Freightliner, Enova To Collaborate On All-Electric Delivery Van

Freightliner Custom Chassis Corp and Enova Systems announced that they have jointly executed a letter of intent to enter into an all-electric commercial chassis development program.

The development program will involve the engineering and integration of Enova’s 120 kW and 90 kW all-electric drive system technologies into target FCCC chassis platforms, including the MT-45 walk-in van chassis. Freightliner’s highest volume MT-45 chassis is used by a range of customers including UPS and Federal Express.

The strategic agreement consists of four phases that include the development of at least four vehicles and placement into national fleets. Design, engineering, integration, and testing activities will be conducted at the Freightliner Custom Chassis plant in Gaffney, S.C., and the Enova facility in Torrance, Calif.
