The Battronic pickup truck, an electric vehicle designed and constructed by the Battronic truck Corporation (a subsidiary of Boyertown Auto Body Works of Boyertown, Pennsylvania) was tested at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's (JPL) dynamometer facility in Pasadena, and at JPL's Edwards Test Station, located near Lancaster, California. The tests were conducted between 29 February and 24 March 1980. These tests were performed to characterize certain parameters of the truck and to provide baseline data that can be used for the comparison of improved batteries that may be incorporated into the vehicle at a later time. The vehicle tests were concentrated on the electrical drive subsystem; i.e., the batteries, controller, and motor. The tests included coastdowns to characterize the road load and range evaluations for both cyclic and constant speed conditions. A qualitative evaluation of the vehicle's performance was made by comparing its constant speed range performance with those vehicles described in the document titled State of the Art Assessment of Electric and Hybrid Vehicles. The Battronic truck was approximately equal to the majority of the vehicles tested in that 1977 assessment.
