The Powertrain Options Guide

Choose the right powertrain before you spend on the wrong one.

Ask a motor supplier and the answer is electric. Ask an engine dealer and the answer is diesel. The honest answer starts with the mission. Answer the questions below and we map the four architectures against your platform, including the ones we do not sell.

How the choice gets made

  • The four architectures, explained without the jargon
  • The six mission factors that decide between them
  • Where each architecture wins, and where it does not
  • The questions to ask any supplier, including us

Mission profile

Tell us the mission.

The architecture follows the mission, so these are the questions we would ask on a call. Answer what you know and leave the rest. Nothing here is required except a way to reach you.
