Control strategy is as important as hardware in commercial vehicle electrification.

Over the past 10 years, our heavy-duty e-axle control algorithms have been continuously optimized through different vehicle platforms and operating conditions, covering a wide range of commercial vehicle applications.

The system includes multiple safety and drivability functions, including:

● EASR
● IESS
● DABS

These functions help improve traction control, vehicle stability, and overall driving performance under complex commercial vehicle duty cycles.

For heavy-duty applications, software calibration and control strategy often make a significant difference in how the vehicle behaves in real-world operation.

Truck electrification is moving past its "commodity" phase. While early market entries relied on general-purpose platforms, the reality of commercial operation is far more demanding. Because electric trucks, from LCVs to HCVs, are inherently sensitive to range and energy constraints, the diversity of trucking applications makes deep customization a necessity, not a luxury.

So, how does the industry move toward true product customization? It seems to come down to three critical technical pillars:

1️⃣ Precision Battery Sizing

The "one-size-fits-all" approach to traction batteries often compromises either payload or TCO. If a duty cycle is stable, the battery configuration should be fine-tuned based on actual road load data, energy consumption patterns, and the specific charging infrastructure available. Right-sizing is the only way to ensure commercial viability.

2️⃣ Powertrain Mapping and Software Calibration

A motor's rated vs. peak power and torque curves serve vastly different operational purposes. Matching these parameters to a specific route, load profile, and average speed isn't just a hardware choice; it's a software challenge. We need to move toward more precise MCU calibration that aligns with the powertrain's "digital soul"
with the physical reality of the road.

3️⃣ Regional and Human-Centric Adaptation

Customization must also account for the environment and the operator. Thermal management systems (BTMS) need to be optimized for specific regional climates, while cabin configurations and smart features should reflect local driver habits and ergonomic preferences.

At this stage of the industry's maturity, customization is no longer about adding "features." It’s about scenario-driven engineering. The goal is to ensure that the vehicle isn't just electric, but is the most efficient tool possible for its specific mission.

For many OEMs and EV builders, the transition from prototype to mass production is where the real engineering challenges begin. It’s no longer just about making a truck move; it’s about ensuring that the drivetrain can withstand years of rigorous duty cycles while maintaining a predictable Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

This is why we focus on electric drive axle solutions that are already SOP and production-proven. The e-axle shown here, installed on a heavy-duty platform, is part of a centralized architecture that currently supports heavy-duty applications.

Why a production-proven platform matters:

✅ Reliability at Scale:
Moving beyond pilot projects requires components that have already survived millions of kilometers of real-world deployment. Our integrated e-axle architecture is designed for high stability under the demanding conditions typical of heavy-duty freight.

✅ Architectural Flexibility:
While the core platform is standardized, we understand that every OEM has unique chassis requirements. This centralized layout allows for easier integration across different truck platforms without a complete redesign of the vehicle's structural DNA.

✅ Efficiency & Weight Optimization:
By focusing on system integration, we’ve reduced redundant mechanical interfaces. This not only lowers the overall weight but improves drivetrain efficiency, a critical factor when every kWh counts for range and payload.

The Integration Reality:

We know that for a professional engineering team, the hardware is only half the battle. A high-performance e-axle requires precise coordination between the motor, transmission, and the vehicle’s VCU.

We don't offer "turnkey kits" because we respect the complexity of your vehicle's software architecture. Instead, we provide a robust, mass-produced hardware platform backed by the deep-level software support your team needs to ensure seamless system communication and optimal performance.

If you are looking to scale your truck platform from a concept to a reliable fleet asset, let’s talk about the integration of production-ready axle solutions.

A closer look at one of our multi-speed e-axle platforms for commercial vehicle applications.

This centralized electric drive axle adopts a parallel-shaft transmission combined with a shiftable planetary gear set, enabling a compact 4-speed configuration with an overall ratio range from 10.2 to 71.0.

Compared with simpler single-speed layouts, the wider ratio coverage helps the drivetrain better balance:

● Loaded launch capability
● Gradeability
● Low-speed maneuvering
● Cruising efficiency across mixed duty cycles

The gearbox architecture is also designed to keep the motor operating more frequently within its high-efficiency range under varying operating conditions.

From an integration perspective, the system additionally supports:
● PTO functionality
● Hydraulic pump output
● Differential lock integration

This makes the platform suitable for a range of commercial vehicle applications, including regional haul, construction logistics, and mixed-duty operations where both traction performance and auxiliary functionality are important.

👇 A look at several of our onboard charging solutions for EV applications.

Our integrated OBC, DC/DC, and PDU systems are developed for a wide range of vehicle platforms, covering passenger vehicles as well as commercial vehicle applications such as logistics vans, buses, sanitation trucks, minibuses, pickups, and street sweepers.

The platform currently covers charging power from 3.3 kW to 20 kW, including solutions for 800 V high-voltage architectures.

From a vehicle integration perspective, combining OBC, DC/DC, and PDU into a more compact system helps simplify wiring layout, reduce packaging complexity, and improve overall power density.

Different vehicle platforms naturally come with different operating requirements, so the focus is not only on charging capability itself, but also on system efficiency, thermal performance, reliability, and integration flexibility.

As EV platforms continue evolving toward higher voltage and more compact architectures, integrated power electronics are becoming increasingly important at the vehicle system level.

For heavy-duty and vocational truck electrification, the challenge is often not peak power alone, but how to deliver torque smoothly and efficiently across very different operating conditions.

Our e-powertrain solution combines high-torque traction motors with 2-speed or 4-speed AMT transmissions, helping vehicles maintain both low-speed pulling capability and efficient cruising performance under load.

Compared with single-speed architectures, the multi-speed setup allows better torque distribution across different speed ranges, improving:

● loaded launch performance
● gradeability
● low-pseed maneuverability
● highway efficiency

Shift control is also optimized to reduce driveline interruption during gear changes, helping improve overall drivability under real working conditions.

For vocational truck applications, PTO functionality can also be integrated directly into the e-powertrain system to support auxiliary equipment while simplifying overall vehicle layout.

The system has undergone durability validation and road testing under representative operating conditions to verify long-term stability and reliability.

🔋 Another lesson learned from a commercial vehicle battery project.

During testing on a customer vehicle, one battery pack was partially damaged after an external impact and could no longer remain in service. To get the vehicle back on the road quickly, the idea was raised to replace the damaged pack with another pack of the same model from inventory or another vehicle.

Our battery engineering team explained that for commercial vehicle battery systems, pack replacement is not simply a matter of matching model numbers or specifications. Parameters such as cell capacity consistency, pack voltage, SOC, aging condition, and historical usage all need to be evaluated together before replacement decisions are made.

Due to project timing pressure, replacement was eventually carried out directly using another battery pack without a full technical assessment.

After a period of operation, the vehicle developed a significant battery imbalance at the system level, which later became difficult to recover through normal calibration.

📌 Cases like this highlight an important aspect of battery system integration: consistency management is just as critical as the hardware itself. Even when packs appear identical on paper, differences in aging, operating history, and state conditions can gradually affect overall system stability.

It also reinforces the importance of standardized service procedures and technical training during vehicle operation and maintenance, especially for commercial vehicle electrification projects operating in real-world fleet conditions.

One recent project reminded us again that for commercial vehicle electrification, the real challenge is often not the hardware itself, but whether the duty cycle and vehicle application are correctly defined from the beginning.

In this case, our heavy-duty truck e-axle was integrated into a bus platform. The vehicle operated mainly on rough and hilly roads, with frequent hard acceleration and braking. These conditions generated repeated high-impact loads, eventually leading to motor fault alarms and vehicle power limitation.

Our engineering team became deeply involved in the investigation process. We followed the actual vehicle routes on-site, collected road spectrum data, and analyzed the real operating conditions instead of relying only on the original vehicle specifications.

Based on the findings, the control strategy was optimized to reduce torque spikes during sudden acceleration and deceleration, smoothing impact loads under harsh operating conditions. The motor control software was then updated and validated on the fault vehicles, after which the solution was rolled out to resolve the issue across the fleet.

What made this case particularly interesting was that the direct issue was not component capability. The e-axle itself had originally been developed for heavy-duty truck applications. The real problem was that the actual vehicle application and operating conditions differed significantly from the original integration assumptions.

📌The project also reinforced an important point for EV integration projects: accurate vehicle information, duty cycle definition, and operating environment data are critical for system matching and control strategy development.

In commercial vehicle electrification, real-world operating conditions always matter more than paper specifications.

Three-piece e-axle housings are often discussed for flexibility and manufacturing convenience. But under heavy-duty, high-load conditions, the limitations become quite clear. 👇

When axle load goes beyond ~13 tons, the fl**ge-connected housing starts to show fundamental weaknesses:

1️⃣ Reduced structural stiffness

Bolt preload relaxes under cyclic loading, leading to a measurable loss in overall housing rigidity

2️⃣ Stress concentration at fl**ge interfaces

Local stress peaks can reach ~420 MPa, significantly higher than integrated housings (~280-290 MPa)

3️⃣ Fatigue and sealing risks increase rapidly

Micro-movements at the fl**ge accelerate wear, leading to earlier crack initiation and higher leakage risk over time

At the same time, deformation under load begins to affect transmission behavior:

● Gear alignment deviation under load
● Transmission error increases multiple times compared to no-load conditions
● Noticeable NVH deterioration in high-speed operation

From a system perspective, these effects are coupled: structure, transmission, and sealing all interact.

In contrast, integrated axle housings show a much more stable behavior under the same load level:

● Lower stress concentration
● Longer fatigue life
● More consistent sealing performance

That's why for heavy-duty applications, especially in demanding and unpredictable operating conditions, structure matters more than theoretical flexibility.

In the end, heavy-duty transport is less about pushing limits and more about how the system holds up after millions of load cycles.

At Brogen, our heavy-duty e-axle platform adopts an integrated housing design, with a load capacity of 16T, developed specifically for these scenarios.

At the recently concluded Beijing International Automotive Exhibition 2026, one shift stood out more than any vehicle launch.

For the first time, battery manufacturers were exhibiting alongside OEMs in the same halls. That's more than just a layout change; it reflects how the center of gravity in the industry is evolving.

One clear direction from this year's show: ultra-fast charging is becoming the next battleground.

What used to be 4C is now moving toward 5C, 10C, and beyond, and this will directly influence platform decisions for commercial vehicles over the next few years.

A few highlights 👇

📌 CATL

Their latest generation ultra-fast charging battery drew a lot of attention.

● Up to ~10C charging (peak even higher)
● 10% to 98% SOC in just over 6 minutes
● Around 9 minutes charging even at -30°C

For commercial vehicles operating in cold regions, low-temperature performance is particularly relevant.

They are also pushing a combined fast-charging + battery swapping network, aiming to support both short-haul high-frequency operations and long-haul transport.

📌 BYD

BYD is taking a different approach with its fast-charging strategy.

● 10% to 70% SOC in about 5 minutes
● Near-normal charging performance even at -30°C
● Focus on building a large-scale ultra-fast charging network

Compared to CATL's hybrid model (swap + charge), BYD is going all-in on fast charging infrastructure.

📌 Challenge

Faster charging means higher stress on the battery, especially in terms of lithium plating and thermal risks.

How these systems perform over time, especially degradation under real fleet operation, is something the industry still needs to validate at scale.

It's a fast-moving space, and the next 2-3 years will likely define which technical routes actually hold up in real-world use.
