Motiv Power Systems has announced new field test results on its next-generation technology that's said to redefine range and payload limits for daily-use commercial fleet vehicles.
A Motiv medium-duty electric truck has managed to cover more than 150 miles in field testing while hauling a 3-ton payload. That's a range that exceeds commonly available medium-duty EV technology, according to Motiv.
In the test, the medium-duty electric vehicle hauling 6,000 pounds of payload traveled the 150-mile drive south from San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge to the Bixby Bridge in Monterey. Motiv also conducted a second field test on public roads in both city and highway traffic conditions in a vehicle hauling the daily payload typical for Motiv’s commercial customers.
