The company plans to present the technology to the public for the first time at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover.

According to Mahle, it increases the range while at the same time reducing the required battery capacity.</p>\n\n<p><span><span><span><strong>Standalone unit within an existing platform</strong></span></span></span></p>\n\n<p>The system combines a battery-electric drive with a compact internal combustion engine that drives a high-voltage generator. This provides electrical energy as needed and powers the drive during operation. Mahle describes the concept as an independent unit that can be integrated into existing platforms for electric trucks. Generator, internal combustion engine, thermal management, fuel tank, AdBlue tank, and exhaust aftertreatment are housed in a single common module.</p>","text-2":"<p><span><span><span><strong>Less battery, more range</strong></span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span>In a battery-electric truck, about one third of the battery capacity is replaced by the range extender. This allows for the installation of a smaller battery. The vehicle is said by Mahle to be about 600 kilograms lighter. At the same time, the axle load on the rear axle should decrease by about 400 kilograms. The combined range is stated by the company to be more than 800 kilometers. Approximately 400 kilometers should come from the battery, another around 400 kilometers from the range extender.</span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span>Mahle has developed the high-voltage generator for a continuous output of 110 kilowatts and a peak output of up to 130 kilowatts. A newly developed oil cooling system is intended to enable a high power density at low weight. The company sees its deployment primarily for applications where long ranges and flexible deployment options are required.</span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span>According to Mahle, an electric truck equipped with a range extender emits more than 80 percent less CO2 in operation than a conventionally powered vehicle. If the internal combustion engine is operated with the biofuel HVO100, operation could be nearly CO2-free. The company also points to a thermal management system with separate high- and low-temperature circuits, designed to ensure stable operation under heavy load.</span></span></span></p>","text-3":"<p><span><span><span><strong>New Electric Motor Without Rare Earth Elements</strong></span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span>Alongside the new Range Extender system, Mahle is also presenting at IAA Transportation a newly developed MCT electric motor for heavy commercial vehicles.

The company appeals to the EU for entrepreneurial freedom, which is too restricted under the current level of regulations. Thus Europe cannot remain competitive in the long term.</span></span></span></p>\n\n<p><span><span><span>Looking at the market, Mahle points to its position in the field of electrified commercial vehicles. According to its own statements, the supplier is represented in Europe in all battery-electric and fuel-cell-powered trucks.
