Voith Electrical Drive System for heavy trucks and special vehicles
The VEDS HD+ from Voith is the innovative e-drive system for heavy-duty trucks and special vehicles, such as construction site vehicles and refuse trucks.
Where other trucks are stretched to their limits, vehicles with VEDS HD+ are ramping up their performance. Thanks to the Voith Electrical Drive System VEDS HD+ for heavy-duty trucks and special vehicles, the shift to sustainable mobility can now overcome heavy loads, rough terrain and challenging special demands.
Not individual components but a turnkey solution
The new Voith Electrical Drive System (VEDS) HD+ consists of the electric motor EVO 330 with 330 kW or EVO 390 with 390 kW, the electric transmission, which allows the right gear-shifting program for each application, complemented by the new inverter generation, our Future Inverter Platform, for high-performance range.
Electric motors EVO 330 and EVO 390
When it comes to the drive system, you can choose between two electric motors tailored to the respective application.
The EVO 390 (390 kW) is ideal for applications up to 40 t gross vehicle weight with a high proportion of intercity and freeway travel, as well as for electric coaches.
With the EVO 330 (330 kW), the focus is on refuse trucks and comparable applications in urban areas with frequent start-stop operations. Both motors have a very stable thermal design with high continuous output.

Electric transmission
The transmission developed by Voith allows the right gear-shifting program for each application, which optimally covers the power requirements of the vehicle with the lowest energy consumption.
It is designed to work with maximum efficiency at high torque and high speeds. This also makes the transmission ideal for long-distance driving. It can deliver sufficient power to the axles even on steep inclines.
Technical specifications
- 4-speed (AMT) transmission
- BLDC gear actuator for fastest shifting time
- 99% transmission efficiency in 4th gear
- Retarder interface for 650 kW braking power
- Weight: 170 kg
Future inverter platform
The centerpiece of the VEDS HD+ drive system, the newly developed inverter, is also geared for use in the high-performance range.
Not only can the innovative power electronics cope with the power of the two EVO motors, but they also offer the option of additional power classes. Directly cooled power semiconductors ensure a high-power density.
Technical specifications
- ISO 26262 and automotive Cyber Security conformity
- Autosar based software
- 250 / 320 / 390 kW available
- IGBTs with direct cooling
- Weight: 30 kg
