The new suspension is a new member of the WorkMaster product family and variant of the successful Model 240AR. The new 240AR-EV was developed specifically to package with e-axles.
Reyco Granning says low-profile frame brackets leave room for body mounts or fifth wheel angles. The curved spring beam eliminates the traditional lower air spring mount to increase ground clearance, reduce weight, and accommodate a range of frame widths.
Additionally, Reyco Granning says packaging efficiencies were a focus in order to accommodate for a larger e-axle space-claim. The 240AR-EV has a GAWR range of 17,000 lb. (7.7 t) to 23,000 lb. (10.4 t) and is suitable for single or tandem drive axle arrangements. Ride heights range from 8.5 in. (216 mm) to 10 in. (254 mm). It is ideally suited for on-highway truck, tractor, motorhome, or bus applications, the company says.
“This is the latest product to come out of the Electric Vehicle Solutions business unit. It further cements our commitment to the future of heavy vehicle propulsion,” says Drake Sarault, vice president of sales.
