  • THE ELECTRIC AUXILIARY DRIVE
    OF THE FUTURE (E-PTO)

    ELECTRIC POWER MOVE

MORE VOLUME, LESS WEIGHT

THE BEST IN ITS CLASS

With the new Electric Power Move (EPM), ZOELLER is developing the next generation of electric drives. The system is lighter, more efficient and independent of the chassis – for more volume, less energy consumption and maximum flexibility in electric collection operations. An important step towards sustainable, fully electric waste disposal logistics.

THE NEXT GENERATION
OF ELECTRIC AUXILIARY DRIVES (E-PTO)

The 40 kW electric motor is integrated into the front of the container. The design of the discharge shield leaves sufficient space for the motor and single/dual-circuit gear hydraulic pump. Unlike in combustion engines, the pump is mounted directly on the motor. An integrated HV discharge circuit safely reduces the system voltage to below 60 volts DC in less than 5 seconds after shutdown.

BASIC STRUCTURE:
  • Designation: Electric Power Move (EPM)
  • System type: Electric auxiliary drive for body and lifter
  • Weight: Approx. 100 kg
  • Usable volume: +0,9 m³ thanks to more compact design
  • Compatible chassis: Mercedes-Benz eActros & eEconic, MAN eTGS, Volvo FM Low Entry Electric, DAF Electric, (Scania in preparation)

ADVANTAGES

The EPM can be used independently of body design and chassis, and thanks to its demand-oriented control system it offers best energy efficiency. It enables shorter wheelbases, creating additional space for more battery capacity. In addition, it has OEM approvals and is EMC-certified. Service, spare parts, and diagnostics are all provided from one source.

INCREASED VOLUME

Up to 0.9 m³ volume gain thanks to space-saving EPM technology

SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVED AXLE LOAD

Up to 0.5 % more front axle load thanks to the best possible mounting position

BETTER PAYLOAD

Up to 340 kg more payload based on the permissible axle weights

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Proven to be the most energy-efficient in its class

LESS WEIGHT

Up to 30 % weight saving compared to competitor products (Comparison ZOELLER EPM with OEM E/M-PTOs)

BODY & CHASSIS INDEPENDENT

Full flexibility thanks to a body that is independent of the chassis

HIGHEST QUALITY

OEM approvals & EMC certified

SHORTER WHEELBASES, MORE BATTERY CAPACITY

Up to 80 kWh more battery capacity possible thanks to shorter wheelbases
