The VO.2 type of medium and heavy electric trucks was just introduced by Tresa Motors, an Indian manufacturer. The VO.2 model will be tested for the first-ever Centralized Computing Unit in India and around the world, an Advanced Telemetry System, 800V (peak) modular battery packs with an internal Battery Management System, a new central steering system, internally designed Daytime Running Lights, and the first-ever Heat Pump for all-encompassing cooling requirements, including air conditioning in the cabin.
Tresa is combining numerous Electronic Control Units (ECUs) for different sub-systems with its zonal architecture, in contrast to most modern vehicles, including EVs, which use multiple ECUs for different sub-systems. The majority of the control, AI, and telematics requirements are handled by an NVIDIA GPU-driven Centralized Computing Unit, which powers this design. More than 500 monitoring locations will have their data streamed to the cloud by the telematics system for ongoing performance, efficiency, and safety analytics.
Tresa claims that their VO.2 model is robust, resilient, and dependable for Indian road conditions, and it is developed as an environmentally responsible logistics solution. According to a press release, the company wants to offer a “compelling” cost advantage per mile over conventional diesel trucks.
Tresa Motors founder and CEO Rohan Shravan said, “We are excited to announce the launch of Model VO.2.” VO.2, a key internal release, is based on our “Delta-Engineering” methodology and allows us to test and monitor all of our components while they are in use. Here, as well as with our motor and battery, we believe we can further enhance our heat pump and turn it into our primary intellectual property.
The most recent VO.2 truck has an air-suspended seat that is comfy and has configurable body options, along with a redesigned central steering system. With a maximum torque of 24,000 Nm and a top speed of 120 kmph, this behemoth is impressive. With a 300KWH battery, the VO.2 ensures efficiency while on the run with a 20-minute charge time (10-80% SOC).
The Meg50, the first 800V 50 kWh fully immersed self-contained battery pack module in the world, and the Axial Flux Motor Platform Flux 350 serve as the foundation for Tresa Motors’ futuristic electric trucks. Higher power density, better cooling capabilities, increased efficiency, small size, and flexibility are all provided by the design and engineering of the Flux 350 motor. The IP69 self-contained enclosures that house the Meg50 include integrated active-liquid cooling. Customization is possible with different ranges based on the Meg50 module.
