Abstract: A power control system may include at least one of batteries, a motor, and a data logic analyzer that can interpret certain variable conditions of a transport, such as a tractor trailer, moving along a road or highway. The data can be used to determine when to apply supplemental power to the wheels of a trailer to reduce fuel usage. One example device may include at least one of a power source affixed to a trailer to capture energy from movement of an axle of the trailer, and a motor powered by the power source to operate and provide movement assistance to the axle.

Abstract: A through the road (TTR) hybridization strategy is proposed to facilitate introduction of hybrid electric vehicle technology in a significant portion of current and expected trucking fleets. In some cases, the technologies can be retrofitted onto an existing vehicle (e.g., a truck, a tractor unit, a trailer, a tractor-trailer configuration, at a tandem, etc.). In some cases, the technologies can be built into new vehicles. In some cases, one vehicle may be built or retrofitted to operate in tandem with another and provide the hybridization benefits contemplated herein. By supplementing motive forces delivered through a primary drivetrain and fuel-fed engine with supplemental torque delivered at one or more electrically-powered drive axles, improvements in overall fuel efficiency and performance may be delivered, typically without significant redesign of existing components and systems that have been proven in the trucking industry.

Abstract: Through-the-road (TTR) hybrid designs using control strategies such as an equivalent consumption minimization strategy (ECMS) or adaptive ECMS are implemented at the supplemental torque delivering electrically-powered drive axle (or axles) in a manner that follows operational parameters or computationally estimates states of the primary drivetrain and/or fuel-fed engine, but does not itself participate in control of the fuel-fed engine or primary drivetrain. Crowdsourced distributions of adaptations and/or selections of BSFC type data allow ECMS implementations (or other similar control strategies) employ efficiency curves for a particular paired-with fuel-fed engine and/or operating conditions and to improve overall efficiencies of the TTR hybrid configuration. In some cases, signatures are used to identify appropriate BSFC type data for crowdsourced dissemination.

Abstract: An energy store tank assembly includes a tank adapted for mounting to a frame of a tractor-trailer vehicle by a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is coupled to the frame, and the mounting bracket extends around, and in contact with, a circumference of the tank to secure the tank to the frame. The energy store tank assembly further includes an energy store disposed within the tank, the energy store configured to supply electrical power to the tractor-trailer vehicle in a first mode of operation and further configured to receive energy from the tractor-trailer vehicle in a second mode of operation. In some embodiments, the tank includes an electrical interface through which the energy store supplies the electrical power to the tractor-trailer vehicle in the first mode of operation and through which the energy store receives energy from the tractor-trailer vehicle in the second mode of operation
