Commercial vehicles and mobile machines account for a significant part of the worldwide economic cycle. Efficiency (TCO) and emission requirements continue to be the driving forces behind optimizing powertrains and vehicles. Given the high power demand, long daily running times and decentralized operating areas of commercial vehicles and mobile machines, no universal alternative is likely to emerge in the foreseeable future for the diesel engine as the standard primary drive. The vehicle’s entire energy structure is moving into the focus of development with the aim of combining different forms of propulsion, energy transfer processes and energy storage systems with the greatest level of efficiency. We also improve efficiency by interconnecting and automating vehicle and machine systems in mobile machines.
