KER-TRAIN HIGH EFFICIENCY DRIVE-BY-WIRE TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS

by Mike Brown; Brent Marquardt

Abstract

Ker-Train Research Inc. has designed and manufactured a 32-speed tracked-vehicle transmission and an 8-speed efficient power take-off fan drive that have been shown through testing to not only increase vehicle performance and overall system efficiency, but also have the ability to be controlled fully drive-by-wire making them excellent candidates for integration into autonomous vehicles.
