"We are extremely pleased to have been selected by the DOE to receive this award, which is indicative of our innovative electrification expertise and know-how," said Scott Harrison, Azure's CEO. "By dramatically improving the cost, weight and volume characteristics, our new traction system is expected to be rapidly adopted throughout our commercial vehicle base and keep Azure technology at the cutting edge of electrified transportation."
In addition to the performance and economic advantages, the system is expected to be ready for next generation wide-bandgap semi-conductors bringing significantly improved efficiency and thermal performance to electrified vehicles. The award will allow Azure to continue developing its Third Generation traction system currently in development for the initial F-Series Super Duty program expected to be commercially available in 2013. Azure plans to engineer the next generation inverter technology in a parallel path and expects to identify additional synergies between the two traction system projects as it proceeds with development activity.
Consistent with Azure's strategy to partner with market leading companies to develop best in class technology solution, Azure will work several partners, including Ford Motor Company to assist with requirements definition thereby ensuring alignment with their vehicle roadmap
