Odyne Corporation has developed a complete suite of power, control and energy storage systems for electric and hybrid electric propulsion. Odyne’s components are designed for use as stand-alone products or as part of a complete vehicle platform. Odyne’s electric/hybrid electric propulsion system components now include:

Traction Drives
Battery Chargers
DC-to-DC Converters
Vehicle Control and Monitoring Systems
Battery Energy and Thermal Management Systems
Auxiliary Power Units
Auxiliary Drives

When used individually or as a complete system, Odyne’s propulsion system components provide a unique combination of technology and modularity for heavy duty electric and hybrid electric vehicles ranging in weight from 19,501lbs to 45,000lbs GVW (Class 6,7 and 8). Check maximum weight.

The core of Odyne’s propulsion system is its proprietary energy and thermal management systems, which provide efficient and reliable application of existing and emerging battery technologies. By applying Odyne’s systems, electric and hybrid electric vehicle customers can achieve:

Increased Range
Reliable/Predictable Range
Longer Battery Life
Eliminate Battery Maintenance

Odyne’s state of the art battery management systems, in conjunction with its control technology, enhance the performance of battery packs used in electric and hybrid electric vehicles. In other words “Odyne can not make batteries better, but provides techniques for better operation of systems that use batteries”. This enabling technology can provide users with a technology road map which maximizes operation with currently viable battery technologies with the option to use advanced chemistry batteries as they become affordable.
