Modular, compact controller for vehicle auxiliary drives
KEB Automation has launched a modular, scalable combined drive and controller system for hybrid and electric vehicles. The system can be adapted to suit specific customer requirements and associated drive functions, particularly applications in wholly- or partly-electrified trams, buses, trains, agricultural and construction vehicles and Light Commercial Vehicles (LCVs).
Regardless of whether energy is produced or provided by diesel generators, fuel cells, battery packs or supercapacitors, the new Combivert T6 APD (Auxiliary Power Drives) offers a connection or adaptation facility to suit all vehicle energy sources. This means auxiliary drive components such as air conditioning, air compressors, hydraulic pumps, Power Take Off / Shaft substitutes and ventilators can be decoupled from the combustion engine (main drive) and installed in the most cost effective or mechanically favourable position on the vehicle.
