What is Eletra?
56x repurposed new HV-Li-Ion batteries providing 23kWh at 24V. Total weight is 165kg only.
Battery packs are charged by either an alternator whilst driving, external 230V supply or solar panels.
Retrofit solution for all enclosed trailers as well as open transporters is available.
Short downtime as only small changes to equipment required.
What are the advantages?
- Fuel saving
- Cost reduction (fuel and maintenance)
- Improved driver comfort
- Less emissions - CO2 and noise pollution reduction
- Retrofit solution
- Short downtime for installation
- System is scalable and adjustable to customer needs

FAQ
-
Open or CloseHow long is the trailer out of service for installation? If no adjustments to the system and equipment are required,
one day installation and one additional day for testing are to be expected. -
Open or CloseIs installation in other makes or types of equipment possible? Yes, the system can be adjusted to all known manufacturers for open or enclosed car transporters. Other fields of application are also imaginable. Effort and installation space needs to be investigated individually as modification of existing equipment might be necessary.
-
Open or CloseDoes the system require maintenance? The system operates on 24-28V. No regular service required.
-
Open or CloseWhat savings can be expected? Very much depending on the field of application
(local or long-haul transport, waiting times/breaks, movements of decks, hours of A/C operation).
Saved fuel is approximately 2l/h if the system is used instead of the engine. No more replacement of trailer’s lead-batteries, used on some transporters today, is necessary. -
Open or CloseWhat are repurposed HV-Li-Ion-batteries? The batteries installed are new goods from the automotive industry, given a different field of use.
Our project saves cells from being scrapped as these either exceeded shelf life or have been made redundant for optical reasons
(labelling) and therefore cannot be used in automotive production.
Both reasons have no influence on function and reliability. -
Open or CloseAre there other possible use cases for the system? Various fields of use, apart from car transporters, are imaginable.
Basically all where an engine powers additional devices, e.g. truck-mounted cranes.
