eHub

Electrification at the Wheel End

With the unmatched wheel end expertise of ConMet, ConMet eMobility is meeting the need for clean energy with its first innovation—the PreSet Plus Electric Hub (eHub™). The eHub integrates an electric motor with an industry-leading PreSet Plus hub assembly to capture regenerated energy that would otherwise go wasted as heat from friction brakes.

Supplies robust power generation
Reduces friction brake use
Offers easy wheel end and brake maintenance
no high-volt experience or training required
Provides a lightweight hybrid electrification option
Features modular packaging for a variety of applications

Zero Emission Reefer Trailer

Regenerated Energy to Power eTRU

Leveraging the flexibility of the eHub design, ConMet eMobility produced an in-wheel electrification system for zero-emission refrigerated trailers. The stored battery energy captured by the eHub powers an electric TRU to keep the trailer cool and powers the eHub motors to propel the vehicle forward.

Eliminates the need for diesel fuel for the TRU
Improves overall vehicle fuel efficiency
Optimized controls and battery pack sizes can accommodate any route
Allows for access to emission and noise restricted urban zones
Regenerative power eliminates the need for shore power
Can be paired with an electric tractor for a fully zero-emission vehicle
Reduces friction brake wear

How it Works

Patent-pending controls balance regeneration, auxiliary power use, and propulsion assist to optimize energy harvesting and ensure the TRU is always keeping valuable cargo cool. The eHub system can also utilize stored battery energy to power the eHub motors to propel the vehicle forward.

Commercial Vehicle Electrification

A building block for electrification

The current production design of the eHub is aligned with Class 7 and Class 8 vehicles, paving the way for applications far beyond the reefer. The eHub is capable of achieving zero-emissions for a host of vehicles from long-haul interstate transportation to intra-urban transit; from utility trucks to delivery vans.
