Brogen’s Electric Trailer Drives: A Solution for Efficiency and Sustainability

More and more customers are seeking to electrify their trailers. Our company offers a comprehensive solution tailored for electric trailer drives, compatible with both pure electric tractors and fuel hybrid tractors. Let’s take a closer look.

Two Applications of Pure Electric and Hybrid Tractor

The Pure Electric Tractor + Electric Trailer: Ideal for short-distance, heavy-load, and steep-climbing scenarios, effectively addressing power and mileage challenges.

Example: A 49T traditional fuel vehicle consumes 31.9L of fuel per 100km round trip. Operating twice daily for 300 days a year, each vehicle emits 191.2T of carbon annually.

Fuel Tractor + Electric Trailer: Hybrid power is well-suited for mountainous and hilly terrains, achieving a fuel-saving rate of over 20% in demanding conditions such as mining and industrial areas.

Example: For a full-load one-way trip of 110km, the engine fuel-saving rate reaches 31.2%. Operating twice daily for 300 days a year, each vehicle can reduce carbon emissions by 43.8T annually.

Core Technologies: Distributed Drive and EMB System

Main Tractor Adaptive Control

Automatically detects road conditions, trailer status, and driving intentions to ensure precise control of the train.

Distributed Drive

Utilizes a dual-motor distributed drive solution with electronic differential technology, enabling independent control of each tire.

High Power Output

Delivers a maximum single-axle output torque of 50,000 Nm and an output power of 360 kW.

EMB Braking

Reduces installation complexity, offers fast response, precise control, and deep decoupling of drive and brake systems, enhancing overall safety.

Four Advantages

Adaptability Our system can be customized and developed based on the power and mileage requirements of the train, allowing for flexible configurations. The adaptive control algorithm is compatible with any energy source used by the main vehicle, including traditional fuel engines, pure electric systems, and hydrogen fuel cells.

Safety The distributed active control system enables electronic drive anti-skid (EASR) and body stability control (IESS), enhancing trailer stability and preventing tail-swinging. Optional Electromechanical Braking (EMB) provides faster braking response and deep decoupling from pneumatic brakes, further improving the safety and efficiency of the entire vehicle.

Environmental Protection The intelligent drive trailer system delivers electric drive power, maximizes the engine’s high-efficiency zone, and recovers energy during deceleration. This significantly reduces carbon emissions for traditional fuel vehicles.

Energy Efficiency The system increases running speed and operational efficiency while improving road adhesion utilization, which reduces tire wear.
