Responsible for design and overall mechanical development of Ram and Ford F-550 integration kits, from feasibility studies to production release
Integrated battery packs, inverters, electric motors, telematics and control units, custom driveshafts, and custom bracketry associated with these subsystems to form a complete system
Designed custom components using a combination of OEM CAD models, 3D scanned data, and physical templates
Constructed and managed configurable system assembly models for each product, including multiple wheelbases and drivetrains
Mitigated drivetrain NVH and drivability issues in more complex refinement by conducting modal analyses and iteratively refining subassembly designs

These hybrid-electric retrofit kits addressed a need for fuel economy improvement in large, fleet-owned vehicles, and converted factory ICE vehicles to HEV or PHEV as part of the upfit process (bodies, liveries, etc) before fleet deployment
- Common vehicles included heavy-duty pickups, shuttle buses, and cargo trucks
Fuel economy was improved by up to 25% using these kits
Systems warrantied for up to 3 years or 75,000 miles
