AxLectric as a battery swap system
An electrical retrofit package with the option to efficiently interchange batteries and avoid losing uptime during time-consuming battery charging.
Increased uptime for electric vehicles
The existing electric commercial vehicles have uptime limitations due to a lack in range and a too long battery charging time. A battery swap system in combination with a smart speed limiter makes it possible for vehicle owners to drive more electric kilometres per day.
Optimum between fleet and battery
Logistics is complex, routes and arrival times vary from day to day. A limited and fixed range with time-consuming charging times makes the deployment of the vehicles even more complex, especially when demand varies rapidly. By being flexible in range and charging time with the help of modular swappable battery packages, complexity can be controlled.
AxLectric for LCVs
The following benefits will arise through the electrification of existing light commercial vehicles:
Up-cycling of existing fleet
The amortised vehicle can be used again. The investment in just the powertrain offers the additional advantage of getting more "real" electric range than the car manufacturer offers on its electric LCVs. As end-result, superior performance compared to currently offered LCVs.
A new calculation on the cost price per kilometre
Due to the significantly longer technical lifespan compared to conventional vehicles, a new cost price per km calculation is possible. Namely due to the longer depreciation period.
Investment in a secondary energy storage facility
The batteries can be used directly as a secondary energy storage facility due to a bidirectional charging protocol developed in-house in the battery. As a result, less load on the charging infrastructure. After the batteries are no longer usable for the vehicle, they can be used as a fixed secondary energy storage facility.
AxLectric for GSE vehicles
Large airports in Europe have set themselves the goal of deploying all ground support equipment (GSE) emission-free by 2025. GSE have a long amortisation period due to the few kilometres they make compared to other commercial vehicles. If replacement of the vehicles is not necessary yet, electrifying the existing vehicles with an AMTeK inspection is a good first step.
Up-cycling of existing fleet
By investing only in the powertrain and not in the entire vehicle, the conversion to fully electric is more cost-efficient than the purchase of a new electric vehicle.
No influence on current uptime requirement
By converting the existing vehicle, it is possible to optimize on battery size, whereby uptime is leading in the consideration.
Investment in a secondary energy storage facility
The batteries can be used directly as a secondary energy storage supply, due to a bidirectional charging module in the battery. As a result, less load on the charging infrastructure. After the batteries are no longer usable for the vehicle, they can be used as a fixed secondary energy storage facility.
No maintenance on the drivetrain
The drivetrain is wear-resistant, reducing maintenance costs on the vehicle.
