ALTDRIVE – The Battery Electric Powertrain Built for Heavy Equipment
The success of any Electric Vehicle depends largely on its battery. Battery Electric applications that demand more distance, more power, and longer life require a technology that can deliver on all these promises. The ALTDRIVE Li-Ion battery meets these needs with the highest energy density (Largest fuel tank) & cycle life (Longest component life) ratio on the market. See “How to choose the best Li-ion battery” to learn more about the differences in Li-Ion Technology.
Travel farther, with higher power output, and for years longer than any other battery electric powertrain on the marketplace.
THE ALTDRIVE SYSTEM
The ALTDRIVE battery electric powertrain can be supplied as a TURNKEY solution or as an ASSISTED INTEGRATION with the help of our Engineers.

Either way the heavy lifting is done and verified and you only need to adapt the powertrain to your piece of heavy equipment.
ALTDRIVE VEHICLE CONTROL
The ALTDRIVE VMU is the main management unit of a Hybrid or 100% Electric vehicle. It interacts with the traction system and the other components integrated into the architecture of the vehicle.
This controller reads and interprets driver inputs (pedals, drive selector, buttons, etc.) to command the traction system. Its smooth command transitions ensure driving comfort.
Some of the controller-specific functionalities include:
Proven torque management algorithms
Powerful embedded diagnosis features
Traction battery management
Redundancy and fault detection
Thermal management control
Extensive peripheral monitoring
Vehicle and charging safety interlocks
Instrument cluster management
CAN communication with BMS
ENGINEERED THERMAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Li-Ion Batteries operate optimally at 25 Deg C. Our TMS cools and heats the batteries so they can operate at their optimal temperature.

A verified thermal management system designed and delivered by the ALTDRIVE team allows a vehicle to operate in any condition (Not just sunny California). This includes working in harsh environments like underground mining, construction projects at altitude or commercial trucks operating in the snowy north.
INDUSTRIAL LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
- Specially designed for defense & aerospace application
- This hybrid type cell has incorporated the advantages of NMC and LTO cells in one cell. It is suitable for extremely volatile and dynamic operational conditions. The high power, energy and safety features allow the NANO cells to be flexibly applied in various applications.
- Extremely Safe: A thermal runaway event is significantly less likely to occur in LTO cells. LTO cells can also be re-operated after an event of an over-discharge. This feature enables the user to operate the battery cells under extreme environmental and operational conditions.
- Modular and Scaleable system to meet any industrial application.
CERTIFIED POWER ELECTRONICS
Much of the technology for electric vehicles is still in its infancy so its important that you choose your product partners wisely. Much of the off-shore product that we see arriving in this industry is still being tested and many times do not meet State and Country specific regulations for on-highway use.

We partnered with the leaders in e-mobility power electronics and use only certified and tested equipment with thousands of hours of bench and field testing.
700 VDC FAST CHARGERS
- Mounting a charger on the vehicle eliminates the need to strategically locate a stationary station. Special charging infrastructure is therefore not needed.
- The charger is largely adaptable to any machine and application. Mobile chargers Truly allow for opportunity charging anywhere.
- Modularity allows you to customize charge times from 1 hr to as fast as 15 mins.
