- ZF-Friedrichshafen-AG, Erwin-Hymer-Group & FKFS teamed up to provide solutions for challenges mobile vacationing is facing today: Together we are developing a new type of caravan, featuring an electric axle, battery and control system: This project offers a promising solution to renew caravanning in the EV-age; extending electric towing cars range, increasing conventional vehicles efficiency, while also enabling electric manoeuvring. Homologation of new vehicle types and the lack of similar vehicles on the market requires thorough research and creates demanding requirements regarding functional safety and design. To aid development, validate vehicle dynamics, and develop safety features, simulation tools were designed.
