We make the electric revolution work.*

*Vehicle manufacturers work hard to improve the way the world moves, and we help them do it. They rely on us to assist in building efficient vehicles that travel faster, farther, higher and safer at a lower overall cost to consumers and the environment. We’re helping to drive adoption and evolve EV technology at our sweet spot: the convergence of electrical and mechanical power.

We combine automotive, commercial vehicle and aerospace expertise with electrical insights. And we’re dedicated to bringing more innovative ideas to life; through our global R&D and manufacturing facilities, we deliver the quality products our partners - and their customers - demand. The result: safer, more efficient travel solutions with superior levels of serviceability.

Our combined vehicle and electrical expertise enables our OEM partners to take their business and customers to newer, greener horizons. From start-ups to legacy vehicle manufacturers, we help facilitate vehicle electrification today and collaborate with companies around the globe to innovate the transportation technologies of the future. Because that’s what matters. 

Inside the vehicle, our experience, coupled with our capabilities in power electronics and electrical power distribution, inspire technologies that save time, increase safety and drive efficiencies that impact everyday travel, your business and the planet for the better. Our Breaktor® circuit protection technology advances EV system safety to ensure people and components are protected. Breaktor can be integrated into our power distribution system with our innovative connector and terminal solutions for an electrical system that delivers the efficient, reliable power that EV drivers can count on.

Beyond the vehicle, our EV charging infrastructure (EVCI) solutions offer safe, smart, energy-optimized vehicle charging right at your doorstep. Whether you need to charge at home, at work or on the go, Eaton offers more than EV chargers alone. For homeowners, our complete charging infrastructure solutions allow you to optimize charging and lower energy costs. With the integration of renewables, energy storage and more, homes can create a smart home ecosystem with connected software solutions and act as their own energy hubs. There’s even greater control for commercial buildings and multi-tenant residences: building owners can balance the power load optimally across several chargers, employ peak shaving to avoid spiking energy prices, distribute costs in any proportion among users, and even monetize charging to generate revenue.

Whether you're a vehicle manufacturer or a building owner, you're facing a time of incredible change and innovation. With Eaton’s know-how, resources, and solutions, you’ll give drivers the vehicles and supporting infrastructure they deserve and boost your business or home for a greener future.

The commercial vehicle industry will continue to face increasing pressure from emissions regulations. And while diesel engines will remain the primary power source, electrification will play a critical role in turning those challenges into opportunities for better ROI. We understand new technologies are costly, which is why we work with OEM and fleet partners to develop scalable, modular commercial vehicle electrification solutions. We solve complex electrical challenges thanks to decades of experience in high-voltage power and commercial vehicle hybrid systems. Our EV transmissions improve performance on steep grades, allowing electric motors to operate more efficiently. And our FLEX PDU routes power and provides central protection for the electrical system in the electric bus or truck — a modular solution that enhances system safety for all sizes of commercial vehicles.

Power management goes beyond the commercial vehicle itself and into the infrastructure to support the charging needs of the whole fleet. When you electrify your fleet, we know disruption isn’t an option. And our comprehensive, cybersecure charging infrastructure is designed to keep them moving. With Eaton’s EVCI capabilities, you can employ a mix of standard AC Level 2 and DC fast chargers, scale up or down as needed, track your fleet’s consumption and costs, and monitor the energy performance and costs of your building. It’s the ultimate in oversight and control, where load balancing, modularity and flexibility is key.

The same is true for owners of commercial buildings looking to incorporate charging infrastructure. Whether you’re attracting customers to your location, providing employees with green transportation alternatives, or adding paid parking to your business portfolio, you need infrastructure that can grow with your business. We make it easy to integrate, manage, and operate vehicle charging stations, monetize them for a new revenue stream and shift the load for optimal user experience and energy savings. 

Whether for a long-haul truck traversing the highway or fast charging for retail customers, Eaton is driven to develop new technologies that improve efficiency and safety—without sacrificing performance.

Weight-sensitive platforms, such as the next-generation electric vertical take-off and landing vehicles (eVTOLs), leverage our high-voltage power distribution units (PDUs) and power converters. Eaton’s lightweight electromechanical actuators replace hydraulic systems for commercial and military aircraft spoilers and thrust reversers. Our wiring devices and interconnect solutions span from nose to tail of aircraft, supporting the comfort and safety of both passengers and crew

Urban air mobility and eVTOLs, which Eaton’s Green Motion Air chargers will power, are anticipated to transform air transportation as we know it. They offer a viable, safer alternative for travel throughout urban environments or between nearby cities. They can reduce traffic and congestion for delivering goods and visiting loved ones. They even allow scientists to monitor wildfires, forests, and coastal health from the sky.

For aircraft manufacturers, airlines, and travelers everywhere, the journey to the future will be more electric. At Eaton, we’re harnessing engineering creativity and proven capabilities to make it happen.
