What are the Benefits of Electrifying Fleets?
Electrifying fleets, or replacing traditional fossil fuel vehicles with electric vehicles, can provide a range of benefits. Here are some of the key advantages of electrifying fleets:
- Reduced Carbon Emissions: Electric fleet vehicles produce zero tailpipe emissions, which means that electrifying fleets can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality.
- Lower Operating Costs: EV fleet vehicles have lower fuel and maintenance costs compared to traditional fossil fuel vehicles.
- Increased Energy Security: Electrifying fleets can help to increase energy security by reducing dependence on imported oil and other fossil fuels.
- Improved Performance: EVs have instant torque and smoother acceleration compared to traditional fossil fuel vehicles, which can provide a more comfortable and responsive driving experience.
- Enhanced Brand Image: Electrifying fleets can help to enhance the brand image of companies and organizations by demonstrating a commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Electric fleets can provide a range of benefits that help to improve environmental sustainability, reduce operating costs, and enhance performance.

e-Truck Applications
From buses to delivery vehicles to heavy-duty trucks, the functionality of the battery, motor, and charging system is of utmost importance. Having tailored solutions that equip EV Fleet OEMs with an efficient, safe, and high-performing powertrain is what we do best. Reach out to us today to discuss the right solutions for your fleet application.
Battery Packs
As battery technology evolves towards increased energy density, the ability to manage heat during charge and discharge cycles is crucial for optimizing performance. Our CoolTherm thermal management materials are fully customizable and compatible with cylindrical, pouch and prismatic battery cells.
Charging Systems
Output performance, not heat - CoolTherm gap fillers and encapsulants improve proper heat flow in inductors and transformers, optimizing performance during charging and increasing product longevity. Since our encapsulants have a low viscosity, they flow easily into the tiniest crevices, enabling better impregnation of irregularly-shaped magnetic components and helping to reduce inductor hum.
Electric Motors
Thermally-conductive epoxy and silicone encapsulants help manage heat,which enables you to increase the power density and life of your electric motor. Our studies have shown a temperature decrease of up to 50°C or an increase in power output up to 30% when using CoolTherm materials.
Structural Adhesives for Electric Fleet Applications
For more than 50 years, we have provided adhesive and application expertise within the bus, medium-duty truck, and heavy-duty truck industries. Our structural adhesives are proven to improve strength and durability, enhanced exterior aesthetics, and reduce cost compared to mechanical fastening methods. We're here at every step of the manufacturing process from design, to the assembly line and repair.
Cab Bonding
Our adhesives are used to a bond sheet to post in truck cabs, eliminating welding and rework which offers improved aesthetics and increased through-put. They can be used to bond prepared or unprepared metals, as well as engineered plastics all while offering low read-through on thinner substrates which are often used when light-weighting the truck.
Sidewall Bonding
Smooth sidewalls are quickly becoming the standard expected by all customers in the work truck industry. Whether you are offering a smooth-sided wall for the first time or looking to reduce production costs required by other bonding methods, we have the perfect structural bonding solutions for you.
Door Closures
Door closures can be one of the most challenging features for manufacturing quality and aesthetics. Luckily, we have the proficiency to help reduce or replace welding frames thus creating a more cost-effective and aesthetically pleasing final product.
Panel Bonding
Since the first development of composite panels for sidewalls, we have been here developing structural bonding solutions for the transportation industry and gaining application expertise. Our truck and trailer adhesives can join the panels without unsightly mechanical fasteners and rivets.
