The Road to Zero for heavy-duty vehicles is long and complicated, requiring significant changes to infrastructure before the whole journey can become zero emissions.Project ZERAUD was funded by Innovate UK IDP 15 to assess the feasibility of putting electric drive onto a semi-trailer to allow the tractor unit to operate as usual, but for the semi-trailer to (effectively) push the combination around town with Zero Tailpipe Emissions. Providing 75miles zero emissions range to a truck covering 500miles/day gives a net 15% reduction in CO2 - Legislation requires a 15% reduction by 2025\.This project aims to produce a prototype electrified semi-trailer that can be coupled to a tractor unit for proof of concept work and for demonstration to end users / potential investors in preparation for larger scale trials and pre-production development work.Clairvaux Ltd produced detail drawings and applied for a patent for installing an electric drive system on a chariot which provides the interface between tractor unit and semi-trailer, as part of the Feasibility Study. In this R&D project, we will work with a UK semi-trailer manufacturer to produce a complete trailer with chariot and electric drive. We will also develop the communications between tractor & semi-trailer so that the electric drive responds at the right time to the accelerator & brake signals, making the switch from diesel to electric and back again as smooth and unnoticeable as possible.By equipping specialist urban trailers with the zero emissions capability for the whole truck-trailer combination, the move to Net Zero Transport can be accelerated - by changing the shorter, lighter-weight journeys to electric sooner than long-distance, heavy haulage journeys - and an immediate improvement in Urban Air Quality.We aim to include a major supermarket and a global parcels delivery company in our demonstration programme to provide commercial credibility to the concept.

重型车辆的零排放之路漫长而复杂，在整个旅程实现零排放之前，需要对基础设施进行重大改变。ZERAUD项目由Innovate UK IDP 15资助，旨在评估将电力驱动安装在半挂车上以使拖拉机单元正常运行的可行性，但半挂车可以(有效)推动零尾气排放的联合收割机在城镇周围行驶。为一辆行驶500英里/天的卡车提供75英里零排放里程，净减少15%的二氧化碳排放-立法要求到2025年减少15%。该项目旨在生产一种电气化半挂车原型，可以连接到拖拉机单元进行概念验证，并向最终用户/潜在投资者进行演示，为更大规模的试验和试生产开发工作做准备。Clairvaux Ltd制作了详细图纸，并申请了在战车上安装电驱动系统的专利，该系统提供拖拉机单元和半挂车之间的接口，作为可行性研究的一部分。在这个研发项目中，我们将与一家英国半挂车制造商合作，生产一辆带有战车和电驱动的完整拖车。我们还将开发牵引车和半挂车之间的通信，以便电动驱动在正确的时间对油门和刹车信号做出反应，使从柴油到电动再到电动的转换尽可能平稳和隐蔽。通过为专业城市拖车配备整个卡车-拖车组合的零排放能力，可以加快向净零运输的转变-通过将较短、较轻的旅程改为电动，而不是长途、重型运输-并立即改善城市空气质量。我们的目标是在我们的示范计划中包括一家大型超市和一家全球包裹递送公司，以提供商业可信度。
