The Hyliion 6X4HE’s modular design allows for easy installation and simple servicing. Brand- and engine-agnostic, the 6X4HE can be installed on any Class 8 vehicle from any manufacturer. Components include:

  • The battery pack;

  • control unit;

  • thermal management system;

  • electric axle (up to 1,500 lb-ft (2,000 N·m) and 115 hp);

  • co-pilot display, allowing the driver to monitor the 6X4HE; and

  • an aerodyanmics package to reduce air resistance at speed, with up to 3% fuel and emissions savings.
