Part of the Viritech Powertrain family and the culmination of a number of years of research and development by Viritech, the VPT60N Powertrain combines the array of Viritech powertrain products and enabling technologies into a complete powertrain solution for OEMs, Tier-1’s and Research Bodies allowing for the rapid deployment of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles.
The powertrain includes:
- 60kW Fuel Cell with Balance of Plant and Boost DC/DC Power Converter.
- 16kWh 400V Battery Energy Store with Battery Management System and Cooling Components.
- Combined e-machine, inverter and final drive unit with up to 200kW peak power and 4100Nm Axle Torque
- 6Kg 350bar Hydrogen Storage System with Pressure Regulation and SAE Compliant Fill System
- Full Function Vehicle Control Unit with Tri-Volt™ energy management, which manages all aspects of the powertrain, including HVIL and related safety systems.
Both the battery energy store and hydrogen storage are available in bespoke form factors to aid packaging on vehicle with a standardized option for both available to minimize lead-times. The Powertrain is delivered with all systems integration between powertrain components completed and the VCU preconfigured for system start-up within the vehicle.
The Powertrain is offered in a non-homologated form for prototype and development vehicle use, with Viritech’s engineering division able to support vehicle integration and development (including HMI and functional safety case) to achieve a fully homologated end vehicle.
