SAF-HOLLAND's electric axles for traction assistance and regenerative braking protect the environment – ​​both during production and during driving. The trailer's fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and particulate emissions are reduced by regenerative braking in the SAF TRAKr. In addition, the drive in the tractor in difficult road conditions is supported by the SAF TRAKe axle. SAF-HOLLAND has also eliminated the use of rare earth metals and copper in the production of electric shafts.

From 2022: Series production
The electric trailer axles are, for example, used to operate refrigeration units in refrigerated vehicles using only electricity. Currently ten pre-series vehicles are already on the road in Europe and another in Australia. Another 50 pre-series vehicles are planned for 2022.
