SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRIFICATION OF FUEL-POWERED VEHICLES

Claims

The present invention describes a system and method for electrifying a fuel-powered vehicle. Specifically, the present invention comprises an electrification system for a vehicle comprising an electric motor coupled to a combustion engine, defining a transformer assembly that converts the energy from the fuel supplied to the vehicle into electrical energy to be stored in an energy storage device and provide electric torque to at least one axle of the vehicle. In this way, the present system allows the vehicle to be propelled 100% electrically from the fuel supplied to the vehicle, enabling the vehicle to operate continuously without the need for long refueling breaks. The present invention falls within the fields of automotive, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering, focusing on solutions for the electrification of freight transport vehicles.
