Linamar Corporation completed a major Electrified Mobility R&D project - a fully functioning BEV full-size pickup truck showcasing Linamar electrified vehicle technologies. The technology demonstrator is based off a 2500 pickup platform.

"Linamar has an extensive portfolio of products within its eLIN electrification group that OEM customers can integrate into their new EV platforms,” says Linda Hasenfratz, Linamar's Executive Chair and CEO. “Now, we can showcase our technology fully integrated into a functioning EV demonstration truck. Over the coming weeks and months customers will be able to get inside, go for a test drive and see firsthand how our innovative solutions can help them electrify their next EV project. The truck will be on full display this week at ACT Expo, it’s an incredibly exciting project brought from concept to reality by our eLIN Product Solutions Group."

The Technology Demonstrator Truck is equipped with front and rear eUD10 Beam eAxles, one of several eAxle designs with Linamar's eLIN portfolio offering that covers vehicle classes 1 through 6. With the combined eAxles, the demonstrator truck creates 4WD capability delivering over 15,200 Nm of peak torque and 750 kW peak power. The vehicle is also equipped with the eBrickTM Battery Pack, a system designed by eMatrix Custom Battery Systems, a company Linamar owns a strategic, minority stake in.

Linamar also has the newest generation eMatrix Battery Pack design, its FlexForm hydrogen storage tank for fuel cell applications, and the second generation of its eMD15 Beam eAxle as well as a host of other Electrified Mobility & CV Truck capabilities.
