Excerpt

The article delves into the untapped efficiency potential of trailers in truck-trailer combinations, focusing on the electrified trailer as a key innovation. It discusses how electric drive axles in trailers can recuperate energy during braking and downhill driving, significantly reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Additionally, the article explores aerodynamic improvements, such as OptiFlow side panels, and cargo space optimization through the CargoCam system. These technologies not only enhance efficiency but also improve safety and operational costs. The article concludes with a summary of the benefits and an outlook on the necessary regulatory changes to fully realize the potential of these innovations.
