A heavy goods vehicle and truck alternator plays the same role as a car alternator: it ensures power to the battery.
How does a heavy goods vehicle and truck alternator work?
The alternator uses copper wire and magnet wire. The copper wire is wound on the magnet. The assembly undergoes a rotation generated by a belt. This mechanical movement ensures the production of electricity from the alternator. Thus, the function of an alternator is to supply the truck's engine with energy while it is operating. When the engine stops, the battery takes over. The latter keeps all the accessories (such as the electronic lock, the clock and the alarm) powered up.
