Pusher trailer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pusher trailers are gasoline or diesel fueled trailers with a traditional internal combustion engine (petroleum engines) and transmission which can be hitched up to Battery electric vehicles and run from the cockpit to give the vehicle increased range.
The trailer provides ground traction through the wheels to push the trailer forward, and by default, the electric vehicle as well. In this way, a trip beyond the normal range of the EV can be undertaken without stopping for recharging.
