The trailer should also be intelligent turning can be more flexible

For many card friends who drive semi-trailers, turning a small bend is often annoying. If you can't turn it over and you need to pour the car again, it is much more troublesome than a bicycle. In response to this problem, WABCO has developed a technology called "OptiTurn" to help improve the steering flexibility of the vehicle.

Trailer Lifting Bridge: Turning up

This technology mainly uses the function of the lifting bridge. When the vehicle turns a large amount, the third axle of the trailer will be lifted automatically. At this time, a three-axle trailer becomes a two-axis trailer, and the small bend can be transferred more easily.

According to the calculation, after lifting the third axle, the distance from the side of the trailer to the inner ring can be increased by at least 50 cm. At this time, on the one hand, it can prevent the wheel from rubbing to the side of the road and reduce the damage to the wheel. On the other hand, it is also possible to reduce pedestrians and bicycles that are swept to the roadside due to blind spots. It is very helpful for improving security.

This system can automatically balance the load distribution on the axle. After the third axle is lifted by the height adjustment of the airbag, the load on the other two axles is still distributed reasonably. When the vehicle leaves the corner, the lifting bridge is automatically lowered to ensure the load bearing performance of the vehicle. 

Follow-up steering: automatic locking at high speed

In addition to the use of lifting bridges, the OptiTurn system can also use the follow-up steering axle to increase the flexibility of the vehicle when cornering, which is similar to the principle of a truck following the steering axle.

With this OptiTurn technology and steering axle locking technology, the trailer can improve the vehicle's loadability and driving stability while improving the flexibility of the vehicle when cornering, reducing tire wear and unnecessary troubles, and it is very convenient to use. of.
