Partnering on the Path to Zero-Emissions.

TICO Electric Terminal Tractor Prototype

The Volvo Penta electric driveline is an ideal solution for fleet operators interested in reducing carbon footprints and reaching zero-emission targets. With powerful performance, optimized duty cycles, and efficiency in engineering, the Volvo Penta Electric Driveline is a complete EV solution.

Engineered to Optimize Space, Performance, and Battery Life

Fully Optimized

The reduction in total vehicle weight offered through the Volvo Penta system design means faster acceleration, instant torque, improved efficiency, and optimized utilization of energy. The proprietary Active Cooling Unit maintains the temperature to maximize the lifetime and efficiency of the battery.

The power of EV

Electric Machine

The Electric Machine (EM) is a three-phase motor of a permanent magnet type, and it operates directly on the input shaft of the vehicle’s gearbox. Nominal power output is depending on temperature and load.

A fast charge and increased performance

Improved Battery Life

Full battery capacity can be reached in 45 minutes with a 150kW charger. The system is also primed for opportunity charging to ensure the unit is ready for action during breaks.

A real-time service management platform

Uptime Ensured

The safety of the crews and all those involved in an operation takes top priority. With the RTX’s extremely high stability and active safety assistance systems, you can be sure to have safe operations time and time again.

Maximizing battery lifetime and efficiency

Active Cooling Unit (ACU)

The system includes a proprietary Active Cooling Unit designed by Volvo Penta to maintain the temperature at optimal levels and maximize the lifetime and efficiency of the battery. Integrated Battery Monitoring Uptime is secured through an integrated battery monitoring service that allows for real-time status updates on the health of the driveline. Proactive maintenance, improved operational efficiency, valuable performance insight, and streamlined support from dealerships are just some of the benefits of this technology.

Designed with the operator in mind

Operator Comfort and Drivability

The Volvo Penta-powered TICO Pro-Spotter was designed with the operator in mind. From the roomiest cab in the industry to the Volvo Group two-speed gearbox offering seamless and silent shifting between gears, operators will experience enhanced comfort and a better driving experience. Regenerative braking is also supported to provide efficient energy regain and further improve drivability

Engineered for Total Optimization

Optimally sized dual battery packs are strategically placed between the chassis rails, protecting the units from potential damage within a harsh working environment. Energy density is maximized by only using two battery packs. The reduction in total vehicle weight offered through this design means faster acceleration, instant torque, improved efficiency, and optimized utilization of energy. With all components concisely packaged, accessibility is easy, and maintenance is simplified for both operators and technicians.

The compact, high-energy battery pack is based on a platform that is built to seamlessly transform as energy technology evolves. The design will support the incorporation of even higher energy content levels, all while keeping the same dimensions and eliminating the need for re-engineering.Integrated Safety Features High voltage interlock loop (HVIL) and isolation monitoring are integrated to provide protection to operators.
