“Whether it’s our Hybrid system or our fully electric
powertrain, Hyliion’s solutions are designed to give customers the
greatest flexibility as they transition to electrified
transportation,” said Thomas Healy, founder and CEO of Hyliion.
“The development of this next generation battery module represents
a key milestone in the Hybrid commercialization process, further
strengthening our overall technology platform as we innovate future
solutions.”
Leveraging previous battery experience and incorporating
enhancements for improved battery cooling, the new module delivers
multiple benefits tied to performance and allows for more than a 40
percent improvement in cooling compared to the previous system. Key
benefits include:
- Longer Life – Hyliion’s improved battery module is
capable of up to 5 times as much cycle life than a conventional EV
battery.
- Higher Charging Rates – Improved heat dissipation allows
for higher charge and discharge rates of the battery and longer
sustained power output.
- Speed – The battery can be recharged in under 8 minutes,
an unprecedented charge time compared to other EV battery
solutions.
- Safety –The new module design reduces the operating
temperature of the cells allowing for a safer operating
environment.
The design has already passed UN 38.3 battery testing procedures
and offers improvements to withstand the stresses and rigors
incurred on the road.
Hyliion’s Hybrid system can be installed on most major Class 8
commercial vehicles to help reduce fuel usage, decrease greenhouse
gas emissions, improve performance, and reduce operating costs. The
Hybrid system is already in service across North America including
deployments with industry leading transportation and logistics
fleets.
The Hybrid solution is one of Hyliion’s two electrified
powertrain systems for long-haul Class 8 commercial vehicles that
also includes the Hypertruck ERX. Hyliion’s electrified powertrain
solutions utilize proprietary battery and software systems,
combined with electric motors and power electronics, to produce an
electrified powertrain platform that can be used to either augment,
in the case of the Hybrid system, or fully replace, in the case of
the Hypertruck ERX, traditional diesel or compressed natural gas
(CNG) powertrains and improve their performance. Hyliion solutions
are designed to be fuel agnostic, giving customers the greatest
flexibility to choose vehicles that best fit their overall strategy
in their transition to electrified transportation.
