The topic of this diploma thesis is design of road truck using electric drive. The main goal is to solve analyzed problems, which are reflected in the conceptual design of the vehicle that meets the ergonomic, technical and visual aspects.

The diploma thesis deals with the issue of braking trucks at different loads. The theoretical part defines the basic construction of trucks, truck brakes, the braking process and the factors that affect braking, braking deceleration, and legislative requirements for truck brakes. The practical part describes the course of experimental measurements, the use of the technique, the place of measurement, atmospheric conditions and used trucks. At the end of the work, based on experimental measurements, the obtained values of braking deceleration of trucks are evaluated.

With the transport sector switching to electric energy to reduce greenhouse gas emission, the supply and demand in the energy system are impacted by this transition. Meanwhile, there are not a lot of studies focus on the electrification of the vehicle fleet in Sweden. To fill up the knowledge gap, the paper aims to identify the total required electrical energy and power for the electrification of the vehicle fleet in Sweden. This includes switching passenger vehicles, light and heavy trucks, and buses to battery electric vehicles. An Electric Vehicle Power Demand Model is designed to answer the research question. It is a simplified model that can calculate energy consumption and power demand from an electric vehicle fleet. To simulate the charging schedule, four scenarios are created with differences in charge speed and the use of smart or unregulated charging. Based on the model, the electric vehicle fleet consumes 20.4 TWh of electricity per year, accounting for 14.7% of total demand in Sweden. Combing the vehicle fleet with other energy services, an average hourly peak load of 16.2 GW in summer and 24.3 in winter can be seen, while the available capacity in Sweden is around 27.1. The result indicates that the current Swedish energy system is capable of handling demand from charging the electric vehicle fleet in terms of power capacity for most times. However, undersupply may happen in some extreme condition during the winter due to higher consumption from other energy services. Furthermore, with the increasing share of renewable power in the system, the availability of these power plants can have a direct impact on the supply. This requires smart charging to shift the charging events to prevent peak hours, which can potentially decrease the peak loads up to 2 GW in EV charging demand during peak hours. However, the actual effect of it still requires more study. Lastly, the model created for the research can be used as a research or decision-making tool to estimate the impact of a group of electric vehicles in the future, therefore, contribute to the development of the sustainable energy transition.

This thesis deals with the general principle of technology as a partial freight logistics center services ČSAD Hodonín, as The paper first lists and describes the activities related to the operation of logistics centers, which are further supplemented by an analysis of the operation, focusing on the loading, unloading and transfer batches of different manufacturing companies. This thesis is further supplemented by a theoretical approach with potential applications in the actual operation. The result is then draft general technological progress in the transportation of goods from the factory to the logistics center using its own freight.

The main purpose of this diploma thesis is to design a swing axle of a truck for 4x4 chassis without wheel reduction gears. The study consist of two parts. The first part contains designs of main parts of the axle, mechanism of suspension and steering. The second part contains the gears housing stress analysis using the finite element method. The housing of gears is the arm of the swing axle, which is the main part of the chassis.

Master thesis concerns with a design of a low profile loader. This work deals with concept design of a loader, while keeping with ergonomic, economical and psychological aspect dictated by modern society and technological know-how of today’s world with possible overview in to a near future. By extrapolating of a today’s technological development, this thesis is looking in to a design of a loader which is a solution for a lot of contemporary problems and improves utility value. The design improves working environment of operators as well as economical gain of the owners.

This thesis is focused on building a replacement torsion system of drivetrain of 8x8 and 8x4 trucks and subsequent computational analyses of built systems. There were made two analyses. The first one is a computational analysis of the shapes of vibration and The second one is a sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis is studying effect on the size of the natural frequencies under the effect of gear ratio.

The aim of this thesis is an analysis of bending vibrations of the heavy duty truck transmission and a design of construction modifications. The next target is to evaluate the contribution of the construction modification. In the thesis is also performed analysis of shaft support stiffness.

This thesis deals with braking effect of the truck’s engine. The theoretical part introduces the reader to the basic construction of trucks, describes most using engine and defines the factors having a significant effect on engine braking. In the practical part the reader is familiar with the technique used in making the measurement and description of the vehicle chosen for the implementation of measurement. The result of the practical part is the values obtained by measurement including their interpretation contained in the conclusion.

This theses deals with mechatronic approach to a vehicle dynamics. It is divided into two main parts. There are prepared vibration analysis, measurement and analysis of functions of truck powertrain in the first part. The second part describes the creation of computational models allowing to simulate driving conditions, vibrations of the vehicle and its extension for the development of mechatronic systems. There are shown different driving modes to control created algorithm of mechatronic system. The main tool for the development of mechatronic systems is the created simulator of vehicle enabling testing of computational models in real time.
