Battery mobility for industrial fleets – efficient drive systems for commercial vehicles
The global transition towards emission-free mobility is accelerating, with battery electric drives playing a pivotal role. These enable localized CO₂-free operation, reduce noise and particulate emissions, and offer an economical solution for inner-city applications due to their high energy efficiency. Battery systems represent a potent and cost-effective alternative to fossil-fuel drives, particularly in the municipal sector, for factory traffic, or on predictable short and medium-haul routes.
Hydrogen-based drive systems often present a superior choice for applications with higher energy demands – such as long-haul transportation, heavy commercial vehicles, or continuous operation. They offer compelling advantages including rapid refueling times, extended ranges, and minimal downtimes, especially in areas lacking charging infrastructure or where battery capacities are limiting.
Hexagon Purus provides both technologies from a single source: battery systems boasting high gravimetric and volumetric energy density, as well as modular hydrogen solutions built upon robust hydrogen high-pressure Type IV cylinder. Furthermore, the company facilitates hybrid platform solutions that integrate battery and fuel cell technology – ideal for fluctuating application profiles, maximum range, and optimal flexibility in commercial operation. Consequently, Hexagon Purus establishes the technological foundation for an emission-free, future-proof fleet.
The transition to battery-powered mobility
For fleet operators and industrial users, transitioning to battery-powered vehicles offers not only environmental advantages but also economic incentives: decreased maintenance expenses, reduced energy costs, and an enhanced environmental profile for customers and regulatory bodies. Hexagon Purus's battery systems have been specifically engineered to meet these demands – their high energy density, modular design, and compact construction enable maximum payload capacity with extended range and rapid charging capability.
Nevertheless, challenges persist: the range of battery-electric commercial vehicles is significantly influenced by load, topography, and ambient temperature. Furthermore, the charging infrastructure, particularly for heavy goods vehicles, is not yet universally available.
Hexagon Purus addresses these challenges with innovative rapid charging capabilities, intelligent energy management systems, and high-performance battery systems specifically tailored to the requirements of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles. This positions battery-electric mobility as a sustainable solution for commercial applications as well.
Intelligent battery systems for the electrification of the commercial vehicle sector
Hexagon Purus is spearheading the electrification of commercial vehicles with high-performance battery systems specifically engineered for medium- and heavy-duty applications. A key advantage lies in the combination of high gravimetric and volumetric energy density with a compact, modular design. The optimized modular architecture, featuring integrated cooling, enables efficient energy utilization – minimizing space and weight requirements. For fleet operators, this translates to extended ranges, increased payload capacity, and improved vehicle utilization.
A unique technical attribute is the patented wrap-around design, where the battery packs are strategically positioned around the longitudinal frame members of the vehicle to conserve space. This design maximizes the utilization of available installation space and simplifies integration. The maintenance-friendly design offers both vehicle manufacturers and operators a high degree of flexibility with reduced conversion costs.
Battery systems key features
Savings through simplicity – Fewer moving parts, and a focus on simple serviceability yield significantly lower maintenance costs
Smart charging capabilities – High Power DC fast charge when you need it and lower power (battery-life improving) charging when you can charge over night
Compact design - Our compact design means customers have more options – shortest wheelbase offering in the industry, most flexibility with body options
Clean and quiet – Zero emissions, and quiet: Perfect for urban and port applications
Intelligent battery systems for the electrification of the commercial vehicle sector
Beyond the battery packs, the complete system solution also incorporates the power and accessory modules from Hexagon Purus. These components manage the intelligent distribution of electrical energy within the vehicle – powering auxiliary units, heating, cooling, or lighting, for example. Their comprehensive integration optimizes energy flow, ensuring stable and efficient overall vehicle operation.
The system further supports both high-power DC rapid charging for minimized downtime and gradual overnight charging to prolong battery lifespan. This dual charging capability provides maximum operational flexibility – a crucial advantage for companies with tight schedules and demanding daily workloads. With this comprehensive solution, Hexagon Purus not only delivers advanced technology but also practical solutions to the challenges of an emission-free mobility future.
