Video: Parker’s new Global Vehicle Inverter is designed for heavy-duty EV scalability

In a recent interview with Charged, Jonah Leason, the Electrification Product Manager at Parker Hannifin, described the strategy behind the design of its next-generation Global Vehicle Inverter (GVI).

The new GVI is designed to support the electrification needs of heavy-duty vehicles by integrating seamlessly with Parker’s Global Vehicle Motors (GVMs). This inverter model is built with adaptability in mind, providing manufacturers with a solution that addresses essential needs like safety, scalability, and ease of integration across a variety of vehicle types.

Available in three power levels—75 kW, 125 kW, and 250 kW—the GVI supports a range of vehicle sizes, from mid-sized loaders to large excavators, allowing manufacturers to scale production efficiently.

Safety features are central to the design of the Generation 2 GVI. With compliance to ISO 13849 and ISO 26262 standards, the inverter includes high-voltage interlock loops, active and passive discharge options, and several functional safety measures. These features are intended to meet the high-voltage safety demands of electric heavy-duty vehicles, addressing common challenges for manufacturers transitioning to electrified powertrains. By focusing on robust safety measures, Parker supports a practical approach for companies stepping into high-voltage electrification.

The GVI also simplifies integration, pairing smoothly with Parker’s GVM motors and working well with other Parker products, such as control units and sensors. This compatibility minimizes engineering efforts and provides a more streamlined development process, particularly useful for proof-of-concept vehicles. For manufacturers looking to scale from prototypes to larger production runs, Parker’s GVI offers a balanced solution that supports scalability, safety, and straightforward integration into the electrification of heavy-duty equipment.
