Kendrion helps to reduce fuel consumption
by up to 20%
For most people, a wheel loader with 100 horsepower is not necessarily the first thought when it comes to "hybrid vehicles". However, hybrid technology is increasingly being used in off-highway vehicles, offering new ways to increase efficiency and meet the demands of emission regulations.
Off-highway hybrid vehicles have a combustion engine and an electric motor. Our clutch connects and disconnects these systems so that these vehicles can be driven purely electrically or only by the combustion engine. If peak torque is required, the drive systems are combined. This approach combines the zero-emission targets while allowing the full power of traditional diesel engines for special requirements. We can draw on 20 years of experience in the construction of electromagnetic clutches for hybrid vehicles. The systems are used at airports in baggage transporters. The clutch solutions from KENDRION will meet your requirements which a modern hybrid drive brings with it.
