Leading the Way in Innovative Electrification Technologies

In the electrification of heavy-duty vehicles, simply replacing the engine with an electric motor while maintaining the traditional central drive system of fuel trucks can lead to issues such as excessive weight, large size, and low efficiency. Our forward-thinking distributed electric axle offers a deeper optimization of the entire electric drive system, ensuring vehicle stability, safety, and efficiency.

With a robust portfolio of core technologies for e-powertrain design, including DCU, EASR, IESS, IRBS, and more, we are dedicated to delivering substantial benefits to heavy-duty vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators, and drivers.

Electrification Solution for Heavy-duty Commercial Trailers

Brogen smart trailer solution
  • Chassis Space Savings: Reduced by 40%
  • Emergency Braking Improvement: Decreases stopping distance by almost 10 meters at speeds of 100 km/h
  • Sanitation Vehicle Modifications: Shortens wheelbase by approximately 800 mm, or increases loading volume by about 3.5m³
  • Precision Control: Ideal for autonomous driving applications

We Offer Best Features ​

  • Adaptability​​

    Our electrified trailer solution can be tailored to suit different vehicle power and mileage requirements, allowing for flexible grouping. The adaptive control algorithm enables seamless integration with any energy source for the main tractor, whether it's a traditional fuel engine, pure electric, or hydrogen fuel cell.

  • Safety​

    Our trailer system features distributed active control, facilitating electronic anti-skid (EASR) and vehicle stability control (IESS) to improve trailer stability and prevent rollovers. Optional inclusion of EMB provides faster braking response and deep decoupling from pneumatic braking, further boosting overall vehicle safety.​

  • Environmental Protection​

    The trailer system offers electric propulsion, maximizing the energy recovery in the engine's high efficiency zone and during deceleration. This approach can effectively reduce the carbon emissions from traditional fuel trucks.

  • Enhanced Efficiency​

    Our solution not only increases operating speeds, improving efficiency, but also significantly increases the use of road adhesion, resulting in reduced tire wear and extended tire life.

  • The dual motor structure, combined with an advanced gear shifting control strategy, ensures uninterrupted power delivery during gear shifts, enhancing vehicle safety.
  • The integrated design significantly reduces the overall vehicle weight by 300 kg, improves vehicle layout, and boosts loading capacity. Additionally, the lower gravity center minimizes the risk of rollover during steering, enhancing driving stability and maneuverability.
  • With a maximum single-axle output of 50, 000 N.m, abundant power is provided for various driving needs.
  • Verified through 1 million load-bearing reliability tests at 2.5 times the maximum loading capacity, ensuring heightended load-bearing safety.
  • The distributed drive design of the e-axle enables increased power redundancy. In the event of a single motor failure, the remaining motors can continue operating normally. 
  • Equipped with ASR function, enhancing traction on wetlands and preventing vehicle skidding. This feature ensures starts on rainy or snowy roads, enhancing vehicle safety in challenging driving conditions.

Case Studies​

Pure Electric Tractor + Electrified Trailer

Ideal for short-haul, heavy-duty, and uphill operations. Effectively address power and range concerns.

electrified Trailer solution - 1
  • Test location: a port
  • Vehicle full load weight: 90 T
  • Trailer battery energy: 340 kWh 
  • One-way distance: 175 km 
  • Test condition: Long-distance continuous uphill climbing

A traditional fuel vehicle weighing 49 tons consumes 31.9 liters per 100 kilometers for a round trip. If each vehicle makes 2 trips daily for 300 days a year, our solution results in the reduction of an annual carbon emission of 191.2 tons per vehicle.

In single-container transportation, the electric vehicle’s initial cost is estimated to be $72,286 USD higher than that of the fuel vehicle. However, annual operational savings of $39,286 USD suggest a payback period of around 1.84 years.

For double-container transport, the electric vehicle’s upfront cost may be $52,429 USD higher than acquiring two fuel vehicles. Nevertheless, annual operational savings of $130,857 USD, along with reduced driver expenses by $28,571 USD, indicate a payback period of approximately 0.32 years.

Fuel Tractor + Electrified Trailer

Ideal for mountainous regions as well as hilly terrains, mining sites, factory areas, and other challenging work environments. 

Trailer case study - 2
  • Test location: a mining area
  • Vehicle full load weight: 53 T
  • Trailer battery energy: 141 kWh 
  • One-way distance: 110 km 
  • Test condition: Predominantly uphill and downhill terrain

Fully loaded, each trip covers a distance of 110 kilometers with the engine achieving a fuel efficiency rate of 31.2%. With each vehicle making 2 trips per day for 300 days a year, it results in a reduction of carbon emissions of 43.8 tons per vehicle annually.

When considering the transportation of a single container, the electric vehicles’s purchase price is estimated to be $25,286 USD higher than that of a fuel vehicle. However, with annual operatinal savings of $14,429 USD, the investment is projected to be covered in approximately 1.75 years.
