A new electric-powered trailer prototype is demonstrating innovative self-towing capabilities, leveraging battery technology to integrate software-controlled electric motors directly into its wheels. Unlike traditional trailers, this design eliminates the need for a separate vehicle to assist with maneuvering, potentially revolutionizing how heavy loads are transported. The system’s software-driven features suggest a shift toward more autonomous and efficient towing solutions. Engineers and industry observers are likely watching closely as this concept could redefine logistics and transportation efficiency.
The Flow’s battery power enables software-based features including the trailer’s ability to help tow itself with electric motors in its two wheels. See link below ⬇️ 📸 Mark Phelan/Detroit Free Press Facebook
