ePTOs Enabling Engine Off Operation
How does ePTO technology enable engine-off operation while reducing emissions, costs, and equipment wear?
Traditional mechanical Power Take Off (PTO) systems have long been the backbone of powering auxiliary equipment in commercial vehicles. However, with tightening emissions regulations and increasing demand for operational efficiency, the industry is shifting toward innovative electric PTO solutions.

ePTOs Enabling Engine Off Operation dives into the design, benefits, and real-world applications of ePTO systems, offering fleet operators, OEMs, and engineers critical insights to drive smarter, cleaner, and quieter vehicle operations.

What you'll gain from this whitepaper:
  • Understand the limitations of traditional PTO systems and how ePTO overcomes these challenges by enabling auxiliary functions independent of engine operation.
  • Explore the two main ePTO architectures: low-voltage modular and high-voltage modular systems, including their design, integration, and cooling requirements.
  • Learn how to accurately size ePTO components (pump, motor, inverter) based on flow, pressure, duty cycle, and noise considerations to optimize performance and efficiency.
  • Discover the broader operational benefits including reduced engine wear, lower noise pollution, and enhanced compliance with emissions regulations.
  • Gain insights into the future of vehicle electrification and how ePTO technology serves as a practical, cost-effective pathway toward cleaner commercial vehicle fleets.
