Electric Power Recirculating Ball Steering (eRCB) for Commercial Vehicles

Electric Power Recirculating Ball Steering (eRCB) for Commercial Vehicles Our eRCB installed on hybrid electric trucks As commercial vehicles continue to evolve toward electrification, intelligent control, and system integration, power steering systems are undergoing a fundamental transition from hydraulics to fully electric solutions. The development of commercial vehicle power steering technology has progressed through four key stages: Mechanical steering, Hydraulic power steering (HPS), Electro-hydraulic steering (EHPS), and Fully electric steering systems, represented by Electric Power Recirculating Ball Steering (eRCB). For electric and hybrid commercial vehicles—especially light- and medium-duty platforms—eRCB offers a practical balance between high load capability, energy efficiency, and electronic controllability, while retaining the robustness of traditional recirculating ball steering mechanisms. What is the Electric Power Recirculating Ball Steering (eRCB) System? The Electric Power Recirculating Ball Steering (eRCB) system is an electrically assisted steering solution based on a traditional recirculating ball steering gear, enhanced with an integrated electric motor and reduction mechanism at the input shaft. Unlike purely mechanical systems, eRCB actively generates steering assist torque through motor control rather than hydraulic pressure. The system processes: Steering torque signals Vehicle speed signals Active control commands Based on these inputs, the controller drives the electric motor to deliver adaptive steering assistance and enable advanced steering functions, while maintaining the durability and load-bearing advantages required by commercial vehicles. How Does the Electric Power Recirculating Ball Steering Work? When the driver turns the steering wheel: Torque SensingA torque sensor detects the steering input via a torsion bar inside the steering shaft. As the driver applies force, the torsion bar twists, and the twist angle is measured.The detected torque is directly proportional to the torsion bar’s angular deformation. Vehicle Speed InputA vehicle speed sensor sends speed signals (typically square-wave signals) to the steering controller. Control and Motor ActuationThe controller processes both torque and speed signals using a predefined assist characteristic model.It then regulates the motor current accordingly. Torque Amplification and AssistanceThe motor output torque is amplified through the reduction mechanism and applied directly to the steering gear, assisting the driver’s steering input. This closed-loop control architecture enables speed-sensitive assistance, stable high-speed handling, and precise low-speed maneuverability. Key Advantages of Electric Power Recirculating Ball Steering Systems Compared with traditional hydraulic power steering solutions, eRCB offers clear system-level advantages for commercial vehicles: 1. Lower System Procurement Cost for Electric Vehicles Electric vehicles using hydraulic steering require an additional electric motor and controller to replace the engine-driven hydraulic pump.This increases both system complexity and cost. By contrast, eRCB integrates assistance directly into the steering gear, resulting in lower overall system cost. 2. Fewer Components and Reduced System Weight Hydraulic steering systems require multiple components, including hydraulic pumps, motors, and controllers, and oil hoses and reservoirs. The eRCB system eliminates these components through full electrical integration, reducing assembly complexity. Overall system weight can be reduced by approximately 50%, improving vehicle packaging flexibility and safety. 3. Extended Driving Range and Improved Energy Efficiency Hydraulic steering systems typically require a continuously operating motor with power ratings of 2 kW or higher, leading to constant energy consumption. In contrast, eRCB operates on 12V or 24V electrical systems; typical motor power demand is around 400 W; energy is consumed only during steering events. Vehicle tests show that eRCB can improve driving range by over 25% compared to hydraulic steering systems. 4. Adaptive Steering Feel and High-Speed Stability The eRCB system dynamically adjusts steering assistance based on vehicle speed, light, and responsive steering at low speeds; firm and stable steering feel at high speeds. This improves vehicle controllability, driver comfort, and operational safety—especially for commercial vehicles operating under varying load conditions. 5. No Hydraulic Oil, No Leakage Risk By eliminating hydraulic fluid, eRCB removes the risk of oil leakage, reduces environmental impact, and simplifies maintenance and servicing. 6. High Reliability and Maintenance-Free Operation The fully electric design ensures high system reliability, stable performance in low-temperature environments, and maintenance-free operation over the vehicle lifecycle. 7. Broad Vehicle Applicability The eRCB system is suitable for internal combustion engine vehicles, hybrid vehicles, and pure electric commercial vehicles. It is particularly well-suited for light- and medium-duty electric platforms requiring high steering loads and electronic controllability.

Electric Truck Powertrain: Central Drive Motor vs. Rear Electric Drive Axle

Electric Truck Powertrain: Central Drive Motor vs. Rear Electric Drive Axle For modern battery-electric trucks, selecting the right electric truck powertrain is critical for balancing efficiency, payload, and reliability. Two main approaches dominate today’s EV truck market: traditional central drive systems and integrated rear electric drive axles (e-axles). Traditional Truck Powertrain Structure – Central Drive System A central drive system typically features an EV motor coupled with a reducer (gearbox) that amplifies torque before transmitting power through a driveshaft to the rear axle. This setup resembles conventional truck powertrains and is well-suited for heavy-duty applications requiring high torque and flexible gearing. How It Works: Motor output: The EV motor generates high-speed, low-torque power. Torque amplification: The reducer increases torque for heavy-duty operations. Power transmission: Torque travels through a driveshaft to the rear axle. Final drive: The rear axle delivers power to the wheels. While reliable and mature, central drive systems add weight and occupy chassis space, which can reduce available room for batteries or other vehicle components. Electric Drive Axle (E-Axle) The e-axle integrates the EV motor, rear axle, transmission, and differential into a single compact unit, representing a modern electric truck powertrain solution. Key Advantages: Weight reduction: Eliminates the driveshaft and separate reducer, allowing higher payloads. Improved efficiency: Direct power delivery to the axle reduces energy loss and extends vehicle range. Space optimization: Frees chassis space for additional batteries or systems. Simplified design: Fewer mechanical components reduce maintenance needs and improve reliability. Considerations: E-axles are optimized for efficiency and simplicity but may have lower peak torque compared to central drive systems with large reducers. High-power e-axles require careful design and thermal management. Choosing the Right Electric Truck Powertrain Fleet operators and OEMs should select the appropriate electric truck powertrain based on operational needs: Central drive systems excel in heavy-duty applications requiring high torque and multi-speed gearing. E-axles are ideal for medium-duty and logistics trucks where weight savings, efficiency, and packaging flexibility are critical. Understanding these trade-offs ensures that electric trucks achieve optimal peformance, range, and uptime.

3-in-1 on-board charger (OBC) + DCDC+ PDU onboard charger
EV Industry

Everything You Need to Know About The On Board Charger for Electric Vehicles

Everything You Need to Know About The On Board Charger for Electric Vehicles (EV) What is an on-board charger? An On Board Charger (OBC) is a device that converts AC power into DC power. It transforms the AC voltage from charging stations into the DC voltage required by the battery. OBCs are installed in electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). They enable these vehicles to be charged using AC power from residential or public charging stations. The output power of an OBC typically ranges from 3.3 kW to 22 kW. A significant advantage of OBCs is their ability to charge electric vehicles using standard household outlets. What are the different methods of charging an electric vehicle? Electric vehicle charging stations can be broadly categorized into two types: AC charging stations and DC charging stations. AC Charging Stations As the name suggests, AC charging stations provide alternating current (AC) from the electrical grid to electric vehicles. The onboard charger then converts the AC to direct current (DC) to charge the vehicle’s battery. These stations, also known as Level 1 and Level 2 chargers, are used in residential and commercial applications. The advantage of AC charging stations is that the OBC can adjust the voltage and current according to the vehicle’s needs. This eliminates the need for the charging station to communicate with the electric vehicle. However, the disadvantage is their low output power. It results in longer charging times. AC power from the grid is delivered directly to the OBC via an Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), which then converts it to DC and charges the battery via the Battery Management System (BMS). DC Charging Stations DC chargers take AC power from the grid and convert it to DC, bypassing the OBC to charge the battery pack directly. These chargers typically deliver high voltages up to 600V and currents up to 400A. Unlike AC chargers, which take 8-16 hours to charge a vehicle, DC charging stations can fully charge an electric vehicle in approximately 30 minutes. These stations are also known as Level 3 chargers, with the chargers referred to as DC Fast Chargers (DCFC) or Superchargers. The main advantage of DC chargers is their fast charging time. However, they are technically complex and need to communicate with the electric vehicle to charge it efficiently and safely. As shown in the typical DC charging system diagram, the EVSE bypasses the OBC and delivers DC power directly to the battery pack. The standard capacity of a DC charging station ranges from 50 kW to 300 kW. It’s more than 6 times the capacity of a single-phase on-board charger. However, AC charging through the OBC has less impact on the battery and minimizes battery aging. What are the functions of the onboard charger? The primary function of the OBC is to manage the charging process from the power grid to the vehicle’s battery. The OBC is designed to charge the battery as quickly as possible while minimizing battery degradation. It offers two charging methods: constant current charging and constant voltage charging. Constant current charging: this method charges the battery faster, but cannot fully charge the vehicle. Constant voltage charging: also known as trickle charging, this method charges the battery more slowly but with greater control, allowing the vehicle to reach a full charge. To optimize charging speed, the OBC uses constant current charging at the beginning of the charge cycle and switches to constant voltage charging toward the end. The OBC also plays a critical role in the bi-directional charging mode available in some vehicles. This capability allows it to convert DC power from the high-voltage battery pack back to AC power, supporting AC loads (Vehicle to Load, V2L), grid power (Vehicle to Grid, V2G), and even home power (Vehicle to Home, V2H). Hardware architecture of the OBC The OBC primarily consists of the following hardware components: Input Voltage Measurement Circuit: Measures the input voltage to control the conversion circuit. Input Filter: Suppresses internal noise or noise from external devices. Full-Wave Rectification Circuit: Converts AC voltage to DC voltage. Power Factor Correction (PFC) Circuit: Improves power efficiency degraded by waveform phase shifts. Voltage Conversion Circuit: Converts voltage using components such as an isolation transformer and field-effect transistor (FET) switches. Output Filter: Suppresses noise generated internally. Output Voltage Measurement Circuit: Measures the output voltage to control the conversion circuit. Control Circuit: Manages the conversion circuit and other components. DC/DC Converter: Provides power to the control circuit. Communication Interface: Facilitates communication with external devices. What are the trends and challenges in OBC development? The OBC is a critical component for both battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). As the number of electric vehicles increases, the number of vehicles equipped with OBCs will also increase. At the same time, more electric vehicles will be equipped with DC fast charging capabilities.Key trends and challenges in OBC development include: Adaptation to 800V High-Voltage Platforms: OBCs will be compatible with these high-voltage systems. Increased Output Power: As 800V platforms become more common and battery capacities grow, OBCs will need to provide higher output power. Future OBCs will need to feature high voltage (high withstand voltage), high current, low loss, high heat resistance, and compact size. Bidirectional Charging Capability: OBCs will need to support bidirectional charging, allowing the conversion of DC power from high-voltage battery packs into AC power to support external AC loads. Use of Discrete High-Voltage Components: These components will be widely used in OBCs to enhance performance. Increased Power Requirements: The trend towards fast charging will significantly increase the power requirements of OBC topologies. Our On Board Charger Systems Engineered for top-tier power conversion efficiency and remarkable power density, our chargers cover a broad power spectrum, ranging from 3.3 kW to 40 kW. Whether you’re driving a passenger car, bus, van, or LCV, or require upfit power supply for specialized vehicles, our comprehensive solutions ensure seamless integration and optimal performance.  Applicable for both PHEV and BEV Wide input range, 1-phase

Electric Drive Axle for Truck: Introduction to Heavy-Duty Truck E-Powertrain Technology

Electric Drive Axle for Truck: Introduction to Heavy-Duty Truck E-Powertrain Technology Sales of electric trucks have continued to grow, driven by ambitious government policies and increasing demand for clean transportation. For heavy-duty truck manufacturers, adopting a reliable and high-performance electric drive axle for truck applications is essential to stay competitive in this fast-growing market. The Evolution of the Electric Drive Axle for Heavy-Duty Trucks The evolution of heavy-duty trucks has gone through three distinct phases, with a vision of the future of electric mobility shaping the landscape. First, traditional fuel-powered trucks dominated the roads, with cabs that were flat and high drag coefficient. These trucks relied on engine-based power systems located at the bottom of the cab. The next phase saw the emergence of gas-electric heavy-duty trucks, which retained the central drive model but swapped the engine for electric motors. However, these vehicles retained conventional propulsion systems that were bulky, inefficient, and compromised cargo space due to rear-mounted battery boxes. Today, battery-electric heavy-duty trucks typically use the electric axle for truck powertrain architecture. EV solutions with electric drive axles provide increased transmission efficiency and space flexibility. At the same time, cabin structures are redesigned to lower the center of gravity and improve aerodynamics. Why The Electric Drive Axle is a Better Choice for Battery-Electric Trucks With an advanced electric drive axle for truck platforms, manufacturers can redesign chassis structures to maximize space and performance.  For example, battery-electric heavy-duty trucks using our e-axle solution can eliminate traditional driveshafts, allowing the chassis structure to be redesigned to accommodate the battery spread flat across the chassis. This layout has many advantages: Placing the battery flat at the bottom allows for a larger battery capacity, extending the range while minimizing intrusion into the cargo area. By using a box-shaped beam frame structure, the battery pack is placed within the box frame structure, ensuring both battery safety and full utilization of the chassis load capacity. Lowering the vehicle’s overall center of gravity reduces the risk of rollover during cornering and improves driving stability and maneuverability. The overall appearance of the vehicle is improved. Analysis of Different Electric Powertrain Configurations for Heavy Trucks At present, the primary e-powertrain configurations for electric heavy trucks encompass several distinct forms: Different configurations of electric powertrains for heavy-duty trucks Analysis of configuration characteristics of different electric drive axles Comparison of dual-motor central drive and dual-motor distribute drive systems Example: Brogen’s Electric Drive Axle for Heavy-Duty Trucks Let’s take our 360 kW eAxle as an example, which is suitable for 6×4 and 4×2 tractors and heavy-duty trucks. Compared to similar eAxle products on the market, our eAxle integrates two motors, providing higher system power and torque with a smaller footprint, and has 100% regenerative braking capability, eliminating mechanical differentials. This results in lower space requirements, weight, and cost. Our electric drive axle installed on the heavy-duty truck Additional Safety Redundancy In addition, our electric drive axle system minimizes layout losses, reduces weight, and incorporates fault and safety strategies. The two drive systems are completely independent, consisting of a motor + 2-speed AMT and wheel-side reducer, using electronic differential technology and independently controlling the left and right drive systems. In the event of a single motor failure, the other motor can continue to operate normally, ensuring system safety. 23% System Weight Reduction Weight of different electric powertrain solutions for heavy trucks In contrast to the central drive system, our distributed drive system has achieved a weight reduction of 23.6%. Similarly, compared to the motor gearbox integration system, our distributed drive system has managed to reduce weight by 23.9%. Good Passability The distributed drive system boasts a 7.3% increase in ground clearance compared to the central drive system. Moreover, it achieves an even greater elevation of 11.7% when compared to the motor gearbox integration system. Higher Transmission Efficiency Compared to the central drive system, our distributed drive system demonstrates a 6% enhancement in overall transmission efficiency. High Safety Currently, heavy-duty trucks are only equipped with ABS and lack ASR, ESC, and EDL. With our EV motor’s electronic differential system strategy control, heavy trucks can be equipped with ASR/ESC safety configurations, improving vehicle traction, stability, and safety.

Battery-Electric Concrete Mixer Truck Project With Axial-Flux Motor E-Axles

Battery-Electric Concrete Mixer Truck With Axial Flux Motor E-Axles Client: A concrete mixer truck manufacturer Demand: An electric axle solution for their 31-ton heavy-duty battery-electric concrete mixer trucks The electrification trend in commercial vehicles extends to concrete transportation, driven by a dual desire for environmental sustainability and cost savings. Facing the challenge of high fuel costs, concrete mixer truck manufacturers seek innovation solutions to optimize efficiency and reduce operational costs. Description In 2023, a leading concrete mixer truck manufacturer approached us for an EV solution for their 31-ton heavy-duty battery-electric concrete mixer requirements. Understanding the industry’s need for cost-effective electrification, our experienced experts recommended the e-axle solution with axial flux motors for heavy-duty trucks to meet their demands. The 460 kW E-Axle Solution for the Battery-Electric Concrete Mixer Our integrated e-axle system features two axial flux motors, each with 230 kW of power. With the maximum power of 460 kW, the drivetrain system achieves a wheel-end transmission efficiency exceeding 96%, and the maximum gradeability reaches 50%. This also helps effectively increase the cruising range. Benefits of the E-Axle Solution With Axial Flux Motors Enhanced transmission efficiency and range: since the weight and size of the axial flux motor is 50% that of the traditional radial flux motor, this e-axle system uses the three-speed automatic transmission. The first, second, and third gears each have a two-stage transmission. While significantly improving transmission efficiency, the system operates in the high-efficiency range at almost any vehicle speed. Dual-mode shifting: The dual-mode shifting mode can achieve differential shifting between the front and rear axles as well as power compensation. There’s no interruption of power to the vehicle during the shifting process, with a shift response time of less than 0.6 seconds. Optimized vehicle layout: thanks to the use of the axial flux motors, this solution offers a more spacious vehicle layout, allowing the entire vehicle’s traction battery pack to be positioned under the vehicle’s main beams. As a result, the electric concrete mixer truck’s center of gravity is lowered by more than 100 mm compared to conventional gasoline-powered vehicles. And it’s 130 mm lower compared to similar all-electric concrete mixer trucks from other brands. Thus, this fully electric concrete mixer truck has better roll stability, ensuring safer driving. Results The application of the lightweight and more efficient axial flux motor system has enabled this 31-ton new energy concrete mixer truck to achieve a range of 260 km (according to the steady-speed method), with an actual operational range of up to 180 km, significantly outperforming similar products on the market. A driver of this battery-electric concrete mixer truck remarked, “This electric truck has strong power and is comfortable to drive, just like driving a car. Plus, charging it once at night is basically enough for a day’s use, and charging speed is also very fast, almost done in an hour.” Brogen Electric Powertrain Solutions At Brogen, we provide electric powertrain solutions for commercial vehicles, ranging from mature and reliable direct-drive motors to integrated e-powertrains (motor, transmission, and controller) as well as compact, high-efficiency e-axle solutions.
