AI Technical Summary
Existing vehicles lack a versatile and efficient power take-off (PTO) system that can temporarily connect and power auxiliary equipment, as fixedly installed PTOs are unsuitable for temporary connections and standardized PTOs are not compatible with various types of auxiliary equipment.
A vehicle with a rear axle that can be raised and lowered, equipped with an air suspension and individual wheel brakes, and a PTO device with a connection bracket and interface adaptable to different types of auxiliary equipment, allowing temporary connection and power transfer.
Enables flexible and efficient power transfer to auxiliary equipment using a PTO device that can be easily attached and detached, supporting a wide range of equipment types without the need for permanent installation.
