We designed a universal rear axle for the TheWheel™ SM500/2FE traction system. The dark green colored section can easily be installed to the same mounting points found on this commonly used type of rear axle. The original brake system can be installed to maintain the vehicle's compliance with the homologation requirements.

Maintaining the original brake system means that all the original test data have remained valid and will facilitate the approval process by the regulatory bodies. For practical purposes though this braking system will rarely be used. To optimize energy efficiency the e-Traction® Bus will mostly rely on regenerative braking, whereby the kinetic energy is converted back into electricity. The conventional brake system will only be used in emergency braking situations and for parking.
