What Emerging Trends Are Shaping The Trailer Axle Market Landscape?
In the trailer axle industry, progress in technology is a significant trend. Leading companies in the trailer axle sector are pioneering novel technologies like the e-axle to maintain their market positions. The e-axle represents one or more electric motors amalgamated with power-control electronics, two- or three-speed reduction gearing, and the central axle. For example, in 2022, Woolworths Group, a retailer based in Sydney, performed tests on Australia's pioneering ''e-axle trailer,'' a design that generates electricity from the kinetic energy of its axle and wheels. The electricity generated from the axle and wheels of the trailer is stored in a battery that powers the refrigeration system while cutting down on diesel usage.
