Abstract
Methods and systems for generating power at a vehicle axle to supply sensors and/or actuators are described. In one example, the power is generated via a dynamo that converts rotation of an axle component into electrical energy. The electrical energy may be supplied to a battery, vehicle sensors, and vehicle actuators so that wires may not be routed between a controller and the axle.
