Assignee: ELECTRANS TECHNOLOGIES LTD.
Field: Transport (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  Y | IPC B

Claim 1:
2. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising:
an energy storing device for storing electrical energy; and
a kinetic energy recovery device coupled to the energy storing device and adapted to recover energy from regenerative braking of the at least one wheel of the at least one pair of wheels,
wherein the at least one wheel and the kinetic energy recovery device are cooperatively configured such that while the first trailer translates with the towing vehicle, and the releasable coupling of the apparatus to the first trailer and to the second trailer is effected, braking by the towing vehicle is with effect that the kinetic energy recovery device converts kinetic energy generated by rotation of the at least one wheel to electrical energy, the electrical energy being stored by the energy storing device.
