Abstract: A control device and a method for controlling a vehicle is provided. The vehicle comprises an energy storage device, an electric motor, and at least one service brake configured to brake a vehicle wheel. The method comprises, in case it is predicted that the energy storage device will have an insufficient capacity for a desired regenerative braking power during an upcoming braking event, applying a braking force by activating the service brake. The service brake is activated either simultaneously with application of a propulsion force by the electric motor, or in a plurality of consecutive brake phases during which a propulsion by the electric motor is temporarily interrupted, the brake phases separated by a vehicle acceleration phase during which a propulsion force is applied by the electric motor.

Abstract: Disclosed is an axial blower that comprises a substantially circular cylindrical blower pipe wherein, in the blower pipe, a blower stator is provided that includes a central construction arranged in the blower pipe and a number of guide blades being disposed downstream of the blower rotor to the effect that they are, at their proximal ends, secured to the central construction and, at their distal ends, securely mounted to the inner side of the blower pipe, whereby the guide blades and the central construction are secured relative to the blower pipe. The central construction includes a number of separate stator segments that are mutually secured to each other; and wherein each of the guide blades is configured as an integral unit along with one of the stator segments.
