Electric Assisted Vehicles Limited (EAV) has produced a low voltage connected actively cooled eCargo bike, which it claims is super-efficient, with the help of DENSO Corporation, a mobility technology supplier and Fortune Global 500 company.
The project with DENSO Corporation involves developing and engineering a new EAV eCargo, which has already been named the EAV2Cool. It provides a sustainable solution to delivering items that need to be kept chilled.Adam Barmby, Founder and CEO of EAV said: “We know there’s significant interest in the market for a fully connected actively cooled eCargo vehicle rather than just packing cooled goods into highly insulated packaging and trying to minimise temperature gain.
We’re now enthusiastically looking for partners who operate cold chain deliveries or who have a requirement for chilled products distribution, to work with on pilot programmes of the EAV2Cool by the autumn and we’ll be launching the production version with DENSO at the IAA in Hannover during September.”
The 2Cool will feature a 1.4m3 rear compartment, fully connected and actively chilled to an operating temperature of between 2C – 5C which can be sustained for 10 hours in 30C ambient heat.
Nesh Cvetkovic, Director Connected Services at DENSO International Europe said: “A significant proportion of that last mile traffic requires the option of active cooling that is connected and dynamically traceable, especially with food and pharmaceuticals. To provide this capability, DENSO’s innovation team entered into a collaborative engineering programme with EAV, who are the leaders in micromobility solutions, to produce the EAV2Cool.”
According to EAV, the effectiveness of the connected active cooling system will also allow the EAV2Cool to be able to be used for street vending in any location keeping food and drinks fresh. This should also open up new and interesting opportunities for the ground-breaking EAV2Cool-DENSO project.” WhichEV - link - Shumaila Iftikhar - link - more like this (Germany) - link - more like this (electric delivery) - link
