Committed to Quality Since 1946
Orscheln Products is the leading global supplier of motion control systems. Our products keep your vehicles running smoothly.
As electric vehicles become more prevalent in our society, Orscheln has expanded our product lines to include control systems for EVs as well.
Many commercial operations have started using fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) for their operations, and we’re committed to serving these needs with our FCEV parts and design services.
How We Help
We build components and assemblies for many different electric vehicle control systems.
OEMs, vehicle manufacturers, aftermarket clients, and individual owners all rely on our services to keep their FCEVs driving safely.
Mechanical control cables are found under the hood of almost any type of vehicle, from electric cars to military tanks and even construction equipment. Over the years, we’ve specialized in comprehensive control cable services for any kind of vehicle.
All our cables are fully jacketed with thick polymer extrusions to protect against water, dirt, and debris in any operating conditions.
Most electric vehicles use mechanical park brake systems that rely on control cables to operate. We supply the most popular FCEV parts for park brake cables, and we can even customize our cables to account for your vehicle specifications.
Unsure which cables will fit your FCEV? Try out our Build My Park Brake tool. You just need to input some basic information about your vehicles so we can suggest the best cable for your organization.
Park brake cables connect to your FCEV’s actual park brake assembly on one end. The other end of the cable will connect to the park brake lever inside the car interior. We design and build park brake levers for many on-highway vehicles, so we can create the exact style of park brake you’re looking for.
For most clients, we build “overcenter” style hand-operated brakes or foot pedal levers, but if you need custom mounting features or other special arrangements, let us know and we’ll do whatever we can to meet your needs.
Most vehicles, whether they’re gas-powered or zero emission, use foot pedals to control the throttle system, and FCEVs are no exception. Some throttle configurations use suspended floor pedals, and our Orscheln FCEV parts are the most trustworthy option around.
Our pedals deliver precise electronic signals to your fuel cell system to provide responsive handling and control.
Orscheln also builds pedals in a floor-mounted configuration for applicable vehicles. Our floor-mounted pedals include advanced sensors and are fully programmable to provide the intended response from your fuel cells.
You can also customize the pedal resistance, material (polymer or steel), and angle for your floor pedals.
If you need FCEV parts for your shift control system, Orscheln can help with our range of products. Many vehicles use mechanical-based shift controls, which rely on mechanical force to change gear.
We build a range of shifter configurations and designs to fit your vehicle style. We can also add additional buttons, sensors, or mounting brackets to accommodate your needs.
We also design and build electronic shift control systems. Electronic shift selectors send an electronic signal to the transmission to indicate how to change gears. Our designs use a push-button apparatus that are subtle and convenient.
Every electronic shifter includes a digital readout screen with a programmable PCB to display diagnostic information about your vehicle.
