Featured Replies

Using recuperation to harvest energy

Bosch has announced that they will show at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Hannover Germany that they will have an E-mobility package for semi trailers. This package is expected to save truck drivers $11,574 dollars a year on refrigerated trailers. Bosch calculates this will save up to 238 gallons a year in fuel consumption and with the Boost function can save even more especially in going over mountain passes helping to reduce the CO2 emissions.

Additional benefits is regenerative braking which will help with a quieter slowdown of a semi, longer brake life, hill assist starts and ascents. 

Bosch has also stated that they are looking into using this for automated parking of trailers in lots and remote control of trailers in ports and shipping destinations where movement of trailers in very short distances can be better optimized over having human truck drivers.
