E-trailer
This page provides the steps on how to model e-trailer project from e-Traction. e-trailer project is a concept project from e-Traction in which e-trailer is a normal trailer that has an electric motor mounted to one of its axle.
The ultimate goal of this project is to increase energy efficiency [kWh/km] hence reducing operating cost.

Creating the simulation
All of the component modules used in this simulations can be downloaded from (insert e-trailer folder)
The first step in creating this simulation is the same as the example simulation for Parallel Hybrid vehicle simulation. Click here to learn more.
Test scenarios
The test scenarios that will be used for this simulation is the so-called WHVC (World Harmonized Vehicle Cycle).
To get the same result as the simulation result presented below, do not change any global surrounding environment variable inside the parameter_main file.
