SHERIDAN, WYOMING – June 3, 2025 – As global electrification accelerates, HUBER+SUHNER is stepping up to meet the increasing demand for durable, high-performance cable solutions with the launch of its latest innovation: the RADOX® 185 mm² FLEX screened high voltage cable. Engineered for the toughest electric vehicle (EV) environments, this new cable is designed to support the operational demands of heavy-duty applications across mining, agriculture, and marine sectors.
Designed for a High-Stakes EV Future
With electric mining vehicles expected to account for nearly 50% of new sales by 2044, OEMs are under mounting pressure to deploy systems that can withstand extreme mechanical and environmental conditions. The RADOX® 185 mm² FLEX screened cable directly addresses this need, offering superior resilience and flexibility in mission-critical applications.
Electric vehicle fleets are already reshaping operations in mining—powering haulage trucks, loaders, and specialized underground machines. These applications require cable solutions that not only support high currents but also offer sustained performance in harsh, high-risk environments. Agriculture and marine sectors face similar stressors, with tractors, combines, and vessels all exposed to demanding workloads and environmental exposure.
Engineered for Harsh Environments
HUBER+SUHNER’s new cable features notable upgrades in mechanical and thermal performance:
- Wide operational temperature range from -40 °C to +150 °C
- Enhanced resistance to abrasion, pressure, chemicals, and environmental stress
- Flexible performance despite its large 185 mm² cross-section
- Up to 30% lower bending force compared to standard cables
These attributes make the RADOX® 185 mm² FLEX screened cable an optimal choice for EV applications that demand reliability under continuous stress.
Validated for OEM Standards and Global Compliance
OEMs in search of validated, compliant solutions will benefit from HUBER+SUHNER’s commitment to high-quality engineering. The cable is developed in accordance with ISO 19642 and is ECE R118 approved, ensuring it meets strict regulatory requirements for safety and performance.
“Despite having the largest cross-section in the family, the RADOX® 185 mm² FLEX screened cable can offer up to 30 % less bending force compared to standard cables, improving flexibility without compromising performance,” the company explains.
Furthermore, the cable delivers excellent shield current load capacity—an essential factor for high-power electric systems—while supporting high AC frequencies critical to modern EV platforms.
Strengthening the EV Supply Chain
As governments around the world enforce stricter emissions policies—including the European Union’s 2035 phase-out of combustion engines—demand for ruggedized EV components will continue to surge. HUBER+SUHNER’s RADOX® cable line is strategically positioned to support OEMs in meeting these mandates without sacrificing operational resilience.
“Developed to offer greater abrasion and pressure resistance at high temperatures, the solution will remain flexible between -40 °C up to 150 °C. This enhanced resistance also extends to chemical and environmental resistance too, making them suitable for heavy-duty applications found in the mining, agricultural and marine sectors.”
With this launch, HUBER+SUHNER further solidifies its leadership in high-voltage cabling for electrified transportation and reinforces its long-term commitment to sustainable, heavy-duty mobility.
