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 »
Q&A with CharIN North America President: It’s all about interoperability
Interoperability—the ability of products from different manufacturers to work together—is one of the most fundamental enablers of our technological society. From low-tech tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches to digital constructs like computer operating systems, interoperability is critical, and the lack of it is often a roadblock to the adoption of new technologies. As EVs… Read more »
Electrifying Auxiliaries: Use Case Examples for Commercial Vehicles and Off-highway Machinery
Electrifying auxiliaries decoupled from combustion engines play a particularly important role in the path towards electrifying commercial vehicles and mobile machinery. These auxiliaries control crucial functions such as power steering and braking, and power the body equipment performing work, such as hydraulic systems or power-take-off equipment. In this session, we’ll examine some use case examples… Read more »
