Brogen Electrified Trailer Solution Overview
For electrified trailers, our solution portfolio includes the electric drive axle, featuring dual motors and a 2-speed AMT, as well as traction batteries supplied by CATL – China’s leading EV battery manufacturer. The self-developed VCU can be provided as a fully integrated solution for customers without an existing system. By developing both core components and control software in-house, we maintain full control over product quality, ensure system reliability, and secure long-term resource availability.
Functions
Auxiliary Traction Support
Delivers additional driving force to assist the tractor during acceleration, hill climbing, and heavy-load conditions, enhancing overall drivability and performance.
Intelligent Regenerative Braking
Decouples electric braking from mechanical transmission braking, allowing for precise control and maximized energy recovery without compromising braking performance.
Integrated Retardation Function
Replaces conventional retarders by enabling controlled deceleration through the electric drive system, with the added advantage of recovering energy during braking events.
Adaptive Power Mannagement
Dynamically optimizes the balance between energy consumption and torque output based on real-time operating conditions, improving overall system efficiency.
Solution Features
System-Level Electrified Trailer Solution
Deliver integrated electrified trailer solution, covering electric axle, controller, and battery system. Hardware + software co-developed for seamless performance, simplified integration, and faster time-to-market.
High Adaptability And Customization
Adapt to the trailer's power needs, operating range, and other performance targets. Applicable to trailers paired with different types of tractor units, including diesel, pure electric, and hydrogen fuel cell systems.
Environmental Benefits
Recover kinetic energy during deceleration, converting it into usable electrical energy. Enable the tractor to operate in its high-efficiency range more often, reducing fuel consumption.

Leading the Way in Innovative Electric Powertrain Technology
Electric Drive Axle
- The dual-motor structure, combined with an advanced gear shifting control strategy, ensures uninterrupted power delivery during gear shifts, enhancing vehicle safety.
- With a maximum single-axle output of over 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 heightened 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.
- 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.
- 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.
