Electric bus

What is the danger

In the event of failure of the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication of the traction chain when the vehicle is stopped or in departure mode, the absence of information at low speed can block the rear axle when the driver expects it to follow the departure mode rule. That results in a deviation in trajectory, increasing the risk of an accident.
