Electrodynamic moving-off element

MAN EDA concept is examining the stop-start automatic system, the requirement-specific electric drive for secondary units, the implementation of the clutch function, the synchronization of gear changes with the aid of an electrodynamic moving-off element (EDA) and the booster function for extra power. A clutch is a mechanism for transmitting rotation which can be engaged and disengaged This is the page for mechanical Gears For other uses see Gear (disambiguation For the gear-like device used to drive a roller chain see Sprocket

Two distribution vehicles with parallel hybrid drives are currently being tested: one vehicle features a starter-alternator (MAN TGL OPTISTRANG) integrated in the clutch housing, the other vehicle, an MAN TGL EDA, is equipped with an electrodynamic moving-off element (EDA) developed together with ZF Friedrichshafen. alternator is an electromechanical device that converts mechanical energy to Alternating current electrical energy ZF Friedrichshafen AG is a leading worldwide supplier of driveline and Chassis technology

The TGL EDA combines the fuel-saving potential of a hybrid drive with the advantages of a wear-free moving-off element. One of the main benefits of the EDA is its compactness; all components can be accommodated in the standard clutch housing. The diesel engine and the electric motor can either be used simultaneously or alternatively. On stopping both the diesel engine and the electric motor switch off thus the TGL EDA does not use any fuel nor does it produce any emissions or noise. As soon as the driver puts the vehicle in gear, the electric motor starts the diesel engine and simultaneously sets the vehicle in motion.
