Vehicle Structure

B5RLE Hybrid has a low entry at the front and in the middle, with fl oor height above the road of just 320 mm, which considerably aids entry and exit. Robust, dependable, lightweight chassis with bolted black steel frame. Thanks to the frame’s low height, the body can be built with two steps at the rearaxle. The frame consists of two modules. The front module is a combination of open channel sections and boxed sections, with structural wheel arches, bolted to a rear module which is substantially tubular withshear panels.

Electrical System

The electrical system is a 24-volt system, where the chassis and engine frame are used as a ground. DC/DC converter provi-des electricity sourced from Electric Motor. 2nd generation Bus Electrical ArchitectureBEA 2 with electronic databus system

Multiplex 2 - a digital system for data transmission, system controlling, monito-ring and coordination of functions of busassemblies, equipped in electronic control units, connected in a two link network fortransmission of data, defect codes, work parameters. Multiplex 2 provides diagnosticinformation for the driver and workshop. Fortesting, calibrating and programming of the bus control units a PC based softwarepackage VCADS Pro is used. The system isequipped with three function main switch:engine shut off, fuel shut off and electricalshut off. Tachograph system is available,analog or digital.Battery capacity..............................2x225 AhDC/DC converter....................7.5 kW/210A
