Proterra and Danfoss Editron Announce Collaboration to Deliver Pre-Integrated Electrification Solutions for OEMs

New collaboration pairs Proterra's premium battery solutions with Danfoss Editron's powertrain components, giving heavy-duty equipment and specialty vehicle OEMs a proven, pre-integrated path to electrification

GREER, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Proterra, a leading provider of proven, heavy-duty battery technology, today announced a strategic collaboration with Danfoss Editron, a global leader in electric powertrain components, to offer OEMs pre-validated and integrated electrification solutions that simplify the electrification journey for heavy-duty equipment and specialty vehicle OEMs.

For OEMs working towards electrifying their vehicles and equipment, knowing where to start as well as which components work together across the entire electric powertrain can be one of the biggest barriers to moving forward. Through this collaboration, Proterra and Danfoss Editron have pre-integrated their respective battery and powertrain component solutions, giving OEMs a validated foundation to build on and remove much of the guesswork, engineering risk, and long timelines historically associated with sourcing and integrating electrification components from multiple suppliers. These solutions are used in areas such as off-highway equipment, commercial vehicles, marine, motor control, power conversion, industrial machinery, heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration.

Marissa Keisler, Head of Marketing and Brand Development, said, "Electrification can be complex, but choosing the right partners shouldn't be. This collaboration with Danfoss Editron gives OEMs a validated, ready-to-integrate foundation, which reduces development time and engineering costs, and accelerates the delivery of high-performance zero-emission products to market."

Dustin Chapman, Director of Americas at Danfoss Editron, said, "Too often, OEMs are left to piece together an electric powertrain from suppliers who've never had to work together. With this collaboration, we're changing that by giving manufacturers an integrated solution backed by two proven names in electrification. Partnerships like this reflect our long-term commitment to supporting customers and advancing electrification in North America."

By pairing Proterra's premium battery solutions with Danfoss Editron's powertrain components, OEMs gain access to a solution built for the toughest environments and demanding duty cycles found in heavy-duty transportation and equipment applications. The collaboration is designed to help OEMs move faster and with greater confidence, reducing the complexity of evaluating, sourcing, and integrating components from separate suppliers.

This collaboration reflects Proterra's ongoing commitment to powering the shift to a more sustainable future by removing barriers to electrification and providing the proven, innovative solutions OEMs need to succeed.
