🔧 Built by Truckers, for Truckers 🔧
Founded by Chace Barber and Eric Little in 2016, Edison Motors is a testament to the trucking spirit. Beginning with a 1969 Kenworth Logging Truck named "Old Blue," they journeyed from Merritt, BC, hauling logs to the Yukon and drilling rigs in Alberta. Frustrated with newer trucks, they rebuilt classics from the frame up, expanding into power generation and off-grid solar systems in 2019. Their journey led to the creation of the Edison Truck, a robust electric truck tailored to logging and heavy vocational industries.
🔩 Upgrade Without Replacing: Edison Electrification Kit 🔩
Keep trucks on the road longer with the Edison Electrification kit. Upgrade your driveline to electric without replacing the entire truck. Ideal for vocational applications, this kit is a cost-effective solution. Unlike other electric trucks, Edison Motors offers customer choice. Choose between Rebuilding (utilizing existing cab and frame rails) or Remanufacturing (brand new frame and chassis).
🚚 Payload Efficiency: The Weight Balance 🚚
Edison Trucks match the weight of a normal diesel truck. With reduced motor weight and additional fuel balancing out battery weight, experience efficiency and increased payload capacity. The L series, though slightly heavier, remains comparable to a normal diesel truck.
🛠️ Keep Your Equipment with Rebuilt Trucks 🛠️
For vocational trucks, keep your equipment with a rebuilt truck. Edison's e-pto and control system integrate seamlessly. No need to replace your entire body when upgrading to an electric truck.
🔧 Bespoke Manufacturing: Handcrafted to Your Needs 🔧
The manufacturing process at Edison Motors is a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. Each Edison Truck undergoes a meticulous five-step process, from frame and rolling chassis preparation to final touches and rigorous testing. The focus is on building a truck that reflects the customer's requirements, embracing the philosophy of "Building The Truck Of The Future With The Quality Of The Past."
🔌 Electric or Diesel-Electric: Your Power, Your Choice 🔌
Edison Motors offers both fully electric and diesel-electric vocational trucks based on customer demands. The onboard generator ensures continuous operation in areas lacking charging infrastructure.
💡 Advantages of Electric: Power, Torque, Longevity 💡
Edison Trucks bring increased power, torque, reliability, and longevity. Inspired by electric freight trains, regenerative ability harnesses energy for efficient uphill climbs.
⚙️
🌿 Environmental Benefits: Paving the Way for Change 🌿
Diesel-electric technology results in up to 70-100% fuel savings, directly correlating to a 75%-100% reduction in diesel exhaust. Smaller lithium batteries mean less environmental damage. Diesel-electric offers a practical transition to electric for energy-intensive trucking industries. Generator diesel engines ensure optimal fuel/air ratio, contributing to a hotter and cleaner burn of emissions.

    @@vica153 That’s true for a long haul trucker that operate mostly on highway. However, vocational trucks don’t operate like that. Their engines don’t usually stay in the 1500-1900 rpm range very often. So, with the engine running as a generator, it’s runs at a constant RPM (diesels love that) and it’s set to run at a peak efficiency RPM. So in this application it’s very efficient. Especially when you consider a logging truck like Chase is. Where it charges its batteries going down hill with the log load and uses that power to get back up the hill to the log landing while empty.

    There is the laski ls160 electric chipper. It's less noisy but still far from quiet. Would be absolutely glorious to power it off the truck though. Could make the chipper much lighter. I've been toying with the idea of a smaller trailer with a tipper, and a small chipper attached to the trailer that runs off the van battery. Stellantis have hinted at putting a 400v three phase outlet in their vans with the facelift coming this year. It would be great for smaller stuff where the customer wants to keep fire wood, there's already three phase chippers that do up to like 10-15 cm. Anything over that could be left for fire wood, and you could fit a lot more in the trailer than if you were just piling branches in. Would be great for my small scale one-man company.

The chipper was powered by a hydraulic motor, powered by the truck’s hydraulics. The chipper could be swung to the side to dump, or removed like an implement. They did urban utility clearance work, so they were mostly chipping small cuts. I have to imagine putting batteries in a more central low position in a truck frame could increase stability in boom/cranes.

    Dude same. '12 Dodge RAM. The 5.7L HEMI engine is fine. To get the equivalent horse power and torque as the kit, it's completely unrealistic. A supercharger on a 5.7L HEMI is $10k. And even then, the axles, transmission, the whole drivetrain basically is only rated for just over 500 lb-ft of torque. Anything over that and everything is crumbling under the pressure of monster truck force. But, keep the 5.7L HEMI to generate electricity and run it at absolutely peak efficiency (no idling/MDS bullshit with lifters wearing out cam lobes), you breath life into an older vehicle. And you end up with 500 ponies and ~8000 lb-ft of torque for the price of a new base model 1/2 ton truck. I wonder what the towing numbers will be when it's all said and done. I'm betting that it'll be 100% limited by brake rotors size rather than torque.

    @@jasongreene303 True, but that feels like a whole conversation that @EdisonMotors needs to do a video on. Converting an older 3/4 ton or 1 ton is not quite the same as how vehicles are made today for the speeds you typically are driving at. You could put a weight distribution hitch on a 1/2 ton Ram 1500 with the diesel-hybrid conversion and technically be capable of towing 15,000 lbs with all that excess torque, but that doesn't mean you should. E.g. A skid steer is roughly 9000-10,000 lbs, add the weight of the trailer and you're over the 10k limit that most modern RAM's are designed for. Any more and you'll need to upgrade to a 2500 or 3500. The kit definitely sounds like it'll fall in the realm as the RAM 3500's 6.4L HEMI or similar offerings. At least on paper, with the amount of horsepower/torque it has it aught to be capable of towing 30,000 lbs. Provided the hitch, suspension, brakes, etc were all up to the job.

    It's not at all ideal for 3/4ton trucks doing normal truck usage. If you did do it, the awesome capacity of the new axles would be wasted in a relatively light/weak 3/4ton frame. From what I can see the axles and generator in these are spec'd for 1ton - 1.5ton commercial use trucks doing serious work. Lots of heavy loads around town, stop/start driving. Something like large box trucks doing deliveries around the city would be ideal. Or other types of work trucks that have high electrical loads from welding or hydraulic equipment.

You could make power packs, or whatever its called, instead of the ones used now (wink wink Ferdinand Porsche and his Tiger ideas). You said you weren't into Europe yet but this would also be a solution for the cities that are starting to forbid diesel in cities like in Germany. Just switch to electric until you're out of town.

    only solution for when they will start trying to electrify armoured vehicles To answer your question... You are about 5 to 10 years behind in your thinking that development started about 10 years ago and the first vehicles were built for testing 5 years ago. About 3 years ago... The US Army has a full division testing out a fully battery-powered HQ and all of their vehicles are battery or battery hybrid - they have a special M1 tank they have been testing out. They found out batteries last a lot longer so they use less of them. They found out the same thing as Edison Motors had with the feedback of their solar light towers. The sound or lack of sound makes life in the field a lot better, there is a great reduction in the supply chain for the division, due to the nature of the power costs are greatly reduced and it is a lot better to hide the division on the battlefield.

    I have a 1969 F350 with a dump box on my acreage. I use it for hauling water and garbage. I'm a young man, and I won't be able to afford to convert it for many years. However, now I know that it's worth fixing the body a bit, new tires and rims, etc. Someday, as my business grows, I'll be able to count on this truck for more than 5km trips

    I love your project, business philosophy, and your sense of humour. I know your initial plan is to offer a truck bed mounted battery pack, however I am glad that you are open to the development of a frame rail installation. Understandably this is more complicated because it will require customizations for each make of vehicle, however, I believe it will ultimately be the way to go. All the best to your endeavour.

Another nice benefit of those platforms - compared with pickups - the fuel tank usually is suspending behind the axle - while in a Pickup it- is in front or above - so it is in the way.
