Mule M100
Mule M100 is one of the latest developments of Balqon Corporation to address on-road cargo carrying applications. This vehicle carries over 4 Tons of cargo and can travel over 150 miles (unloaded) 90 miles (loaded) on a single charge.
- Operational Ease - 6 Speed fully automatic transmission – High Torque and Efficiency at all speeds
- High performance AC Induction Motor
- 76% More Energy Efficient than comparable Diesel trucks in Class 6 applications
- Powered from a Lithium Iron Phospate battery pack which has an extended life cycle: 1500 cycles at 80 percent DOD or 2500 cycles at 70 percent DOD - 5 year warranty. Reduces Operator stress & fatigue minimized with low decibel levels in cabin (electric drive system runs quiet)
- (BMS) Battery Monitoring to control temperature - charge - current life - and voltage of battery pack
- Comprehensive real time monitoring of vehicle from Dash mounted LCD Display and diagnostic system
- Comfortable and adjustable seat with plush back support
- Fully welded & Electro coasted steel Cab construction (full cab immersion) for enhanced durability
- Vehicle Maintenance virtually eliminated with integrated digital CAN BUS system & proprietary diagnostics
- Sealed & Liquid cooled Traction controls – Increases power and durability in high torque applications
- Cab Climate control with heating - Air Conditioning - Defrosting capability
- Heavy duty Torque converter - reduces shock and strain on drive line components
