Abstract
A full trailer with a motor-assist system connects with a normal truck to form a hybrid electric vehicle. We developed a prototype full trailer with a motor-assist system and the control technology that enabled dealing with the vehicle fuel consumption and hill-climbing performance at the same time. The vehicle speed was sustained by the motor-assist system on uphill and downhill grades, and we achieved a 28.2% reduction of fuel consumption (L/t⋅km).
