BAE Systems’ Gen3 system includes an electric motor and power electronics to create a “clean, integrated” power-management product for the buses. Gen3 uses advanced materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) to increase power density and electrical efficiency, allowing buses to travel longer distances on a single charge. Its compact design allows for reduced size and weight to “deliver best-in-class reliability and performance,” BAE Systems said.
