    <title language="eng">Feasibility check, design and dimensioning of a scrounger magnet coupling to a Siemens-E-Highway-truck</title>
    <abstract language="eng">Among other factors, electric vehicles (EVs) were developed with the intention of mitigating the transportation sector’s impact on the environment and the depletion of fossil fuels. While various methods exist to charge electric vehicles (EVs) or extend their driving ranges, each have their benefits and drawbacks. As such, a method to accomplish the latter, i.e., to extend the driving range of an EV – and more specifically, a battery electric vehicle (BEV) – is proposed, which entails magnetically coupling to an electric truck (ET) ahead. This is enabled by a front-mounted system, comprised of a magnetic circuit (MC) and a linear axis (LA), which acts as a drawbridge to extend the MC ahead of the vehicle to a steel plate located at the rear of the ET. By utilising an array of permanent magnets (PMs) and a solenoid within a pot ferrite core (PFC) structure, the proposed system is able to easily generate a coupling force of around 6400 𝑁, which is sufficient to maintain the magnetic couple to the ET ahead, even under slight deceleration of the BEV of 2 𝑚 ⁄ s^2, as it recuperates energy via regenerative braking. With the proposed system, a power gain of 30.24 𝑘𝑊 is achievable in this manner, which allows for a significant improvement to the driving range of BEVs, as well as providing similar benefits as those offered by dynamic charging systems, namely, the convenience, and is thus regarded as a feasible solution, with regard to its performance.</abstract>
