Today’s technological change into alternative power trains is having massive impact beyond the vehicle itself. Tests are showing that air streamed electric vehicles are reduced by half in reach towing a trailer, especially a caravan. In order to compensate for the significant loss of traveling distance with a single battery charge EHG, ZF and FKFS are designing a battery electric propelled caravan.

    In addition to the technical aspects that have already been presented, the approval of powered trailers poses various regulatory challenges. A vehicle category or definition for powered trailers does not yet exist and must therefore be newly created in coordinated association work and in close cooperation with the relevant approval authorities.

    The additional weight that is created by the drive components represents further requirements in terms of driving license and trailer load. The limit of 3.5 t should be emphasized here. Compensation for the additional weight is therefore necessary.
