This system will enable production of zero-emission refrigerated trailers.

Meritor noted it is redesigning its trailer suspension and drum brake, including a specifically engineered spindle package, to be compatible with ConMet’s eHub.

The companies will also continue to evaluate jointly what they termed in a release, “the application of industry leading, complementary advanced technologies that address evolving e-mobility market trends.”
