An overview of the ZAwheel system structure The axle drive module from ZIEHL-ABEGG Automotive was specifically developed for use as an electrically driven lowfloor axle and can be used in solo buses as a rear-axle drive as well as in articulated buses as a rear-axle drive and/or midaxle drive. Conceptionally, the low-floor system can be utilised for serial hybrid buses as well as for all-electric city buses and is deployed for city buses with maximum axle loads of up to 13.000  kg. Eliminating about 80% of the moving parts in the drive train makes ZAwheel the leader in: ▪ Total efficiency...

The systems components in detail The drive concept: A gearless single-wheel drive using a liquidcooled permanent-magnet energized synchronous motor (PMSM) with integrated power electronics. The combination of two driven axles and single-wheel drive produces advantages for both the tyre wear as well as for the traction. The axle drive module comprises the low-floor frame, in wheel hub drives with integrated power electronics and the rims, brakes, brake disks, and sensors for temperature, ABS, motor speed and tachometer. That adds up to a maximum drive power of 364  kW per axle and provides a...

The deployment of ZAwheel has many opportunities Solo buses Articulated buses Airport buses Double-decker buses Waste collection vehicles Special vehicles in underground mining

The comparison demonstrates: ZAwheel is the eco-friendly future Minimising the energy-demand and maximising the efficiency Conventional systems, such as central-motor and electric portal axle for hybrid and electric vehicles, are equipped with a multi-speed transmission, differential, summation or simple reducing gears. This is detrimental to noise, drive efficiency, energy regeneration, weight, space requirements and maintenance. ZAwheel, the gearless electric direct-drive with in wheel hub drives is consequently omitting any kind of Central-motor Diesel motor/ electric motor The in wheel...

New vehicle or electrical retrofit : Retrofitting existing commercial vehicles as an advantageous alternative In Europe, diesel engines are the main drives for trucks and buses. Around the world, reliable engines power the city, airport, sightseeing or double-decker buses plus municipal commercial vehicles and special vehicles in underground mines. Despite the many advantages, diesel engines emanate large amounts o f toxic p ar t ic les and nit r ogen ox ides an d c a u s e significant noise emissions. So a large part of urban air pollution from existing fleets is caused by old, heavily...
