ConMet’s advanced trailer wheel hub technologies may hold the key to making long-range electric trucks a viable option for fleets.
While a great deal of electrification effort is being spent on vehicle propulsion, ConMet eMobility has identified other opportunities for innovation, starting with zero-emission refrigerated trailers.
ConMet eMobility and Carrier Transicold’s new system combines the ConMet PreSet Plus eHub with Carrier’s Vector refrigeration unit to provide fleets a zero-emission solution for commercial trailers.
Commercial vehicle technicians are highly trained experts, but are they ready for what's to come in digitalization and electrification?
Carrier is teaming up with ConMet to expand its electrification capabilities by adding wheel-based power generation that captures energy that otherwise would be wasted during braking events.
The power behind ConMet’s zero-emission trailer comes from its Preset Plus Electric Hub. The in-wheel electric motor is paired with a ConMet PreSet Plus hub assembly, engineered to capture wasted braking energy and repurpose it as electricity.
ConMet’s Preset Plus wheel end hubs will be the standard base specification on all Utility Trailer models.
ConMet’s PreSet Plus SmartHub, a connected health monitoring system built into a hub assembly, will be added to the Road Ready telematics interface.
Goodyear and ConMet are teaming up to create combined tire and wheel-hub digital solutions to connect commercial truck fleets to the health of their tires and wheel ends.
