Windrose Unveils 70 kW All‑Electric PTO for Semi Trucks
WHY IT MATTERS
The 70 kW electric PTO could lower operating costs and improve the appeal of Windrose’s BEV, positioning the brand competitively in the growing electric truck market.
What happened
Windrose, an electric semi truck manufacturer, has announced a new power take‑off (PTO) that delivers up to 70 kW of power without using diesel fuel. The compact, iPad‑sized device can be integrated into the company’s battery‑electric vehicle (BEV) platform, potentially enhancing the truck’s operational flexibility and reducing fuel costs.
By eliminating diesel consumption for auxiliary power, the PTO could make Windrose’s BEV more attractive to fleet operators seeking lower operating expenses and simplified maintenance.
The company plans to test the PTO in upcoming commercial trials to validate its performance and market viability.
