In record time, we developed and delivered an innovative, electric motor built on DGI’s proprietary Pareta® electric drive system with a dual motor/inverter configuration, which offers built-in redundancy at the system level. The device which offers both rotational as well as linear actuation, developed in collaboration with Cummins Inc, makes it ideal for safety-critical applications in commercial vehicles, such as electro-mechanical brakes, as a replacement for today’s air actuated brakes.
This milestone follows the signing of a Joint Development Agreement with Cummins in January 2024, with initial deliveries in June 2024. Our electric actuator brings numerous advantages over traditional systems, including safety critical response times, seamless integration with modern systems and vehicle architectures, improved packaging, precision, maintenance efficiency, energy savings, and reduced environmental impact. These benefits are making DGI’s electric motor increasingly sought after in modern vehicles for applications such as electric steering and braking, with a special focus on advanced safety, efficiency, and ease of maintenance.
Thorough testing and validation of the electric motor is currently underway, and once technically and ASIL-D certified, volume production is anticipated to be substantial.
This accomplishment is a testament to our engineering team’s dedication and expertise. At DGI, we’re committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible, and this partnership with Cummins exemplifies our drive to bring the most advanced, reliable technology to our clients.
