overall dimensions
- Payload requirements
- Battery capacity
- Vehicle body configuration
- Suspension setup
- Electrical equipment
- Application-specific requirements
This provides a practical middle ground between a fixed production vehicle and a completely new truck chassis development program. Customers can retain the proven elements of the platform and make targeted changes where required.
Electric Truck Chassis and Powertrain
The platform combines a commercial truck chassis layout with a rear-mounted electric drive axle system.
1. Electric Drive Axle System
The platform uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor with rear-wheel drive axle and a fixed-ratio reduction gearbox. Depending on the configuration, the motor provides approximately:
- 75 kW rated power
- Up to 145 kW peak power
- Up to 330 N·m peak torque
The electric drive axle system is designed for commercial truck applications, providing the torque and controllability required for everyday operation.
2. LFP Battery System
The platform uses a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery system with a nominal voltage of approximately 614 V. The current configuration uses approximately 92 kWh of battery capacity. Battery capacity and configuration can be adjusted according to the required range, payload and operating conditions.
3. EV Chassis Architecture
The chassis incorporates:
- Welded variable-section frame
- Front I-beam axle
- Integrated electric drive rear axle
- Leaf-spring suspension
- Hydraulic braking system
- Electric power steering
The chassis architecture is designed around the load, durability and operating requirements of commercial electric trucks.

* Actual driving range depends on vehicle configuration, payload, driving cycle, road conditions and operating environment.
Proven in International Markets
The electric truck chassis has already entered batch production and has been exported to multiple international markets. Current international applications include the Philippines, South Korea, Ecuador, and more.
These markets represent different vehicle operating environments and customer requirements, providing practical production and export experience with the platform. This production experience gives customers an established reference point when evaluating the chassis for their own commercial EV programs.
Who Is This Electric Truck Chassis For?
The platform can be used by different types of commercial EV manufacturers and vehicle developers.
1. Truck Manufacturers
For manufacturers developing an electric version of an existing truck, the chassis can provide an established foundation for a new EV model.
2. New Commercial EV Entrants
Companies entering the commercial EV market can use the platform to reduce the amount of chassis and powertrain development required for an initial vehicle program.
3. Local Vehicle Manufacturers
Local manufacturers can combine the electric chassis with their own bodywork or work with local body builders to develop a vehicle for their market.
4. Vehicle Development Projects
For projects with specific requirements for dimensions, payload, battery capacity or body configuration, selected elements of the platform can be adapted without developing the entire chassis from the beginning.
A More Efficient Route to Market
A completely new electric truck chassis gives manufacturers maximum freedom, but it also means taking on the full cost and workload of chassis development, testing and validation. A proven platform provides another option.
Start with a proven chassis → Adapt what needs to change → Complete vehicle development → Move toward production
This approach does not eliminate engineering work. Instead, it allows manufacturers to focus their engineering resources on the areas that are unique to their vehicle. For the right project, this can mean lower initial R&D investment, less development work and a shorter path from vehicle concept to market launch.
