AC motor – Responsive and lively

The AC motor ensures that the truck responds to the slightest command from the driver, while every braking movement generates more current for the battery. This gives the motor maximum efficiency and allows the operator total control of the acceleration and breaking even on ramps.

Compared to present DC system

Test results: • Around 20% higher acceleration torque available in practice • Around 40% higher brake torque available in practice • 50 – 100% longer driving time possible in really tough cycles with respect to critical temperatures • Up to 20% of consumed travel motor current can be generated when braking

AC Power benefits: • Higher travel speed, up to 8.5 MPH • Increased acceleration • Regenerative braking • Superior drive control on ramps • Increased time between services, (500 h) • Lower LCC, (Life Cycle Costs) • Longer operating time between recharge
