SINBON Electronics becomes the latest contributing member to the Swappable Batteries Motorcycle Consortium (SBMC)
While the worldwide electrification effort to reduce CO on a global scale is accelerating, the Motorcycle Industry's intention is to expand the usage of electric motorcycles. To disseminate them, several challenges are to be addressed, such as range extension, shorter charging time, and lowering vehicle and infrastructural costs.
The SBMC was initiated by global players Honda Motor, KTM F&E, Piaggio Group and Yamaha Motor who united to accelerate the deployment of electric motorcycles and L-Vehicles. The consortium's ambition is to promote joint industrial specifications accredited public standardisation bodies to become industry-wide standards for swappable batteries and swapping systems, foster the infrastructure for such batteries for common use, and ensure that motorcycles and L-Vehicles maintain their role in future mobility. This will make small electric vehicle batteries more economical, help preserve resources and – more importantly - make them more convenient for customers.
The SBMC aims to:
SINBON is an innovative global designing and manufacturing company, with 4 out of the world's top 10 EV charging companies adopting SINBON solutions. Thanks to its expertise in electric vehicle charging connectivity, SINBON's solutions improve overall sustainability and help address one of the global challenges, climate change. The group quickly expands their know-how and experiences from the standardized automotive applications into a more bespoke market such as the autonomous and micro-mobility applications.
SINBON's technology focuses on achieving higher electrical current and extending the charging interface's life cycle, making it ideal for swapping and shared mobility applications.
"Tech for good" says Barrie Ryan , president of SINBON Europe. "SINBON is bringing now to the consortium innovative design which can help draw maximum electrical input/output to extend riding range and to shorten charging time, but also the manufacturing know-how on how to lower vehicle and infrastructure cost so this common platform can be achieved. By this continuous effort we hope to bring cleaner and more sustainable mobility solutions to transform our economies, lives and our planet."
