The 19,000-square-foot facility will have about 50 employees focused on eMobility-specific engineering roles such as high-voltage systems, batteries, power electronics, electric-vehicle charging infrastructure, electric vehicle hardware and software integration, according to the Lisle, Ill.-based company.
Launched in October, NEXT is focused on delivering customized electrification solutions in the truck and school bus markets through its ‘4 Cs’ approach: consulting, charging, construction and connecting. Since its launch, the company has showcased its prototype electric medium-duty International eMV Series vehicle as well as its electric school bus at various U.S. trade shows. — Transport Topics
