WEEVIL: THE INNOVATIVE THREE-WHEEL ELECTRIC VEHICLE WITH FLASH BATTERY TECHNOLOGY

Can you imagine a three-wheel electric vehicle that parks like a bike and whose lithium battery capacity can be adapted to your needs? Well, now there is one and it’s called WEEVIL!

The result of a project fully funded by the European Commission, WEEVIL was created as part of the H2020 Green Vehicle programme run by the INEA agency. The partners working together on the project were coordinated by TEKNIKER, a Spanish non-profit foundation that has extensive experience in researching automated solutions for the mechanical industry.

This innovative research and development project aimed to create a new, captivating three-wheel, electric light vehicle which can guarantee high safety standards, low energy consumption and a fine Italian design. The purpose is to promote electric mobility based on electric transport systems and thus revolutionise the concept of moving around in city traffic.

Flash Battery interchangeable lithium battery

Flash Battery’s role was to provide its know-how to create two innovative interchangeable lithium battery packs and, at the same time, to help develop the communication protocol with the vehicle’s main control units.

WEEVIL is not just a battery-powered electric vehicle, but rather the answer to our current and future transport needs! And the Flash Battery pack is its heart.

Come and see it for yourself on 4 July 2017 at Flash Battery’s head office in Sant’Ilario D’Enza (RE), where you’ll meet the partners of the WEEVIL project so you can focus on the results achieved so far and determine how the project might develop. You will therefore be able to see the solutions developed by Flash Battery in more detail, a next-gen battery manufacturer, to develop this innovative three-wheel electric vehicle.

A workshop will then be held on Tuesday 4 July at 2:15 pm in the Unindustria Reggio Emilia conference hall, where a WEEVIL prototype will be on display. The inventors and engineers who worked on the project will also be in attendance and will explain the technology behind this new, advanced vehicle. Come and be amazed by how efficient WEEVIL is and by the features of its Flash Battery lithium accumulator. You will learn how this innovative lithium battery works, as well as its benefits in terms of sustainability.

WEEVIL and Flash Battery are developing new, revolutionary technologies in the field of battery-powered vehicles for the transport of the future. Come and discover them by taking part in the workshop. Please sign up online by June 28.

WEEVIL: a new concept of three-wheel electric vehicle

• STRUCTURE. To make WEEVIL light vehicles safer, they are equipped with a fibreglass structure that can absorb shock more effectively.
• THREE-WHEEL SET-UP. Its exclusive design provides this battery-powered vehicle – containing a next-gen lithium battery – with great agility and makes it very easy to drive in city traffic. Thanks to a special mechanism that varies the distance between the 2 front wheels, you can also adapt its structure to different speeds: a greater distance offers better stability at high speed, while a shorter distance lets the vehicle move with greater agility through city traffic and find a parking space even in small spaces.
• MAGNET-FREE MOTOR PROJECT. The innovations introduced by WEEVIL start from the inside, with a new electric motor featuring the most cutting-edge “magnet-free” technology, which doesn’t use any rare materials unlike most other electric motors. The WEEVIL motor project includes a modular system that can offer constant power, great reliability and truly outstanding performance.
