Complete your electric powertrain with PCAS 3.0

PCAS 3.0 is a key building block for electric commercial class vehicles that works in tandem with a battery or fuel cell energy storage system and electric axle or central drive system. By integrating and managing key powertrain components, it ensures your electric vehicles operate at their best.

Integrated design

Combines 12 major components into one product, simplifying vehicle design and reducing the need for separate installations

Simplified supply chain

Sourcing a single integrated system can simplify the supply chain and reduce the number of suppliers

Easier maintenance

Integrated design reduces maintenance complexity and costs, with easy access to serviceable components without unit removal

Space efficiency

Compact packaging pulls components into a singular location for optimized space utilization

Weight optimization

Weighs approximately 559 lbs., lighter than the combined weight of individual components, improving vehicle efficiency and payload capacity

Enhanced reliability + safety

Eliminates failure points of high voltage cables, cooling cables and harness rub points, reducing electrical emission and susceptibility to electromagnetic interference
