AxlePower ensures that no energy goes to waste! This trailer-mounted solution recovers and stores energy generated by braking and driving downhill so you can power your refrigeration unit with sustainable energy.
Zero-emission refrigeration
A-500e
Turn off your unit’s engine and power it electrically with sustainable energy.
Energ-e battery pack
Energy is stored in a high-voltage battery, placed underneath your trailer. Minimum two hours of autonomous operation.
BPW ePower Axle
New energy-efficient design reduces impact on your BEV’s battery.
Fully tractor independent
The entire system is trailer-mounted. Any tractor, driven by any power source, be it HVO, biodiesel or battery can be installed on your AxlePower trailer.
Smart Power Management
Our unique intelligent charging system automatically switches between 3 modes for optimal charging efficiency and ease of use, without driver intervention.
Passive mode
Used when there is ample battery charge or when the refrigerated vehicle is being employed to transport dry, non-temperature sensitive products. Cargo is protected and AxlePower’s Smart Power Management enters a passive state until AxlePower energy is needed again.
Recuperation mode
Energy is recovered when the tractor is braking or going downhill, charging up the battery and providing you with zero-emission energy to power the unit. There is no impact on the tractor’s overall fuel consumption – while ensuring continuous electric-only operation of the unit.
Active mode
The system detects that there is insufficient battery charge and energy generation to power the unit. The vehicle’s engine will need to pull a little harder, so the activated axle generators can maintain speed and harvest enough power. This is done predominantly on long, flat roads with little braking. Active mode is only used for as long as needed and not a second longer. When traveling uphill, this mode is switched off to ensure the smallest possible impact on tractor fuel consumption.
Active Fast Charge mode
Adapted to more demanding usage profiles, with a less favorable [distance traveled/stationary time] ratio, ensuring the availability of maximum autonomy before each stationary operation phase.
