The electric powertrain is equipped with a midship mounted electric drive motor and two thermally-controlled battery packs. The direct-drive midship mounted motor sends power to the rear axle via driveshaft while the power electronics cradle sits under the cab where an engine would reside. The cradle includes the battery disconnect controls, vehicle software, cab heaters, air compressor and a converter, which provides 12-volt power to all other electronics, including lights and gauges.

The Model 220EV’s cab over configuration and single rear axle allow for a tight turning radius that's ideal for confined city spaces. The charge port can be conveniently located behind the cab or behind the rear axle for pull through or back in charging facilities. The Model 220EV has a unique grille with blue accents, nose piece and electric vehicle badges on the doors make the Model 220's EV status easy to recognize.
