Danfoss Power Solutions has announced its Editrondivision has signed a strategic collaboration agreement with Proterra. The partnership pairs Editron’s electric powertrain components with Proterra’s heavy-duty battery technology for customers in North America, offering heavy-duty and specialty vehicle OEMs pre-validated and tested solutions that aim to simplify the electrification journey.
In this collaboration, Danfoss Editron and Proterra have tested their respective powertrain components and battery solutions, giving OEMs a pre-validated foundation on which to build. This removes much of the guesswork, engineering risk, and long timelines historically associated with sourcing and integrating electrification components from multiple suppliers.
The pairing of Danfoss Editron's powertrain components — including electric motors and converters — with Proterra's battery solutions offers OEMs access to a solution built for the tough environments and demanding duty cycles typical of heavy-duty transportation and equipment applications. The move is designed to help OEMs move faster and with greater confidence, reducing the complexity of evaluating, sourcing, and integrating components from separate suppliers.
