RE-EV hybrid bike prototype by Modenas, MIMOS and UniMAP – a Malaysian design first?

Throughout the launch of the TailG Ebixon electrical scooters, the Daring and Torq, a prototype bike was seen on show. This was the RE-EV, a prototype hybrid bike produced in a collaboration between Malaysia’s nationwide utilized analysis and improvement centre MIMOS and Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UNIMAP) in addition to bike maker Modenas.

The collaboration was divided into MIMOS taking care of the styling and design whereas Modenas was liable for the manufacturing of the prototype, whereas UniMAP is presently conducting analysis and simulations. The acronym RE-EV stands for Vary Prolonged Electrical Automobile, signifying using each an inside combustion engine (ICE) and battery energy, much like different hybrid automobiles.

This useful rolling prototype is to conduct analysis into elevated journey distance in addition to gas saving. With two batteries put in, the RE-EV is able to travelling a distance of 200 km on battery energy alone.

Primarily based on testing carried out, when the RE-EV is used with each ICE and battery energy, a journey distance of 330 km was recorded. The lithium-ion batteries within the RE-EV are swappable if needed and the ICE can be utilized in isolation ought to battery cost run out, eliminating points with vary nervousness.

At there second, two RE-EV prototypes exist – one situated in UniMAP in Perlis and the opposite at MIMOS. In a press release from MIMOS, the RE-EV mission is beneath the federal government’s Excessive Worth-Added and Advanced Product Growth Programme (HVA). This programme is to raise the potential and effectivity of the Malaysian manufacturing sector to provide prime quality value-added merchandise.

Hopefully, with the push in direction of electrical automobiles worldwide, we are going to quickly see a Malaysian designed and produced hybrid bike. What do you suppose? Go away a remark together with your ideas and opinions beneath.
