Battery Electric Truck Chassis Platform Overview
Jenwyn Tech’s battery electric truck chassis platform provides a development foundation for OEMs, body manufacturers, and vehicle assemblers building electric commercial trucks. Available in 6T and 8T configurations, the platform combines an established chassis architecture with an integrated electric powertrain, supporting vehicle development and adaptation for different commercial applications.
Integrated Chassis Systems
The platform integrates the electric powertrain, battery, electronic controls, and other auxiliary systems. This reduces component sourcing and system development work for vehicle manufacturers.
Rear Integrated Liquid-Cooled PMSM E-Axle
A liquid-cooled PMSM is integrated with the rear drive axle, creating a compact propulsion layout. This saves packaging space for the battery system, vehicle structure, and truck body.
Flexible Battery Capacity
Beyond the standard configuration, battery capacity options include 73.14 kWh, 81 kWh, and 120 kWh to suit different range requirements. Battery systems can be sourced from leading suppliers such as CATL, Gotion, and BYD, or specified by the customer.
Protected In-Frame Battery Layout
The battery packs are installed within the main chassis frame, helping shield them from side impacts and providing a protected packaging arrangement for commercial vehicle applications.
Reinforced Underbody Battery Protection
A hot-formed steel (PHS) underbody shield helps resist impact intrusion. A PVC stone-chip base coat and puncture-resistant top layer provide additional protection against road debris and sharp objects that could damage the battery pack.
Pre-Routed Wiring
Electrical connectors are routed, loomed, and labeled before shipment, simplifying body installation and reducing wiring work during vehicle assembly.
Applications for the Battery Electric Truck Chassis
The Jenwyn Tech 6T / 8T battery electric truck chassis platforms can be evaluated for a range of commercial cargo applications. Vehicle suitability depends on gross vehicle weight, cargo body configuration, daily mileage, operating conditions, and charging arrangements. Final specifications should be confirmed against the requirements of each project.
Urban and Last-Mile Delivery
For parcel delivery, e-commerce distribution, supermarket replenishment, and other urban freight operations. Regular delivery routes and planned depot charging can help operators assess vehicle utilization and operating costs.
Configuration considerations: Gross vehicle weight, cargo volume, daily mileage, stop-start duty cycle, and charging schedule.
Temperature-Controlled Transport
For refrigerated delivery of food, beverages, and other temperature-sensitive goods. The chassis configuration should account for the weight of the insulated body and the additional energy demand of refrigeration equipment.
Configuration considerations: Insulated body weight, refrigeration power demand, required operating temperature, payload, and driving range.
Regional and Inter-Site Logistics
For cargo transport between warehouses, distribution centers, industrial facilities, and nearby operating sites. Route distance, loading conditions, and road gradients should be assessed when matching the chassis to the intended duty cycle.
Configuration considerations: Gross vehicle weight, axle loads, route distance, gradeability, and charging intervals.
Customized EV LCV Projects
For projects requiring application-specific cargo bodies, vehicle structures, or auxiliary equipment. Chassis suitability and integration requirements should be reviewed individually according to body mounting, load distribution, electrical interfaces, and local regulations.
Configuration considerations: Body mounting interfaces, load distribution, auxiliary power demand, operating weight, and project-specific validation.
