Electrifying Auxiliaries: Overview Of KEB T6 Auxiliary Inverter System For Commercial EV Applications
When electrifying commercial vehicles there are several auxiliaries that would have otherwise been driven by the combustion engine which also need to be electrified. These auxiliaries include pumps, compressors and fans for both chassis and body equipment. Electrifying these multiple auxiliaries can present many challenges in cabling, plumbing, physical packaging, noise and EMI mitigation, and… Read more »

Daimler Truck announces dealer certification program for EVs
Just like passenger cars, commercial vehicles are traditionally sold through dealerships, and these dealerships must also make investments in new facilities and training in order to sell EVs. Vehicle-makers are establishing certification programs to make sure their dealers are prepared to provide a good experience to their customers as they make the transition to EVs…. Read more »
Maersk’s APM Terminals explains why container port equipment must electrify
Ocean shipping is often cited as one of the most difficult transport segments to electrify, and with good reason. However, there’s one segment of the container shipping industry that should be fairly easy to cost-effectively electrify: container handling equipment (CHE) at ports. APM Terminals—a unit of Danish shipping giant Maersk that runs about 8% of… Read more »
“Smart” electric auxiliary control solutions that add value
Sponsored by KEB Efficiency is the name of the game in electric vehicle design and can affect vehicle range and energy costs. For a given device technology, there won’t be much efficiency advantage from one manufacturer versus another in apples-to-apples product comparison. However, there is another way to think of efficiency, and that is in… Read more »
Electrifying Auxiliaries: A flexible system approach for multiple auxiliaries
Sponsored by KEB Traditionally, a combustion engine provides more than just traction power to the wheels for commercial vehicles. It powers smaller auxiliary loads from the drive belt such as the power steering pump, air compressor for brakes and suspension, HVAC compressor, and coolant pump. And for body equipment, an engine provides power via PTO… Read more »
Electrifying Auxiliaries: Innovative Solutions For Multiple Auxiliaries In Commercial Vehicles
Commercial electric and hybrid vehicles can have several low power auxiliary loads which would need to be electrified when decoupled from an ICE. Such auxiliaries include pumps for power steering or body hydraulics, air compressors for braking and suspension or HVAC, and direct-drive or geared motors for other fully-electrified body machinery. In this session, we’ll… Read more »
