Progressive Concept Heavy-Duty Hybrid Truck Powered by Remy Motor

The vehicle, called the Metropolis, will use Remy's HVH410 electric traction motor and generator, a customizable assembly that is proven to have the highest efficiency and most power density available, according to the company.

PENDLETON, Ind. – Remy International has announced completion of a project with Benteler Engineering to develop a progressive concept heavy-duty hybrid truck for MAN.  
 
The vehicle, called the Metropolis, will use Remy’s HVH410 electric traction motor and generator, a customizable assembly that is proven to have the highest efficiency and most power density available, according to the company.
 
MAN, one of Europe’s leaders in transport-related engineering, enlisted Benteler as the system integrator for the Metropolis, which will be presented at the IAA 2012 Commercial Vehicles Motor Show, Sept. 20 – 27, in Hannover, Germany. The Metropolis is capable of performing heavy-duty transport tasks, such as refuse collection, without emissions and almost completely without noise. A lithium-ion battery drives the HVH410 electric motor, with additional power and range extension supplied by an efficient diesel engine and HVH410 generator.
 
"Our HVH410 motors are the perfect fit in this application," said Kevin Quinn, Remy Electric Motors vice president/general manager. "The motors deliver tremendous power and torque, which is what you need in heavy-duty trucks. It is also quiet, which is especially important in urban environments. Partnering with Benteler Engineering is a great opportunity for us to show how Remy electric motors can help meet the growing worldwide demand for sustainable urban vehicles."  
 
John Weber, president and CEO of Remy International, added, "It’s great to see that Benteler, MAN and many other hybrid developers and manufacturers are choosing our electric motors. They want the best, and they turn to Remy. That is a powerful endorsement of our products and our commitment to the global hybrid market."
