An example operation includes one or more of obtaining charge by a transport via a first charging capability while traveling along a route to a destination and re-routing the transport to obtain additional charge via a secondary charging capability while decreasing a travel time to the destination.

A system, method and apparatus for multi-fuel, range extending power generation applied to propulsion in a vehicle. One or more fluid fuels including diesel and natural gas and/or their renewable counterparts of Biodiesel or Renewable Natural Gas are stored on board a vehicle and selectively supplied to an onboard electrical generator according to sensor measurements analyzed by a processor directing power generation and transmission to motor controllers and motors providing vehicle propulsion. The combined natural gas-electric and diesel-electric transmissions control system power generation driving electric motors rather than a diesel engine mechanical connection to axles and wheels. This integrated system provides improved extended range to diesel hauling applications with improved emissions while maintaining torque, and efficiency.

An apparatus comprising an interface, a memory and a processor. The interface may be configured to receive sensor data samples during operation of a vehicle. The memory may be configured to store the sensor data samples over a number of points in time. The processor may be configured to analyze the sensor data samples stored in the memory to detect a pattern. The processor may be configured to manage an application of brakes of the vehicle in response to the pattern.

A system for modifying the range capability of an electric vehicle includes a vehicle body having a front axle and a rear module secured to the vehicle body. The rear module includes a rear axle and the rear module is detachable from the vehicle body and replaceable with another rear module. The rear modules may include different range extension capabilities. The rear modules may include a battery or a combustion engine that may supplement the standard battery and electric motor of the vehicle. A pair of laterally translatable pins of the rear module may be moveable into and out of engagement with the vehicle body. The rear module may also include vertically extending posts that engage with the vehicle body. The vehicle body may be raised to disengage the posts from the vehicle body.

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, an energy storage device supported by the chassis, a body assembly, and a power distribution unit. The energy storage device is configured to provide electrical power to a prime mover. Activation of the prime mover selectively drives the refuse vehicle. The body assembly is configured for storing refuse and is supported by the chassis. The power distribution unit is coupled to the energy storage device and is configured to control power transmission outward from the energy storage device, between the chassis and the body assembly. The body assembly includes a controller that communicates with the power distribution unit to adjust a flow of electrical power from the energy storage device to the body assembly.
