6T / 8T Range-Extended Electric Truck Chassis Platforms
We provide 6T / 8T range-extended electric truck chassis platforms for commercial vehicle OEMs, truck body manufacturers, and vehicle assemblers. The platform combines electric powertrain with an onboard range-extender system that generates electricity to support vehicle operation. This allows the truck to retain electric drive while adding an onboard energy source beyond the traction battery.
The architecture is worth considering for regional distribution, high-utilization logistics, and other applications where daily mileage or limited charging opportunities can make battery-only operation more challenging.
Powertrain and battery configurations can be evaluated according to vehicle requirements, operating conditions, and target-market needs. Jenwyn Tech supports chassis configuration and system integration for commercial vehicle development projects.
Flexible Energy Configuration
Evaluate different fuel options and battery capacities to match vehicle requirements, route profiles, and local energy infrastructure.
Designed for Demanding Duty Cycles
Consider range-extended electric drive for longer daily routes, high vehicle utilization, or operations with limited charging opportunities.
Integrated Electric Drive System
Combine an electric traction motor and integrated rear e-axle with the range-extender system for commercial truck development.

Range-Extended Electric Truck Chassis Overview
Jenwyn Tech’s range-extended electric truck chassis platform provides a development foundation for OEMs, truck body manufacturers, and vehicle assemblers. Available in 6T and 8T configurations, it combines electric drive with onboard power generation for logistics applications where longer daily routes or limited charging opportunities are key considerations.
Integrated Range-Extended Powertrain
The platform combines an engine-generator system, traction battery, electric drive, and electronic controls. The generator supplies electricity to support vehicle operation, while the traction motor drives the wheels.
Multiple Fuel Options
The range-extender system supports M100 methanol, with diesel and LNG options also available. Fuel selection can be matched to local availability, operating requirements, and target-market conditions.
Rear Integrated Electric Drive Axle
The integrated rear e-axle combines the traction motor and drive axle into a compact unit, optimizing chassis space for battery packaging and cargo capacity.
Flexible Chassis and Body Integration
The platform supports the development of cargo trucks, refrigerated trucks, and other commercial vehicle applications. Body integration considers mounting interfaces, weight distribution, axle loads, and electrical connections.
Integrated Electrical and Control Systems
The coordinated chassis and powertrain systems help reduce component-level integration work. Electrical interfaces, wiring arrangements, and control requirements can be assessed for each vehicle project.
Applications for the Range-Extended Electric Truck Chassis Platforms
The Jenwyn Tech 6T / 8T range-extended electric truck chassis platforms can be evaluated for commercial logistics applications where daily mileage, vehicle utilization, or charging access may make battery-only operation less practical. The onboard range-extender system provides an additional source of electrical energy during operation. Vehicle suitability depends on the duty cycle, fuel availability, body configuration, and project-specific requirements.
High-Utilization Urban and Suburban Delivery
For parcel delivery, e-commerce distribution, wholesale supply, and supermarket replenishment involving frequent trips or extended operating hours. Onboard power generation may provide greater scheduling flexibility when charging windows are limited.
Configuration considerations: Stop-start duty cycle, daily mileage, operating shifts, depot charging, fuel availability, and operating costs.
Temperature-Controlled Transport
For refrigerated delivery of food, beverages, and other temperature-sensitive goods. The chassis and energy system should account for both traction requirements and the additional energy demand of refrigeration equipment.
Configuration considerations: Insulated body weight, refrigeration power demand, operating temperature, payload, daily route, and total energy consumption.
Regional and Inter-Site Logistics
For cargo transport between warehouses, distribution centers, industrial facilities, and nearby cities. The range-extended architecture is worth evaluating for longer routes where charging stops may affect delivery schedules.
Configuration considerations: Daily mileage, payload, route distance, road gradients, fuel consumption, and refueling access.
Industrial and Customized Applications
For factory logistics, industrial supply routes, and application-specific commercial trucks operating on defined schedules. These use cases can be assessed based on actual vehicle utilization, energy requirements, and the availability of suitable fuel and maintenance support.
Configuration considerations: Operating hours, route profile, body mounting interfaces, axle loads, auxiliary power demand, fuel supply, and local regulations.
