However, electrification is changing that, and the latest demonstrator from defence supplier BAE Systems is co-developed with powertrain specialist Eaton for heavy-duty commercial trucks. The platform, detailed on page 18, reduces the number of components, cables and connections, saving space and weight on the vehicle, while simplifying the integration process and improving reliability with lower overall cost – not what you might expect from a defence contractor. Rugged electrification is also key for agriculture, as revealed when we discussed the evolution of the technology with Kent Wanner, principal electrification engineer at John Deere (page 14). The push to reduce costs and improve reliability were on display at The Battery Show North America, as reported on page 38, and the same fundamentals are key drivers for the testing of the electric motors used in EVs, as shown in the focus article on page 30, with a new in-motor sensing architecture and algorithm to enable predictive maintenance while cutting the bill of materials in half. All of this is part of the continuing development of electrification as the industry matures into the mainstream with improved efficiency and lower costs, whether from established automotive suppliers or from a more unexpected direction.
