Garrett Motion Inc. (NYSE: GTX) and China National Heavy Duty Truck
Group Co., Ltd. (SinoTruk) signed a Letter of Intent (LoI) to
enhance cooperation in advanced technologies for electric
commercial vehicles, aiming to jointly develop leading
next-generation E-powertrain for application in SinoTruk's product
portfolio, with the aim of joining forces to start mass production
of trucks equipped with this next gen E-powertrain by 2027.
Nils Martens, VP & GM Electric Powertrain of
Garrett, and Li Xuefeng, Director of New Energy Business, Chairman
of New Energy Commercial Vehicle at SinoTruk Group, signed the
LoI
Under this alliance, the two companies will
advance Proof of Concepts (PoCs) for e-powertrain systems in both
light and heavy trucks, with a focus on energy efficiency and
simplified vehicle integration. The projects aim to expand the
adoption of zero-emission technologies in the commercial vehicle
market, particularly in China.
Olivier Rabiller, CEO of Garrett said:
“Garrett's capability to handle high-speed electric motors allows
us to design significantly smaller and lighter electrified
powertrains while maintaining leading energy efficiency. It allows
for easier packaging, higher power and torque, and less material
usage. This partnership with SinoTruk will accelerate the
development of high-speed solutions that not only improve vehicle
performance, but also contribute to global emission reduction
goals, with E-trucks on the road by 2027. This will be an industry
first: setting a new standard for power density!”
“This collaboration marks a significant
milestone in our efforts to bring cutting-edge, zero-emission
solutions to the commercial vehicle sector,” said Mr. Wang Chen,
President of SinoTruk. “This partnership will help to advance our
innovation leadership in the truck industry. We will complement
Garrett’s high-speed E-drive with our high-speed transmission
expertise and integrate into the best-in-class beam-axle. We look
forward to working closely with Garrett to deliver breakthrough
technologies that combine both performance and cost benefits for
our fleet customers.”
