The 579EV Day Cab configuration features a battery-electric drive system that uses the energy stored in large packs of thermally managed lithium iron phosphate batteries to meet propulsion and other power requirements. Varieties of innovative, advanced technologies use the battery energy efficiently while achieving superior vehicle performance. The 579EV is ideal for short haul and drayage applications in port operations. These applications provide many opportunities for stops and starts and the use of regenerative braking, which transfers energy back into the battery packs to extend operating range and reduce brake pad wear, providing energy efficiency with a smooth, quiet ride.
