Proterra and Danfoss Editron Announce Collaboration to Deliver Pre-Integrated Electrification Solutions for OEMs

GREER, S.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 10, 2026--

Proterra, a leading provider of proven, heavy-duty battery technology, today announced a strategic collaboration with Danfoss Editron, a global leader in electric powertrain components, to offer OEMs pre-validated and integrated electrification solutions that simplify the electrification journey for heavy-duty equipment and specialty vehicle OEMs.

For OEMs working towards electrifying their vehicles and equipment, knowing where to start as well as which components work together across the entire electric powertrain can be one of the biggest barriers to moving forward. Through this collaboration, Proterra and Danfoss Editron have pre-integrated their respective battery and powertrain component solutions, giving OEMs a validated foundation to build on and remove much of the guesswork, engineering risk, and long timelines historically associated with sourcing and integrating electrification components from multiple suppliers. These solutions are used in areas such as off-highway equipment, commercial vehicles, marine, motor control, power conversion, industrial machinery, heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration.

Marissa Keisler, Head of Marketing and Brand Development, said, "Electrification can be complex, but choosing the right partners shouldn't be. This collaboration with Danfoss Editron gives OEMs a validated, ready-to-integrate foundation, which reduces development time and engineering costs, and accelerates the delivery of high-performance zero-emission products to market."

Dustin Chapman, Director of Americas at Danfoss Editron, said, "Too often, OEMs are left to piece together an electric powertrain from suppliers who've never had to work together. With this collaboration, we're changing that by giving manufacturers an integrated solution backed by two proven names in electrification. Partnerships like this reflect our long-term commitment to supporting customers and advancing electrification in North America."

By pairing Proterra's premium battery solutions with Danfoss Editron's powertrain components, OEMs gain access to a solution built for the toughest environments and demanding duty cycles found in heavy-duty transportation and equipment applications. The collaboration is designed to help OEMs move faster and with greater confidence, reducing the complexity of evaluating, sourcing, and integrating components from separate suppliers.

This collaboration reflects Proterra's ongoing commitment to powering the shift to a more sustainable future by removing barriers to electrification and providing the proven, innovative solutions OEMs need to succeed.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dug in for a fight Tuesday against his potential impeachment in Congress, telling reporters that a rogue lawmaker is targeting him over “policy disagreements” and not the high crimes or offenses the nation’s founders intended.

The embattled Pentagon chief spoke at his first press briefing from the five-sided building in six months, launching a counteroffensive against outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie’s effort to impeach him over his handling of the unpopular war against Iran and other actions.

“In the 250 years of our American republic, no Secretary of War or Secretary of Defense has ever been impeached for carrying out lawful military operations,” Hegseth told reporters.

The briefing was Hegseth’s first since May even as the U.S. military has kept up intermittent operations against Iran as well as fatal strikes on alleged drug-smuggling boats in Latin America.

Rep. Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican who lost his primary to a Trump-backed opponent, filed the impeachment resolution in the House on Monday. It sets the stage for a dramatic vote on whether to remove a prominent Trump administration figure following sweeping losses for Republicans in last week's midterm elections that many at least partly blamed on the Iran conflict and its economic impact.

The resolution largely focuses on the war in Iran but also includes references to Hegseth’s role in military actions in Yemen against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels and Venezuela. Massie said Hegseth’s actions amount to “high crimes and misdemeanors” and his leadership at the Pentagon “warrants impeachment.”

A vote in the House could come by midweek, putting pressure on Republicans — many of whom blamed their election wipeout on the Iran war — but next steps are highly uncertain.

Trump has backed Hegseth, pointing to the raid to capture then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in January as well as military operations against Iran that he asserts have “obliterated” its navy and air force.

Iran, however, has been able to keep striking U.S. military bases in the Middle East and has disrupted shipping in the Strait of Hormuz during the course of the more than 8-month-old conflict, driving up global oil prices. Trump told reporters Monday that the Iran war “militarily is effectively over" and repeated his often-made claim that Iran “would love to make a deal.”

Hegseth also has been defending his stewardship of the U.S. military.

“There’s a lot of politically motivated people who may have substantial policy disagreements, but their disagreements are with success,” he told reporters Monday after a speech at the Naval War College in Rhode Island. He added that “if we want to litigate” the military actions that the Trump administration has taken, “I’m happy to do it all day long.”

He also released a video on social media last week that argued impeachment would be “all about the politics of personal destruction” and that “won’t work with me. You can rest assured of that.”

Afterward, scores of Pentagon political appointees posted images of Hegseth emblazoned with the words, “Stand. Fight. Defend the Republic.”

Sean Parnell, the Pentagon’s top spokesman, released a statement saying that “despite threats of sham witch hunts from Democrats,” Hegseth is “100% committed to leading the Department until the end of President Trump’s term in office.”
