The e-Delivery is equipped with pneumatic suspension for greater comfort and operational safety. The suspension development is completely new, specifically designed for your application. It has four pockets in the traction axle. The 14-tonne model adds two on the auxiliary, which the driver can also suspend when the implement is empty, reducing tire wear and rolling resistance, making the vehicle even more efficient.
The suspension comes with an electronic management system that controls its entire operation and allows for a series of intelligent solutions. There is a reading of load per axle, which makes it easier for the operator to make the correct load distribution. It also adjusts the height from keys on the panel, facilitating implement loading operations. When climbing steep slopes, the operator has the option of raising the load on the drive axle, increasing the grip with the ground and preventing the vehicle tires from slipping during the climb.
This efficient management also dynamically monitors the height of the pockets, and activates the air system only when necessary, which helps to reduce air consumption and consequently energy.
The main focus of the development of this project was to optimize the weight and reliability of each component, with intense work on virtual simulations and structural calculation. This also involved the development of a robust chassis for this type of application, as well as the new patented concept for modular installation of the batteries in the vehicle, reducing as much as possible the efforts in the set. All to support the additional weight of the batteries while maintaining the vehicles’ payload capacity.
