Join us as we navigate through electric axle technology, explore semi-truck axle manufacturing, and share insights on electric vehicle towing solutions. We also delve into the exciting possibilities of independent front steering on semi-trucks and the potential of Caterpillar and Perkins engines.
Our trip wasn't just about business; it was an eye-opening experience into the local culture and business practices in China. From navigating language barriers with Google Translate to impromptu meetings and making connections, this journey was filled with learning and surprises.
Stick around till the end to hear our thoughts on the future of electric vehicles and our plans moving forward. We managed to pack a lot into this trip, and we can't wait to share it all with you!

Its that attitude towards business that gives China a competitive edge. They will try so hard to get a sale. This is compared to north America where as a small OEM it's like pulling teeth to be able to buy stuff. We need to change our business attitude in N. America where the big company's start trying to earn the sales from the small businesses again.

@@jackass123455 Not just them, any truck that is potentially traction limited will benefit from the extra 10-20% tractive force*. When they're running "bob tail" the front axle could be adding 50%, or more, which can make a big difference when pushing through soft, slippery ground. I'm thinking of the Aussie road trains, as they operate a lot on loose ground, sand, and gravel, and when you're hauling 100+ tons, even a modest 'jump up' can cause issues with not quite the drive needed from the rear axles.

the powered axle on a Log trailer would be a total game changer, especially for a self loader, cause we're always getting called into some janky back yard with no road... little bit of push from the trailer would make life soooo much easier. be better if it say was made with smaller drive motor, to save weight, and you really don't need massive power on the trailer, just a wee bit of assistance does wonders. A lift axle with independent drive motors, would be super skookum easy addition to a traditional diesel truck too... small set a batteries, you could just use it for cruising speeds or a boost on hills etc.

there is not really a need to. 1/2 usually have independent front ends with a differential right in the middle. Just replace the differential with small electric motor. In a Semi you have the engine hanging low in the middle where it's had to place an differential. The front end does not need a lot of power - might get away with just flanch a electric motor to an existing differential in the space where the small drive shaft from the transferase usually would sit.

In the past Chrysler attempted a jet engine car and it failed due to the costs and idling issues but with a electric you can make the jet run at the same speed continuously I believe its a really good idea now especially if you guys pull a ford and target lower middle class americans.

Just something to think about when building off road units , branch or log pops up and takes out an important component. I have had a large branch pop up and take out a brake line on me before.

Bummed that we've shipped that manufacturing base to China from North America

Did your truck have in standard 3phase high amperage outlet? You have high power inverter for motors just one contactor more and switch inverter from motor to power outlet. If that will be possible maybe that inverter (or more together) could work as DC-DC converter and your truck would become emergency mobile LEVEL 4 fast charger.
