At the heart of today’s hybrid drivetrain technology is the traction inverter, designed to maximize the efficient management of high-voltage power between the power source and the drivetrain components. Arens was among the first companies in North America to develop and produce traction inverters specifically designed for use in commercial hybrid vehicles. Today, Arens is leading the industry in the production of automotive hardened traction inverters with power ranges from 60kw to 500kw for applications ranging from large transit buses and medium-duty trucks to hybrid passenger cars.
