Ram Truck Engine Options and eTorque System Explanation

liter what if i turbo charger or one ton one tons uh so all the heavy duties you have a 6.4 liter uh 392 hemi v8 or you can do in the three-quarter ton you can also do the the cummins diesel in the wonton you can get the high output version of that too which is going to just raise the towing and payload capacity of that cummins diesel okay eco diesel is that eve available in the is that only in the half ton right now yeah okay can we can you show us it and walk us through it yeah if they made any changes on the inside of the truck the biggest update was back in 2019 when the new body style came out and that's the one that's won all the awards it's been trucker year going on almost four years now the most the biggest shake up in the truck industry so this one's got a cover on it right now but the etorque system is actually you can see it's right down there in the middle where i'm pointing so that's what replaces the alternator it does dual duty it's really not a new concept as far as the technology goes um it's basically just a reverse generator so it serves like an alternator when the engine's running to create power for all the electrical components in the vehicle but what actually was a change was the 48 volt battery which on this vehicle is mounted behind the back passenger bench and what that does is it stores power and when your vehicle is taken off you use the most of your power from the engine overcoming inertia so your first quarter turn of the wheel sorry of the tire is actually fully electric to help get things going and then from about zero to 20 miles an hour it's going to assist the engine to help accelerate and build that momentum it can with the v8 it can produce over 100 pounds of torque just completely electrically and so after that it does a seamless handoff as it gets that momentum going to get the uh the engine up to speed and then the engine takes over and then during that process the the the generator as it's running it recharges itself it's not a plug-in it's a mild hybrid system so there's really nothing to mess with the other big benefit of that is you have regenerative braking on these trucks as well so they can use that regenerative braking just like the hybrids and i don't really need to go into all the uh details on what that is but most people know so that's going to extend the life of the brake pads as well because you can use that and that energy that's captured feeds back into that 48 volt battery damn thank you jordan that…
