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.”
