Abstract: Disclosed is a method for determining one or more tractor units for a tractor-trailer in a system including a plurality of electrically driven tractor units. Each tractor unit is configured to form a tractor-trailer with a respective trailer and to tow the respective trailer. The method includes: receiving a first item of transport order information, representing a loading position and an unloading position, receiving first items of tractor unit information representing a current position of the respective tractor unit and an estimated current range of the respective tractor unit, determining the first tractor unit in order to form a first tractor-trailer for transporting the goods along a first section of a transport route, the determination of the first tractor unit being performed while considering the first item of transport order information and the first items of tractor unit information.

Abstract: A trailer, in particular a utility trailer, for road vehicles on which an extendable current collector or an electrical contact element for an inverted current collector is placed.

Abstract: A utility vehicle trailer having a vehicle electrical distribution system. The vehicle electrical distribution system includes a control unit having a first voltage transformer device. The electrical energy for operating at least one consumer connected to the control unit in a first operating state of the control unit is provided via an energy supply connection, via which the vehicle electrical distribution system is connected, at least in the first operating state, to an electrical energy source of an electronic braking system of the utility vehicle trailer. Electrical energy for operating the at least consumer in a second operating state of the control unit is provided by an electrical energy store of the utility vehicle trailer. The first voltage transformer device is configured to decouple a first ground potential connected to the energy supply connection from a second ground potential connected to the electrical energy store of the utility vehicle trailer.

Abstract: A box body for a commercial vehicle, which has a surface element having a panel, includes a core layer, a dimensionally stable structural layer and an intermediate layer, one side thereof being adjacent to the core layer and an opposite side being adjacent to the structural layer. An integrally joined connection is produced between the structural layer and the side of the intermediate layer and between the core layer and the side of the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer has a thickness smaller than the thickness of the structural layer and consists of a material having a density that is higher than the density of the core layer. The side of the intermediate layer adjacent to the core layer has an affinity to the foamed plastic of the core layer and the side of the intermediate layer adjacent to the structural layer has an affinity to the structural layer.

Abstract: An insulating panel for a commercial vehicle superstructure, with an outer top layer and an inner top layer, including more than two plies, and with a core layer in a thermally insulating material between the top layers. At least one of the top layers is constructed as an at least three-ply sandwich, including an outer ply in light metal material associated with the respective outside of the insulating panel, an inner ply in light metal material associated with the core layer and a core ply having an integrally joined connection to the outer ply and the inner ply, including a core ply material having a higher strength than the light metal material of the outer and inner ply.

Abstract: The invention relates to an axle assembly for a commercial vehicle, having an axle produced from a first metal material and at least one trailing link produced from a second metal material which has a connecting portion with a seat which the axle sits with a hollow coupling portion such that the axle and the trailing link are in torque-proof engagement with one another.
