Powertrain with BRUDELI Powerhybrid:

A short introduction to powertrains

The Powertrain is the mechanism that generates and transfers power to the wheels.

The BRUDELI Powerhybrid patent

• Add-on solution for existing truck and transmission platforms
• Two electric motors, two clutches
• Patent pending on system and integration level

Results

• Drive 20 – 90% electric on current trucks – by modular electrifications
• Up to 20% regenerative brake energy recovery – efficiency is key on all energy sources
• Cost saving on electric versus diesel driving

What do operators/drivers want from modern medium and heavy duty trucks?

• Powershift – transfer power to the drive wheels during a gear shift. With current technology, as much as 25% of acceleration power is lost during gear shifts
• Regenerate energy going downhill or when reducing speed
• Avoid using diesel engine at low efficiency areas of the motor curve
• Turn off engine at standstill, also when power take off is needed
• Turn off engine when coasting, to save fuel
• Move vehicle with zero emission and low noise for shorter periods
• Downsize the diesel engine by support from electric motor
