Federal-Mogul Powertrain is displaying the new strategy at this year’s IAA Commercial Vehicles show

Federal-Mogul Powertrain is launching its new electrification strategy for medium- and heavy-duty vehicles at this year's IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Hanover, Germany (19 - 27 September, Hall 13, Stand C30). Developed by its Controlled Power Technologies product group, the company is displaying a cost-effective, fully scalable, modular approach that can be optimized for the unique demands of each commercial vehicle segment and application. The technology portfolio can be individually customized and integrated to meet the specific needs of engine manufacturers to economically meet their emission and efficiency targets.

"One of the key questions that motivates us at Federal-Mogul is how we can improve fuel economy and CO2 emissions in commercial vehicles by harvesting waste energy, including both vehicle kinetic energy that is lost during braking and exhaust gas energy. Our solution must include how to then store it efficiently and return it to do useful work," said Gian Maria Olivetti, Chief Technology Officer, Federal-Mogul Powertrain. "Electrification can provide an attractive answer, but for medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles the most efficient way to achieve this is very different to that for passenger cars, so attempting to adapt traction-focused technologies can lead to solutions that are far from ideal," said Nick Pascoe, Managing Director of Federal-Mogul Controlled Power Ltd.
