Wrightspeed provides electric drivetrains as retrofit kits to the heavy-duty truck market.
Wrightspeed makes its powertrain, The Route, for medium-heavy duty commercial fleet trucks, a very high fuel-consumption market. While continuing to meet the payload and power expectations of fleet operators, The Route can reduce fuel consumption by 50%.
Designed for both efficiency and performance, The Route offers a return on investment unparalleled by competing technologies. Using electric drive, regenerative braking, and a unique approach to onboard power generation using a microturbine, Wrightspeed's Route is a fully integrated and extremely high power system and the first to use a software-controlled "clutchless" transmission.
Started by one of Tesla Motors' founding members and based in Silicon Valley, Wrightspeed has extremely strong competencies in systems-approach design, high-reliability software, and high-power analog electronics.
