Electric Vehicles

Electric Vehicles s.r.l. is a company founded in 2013 that

inherited all the positive assets and know-how from two other

companies, enerBLU s.r.l. and VEICoLI s.r.l., that owned more

than 15 year of experience in electric vehicles conversion.

Electric Vehicles s.r.l. core business consists in the conversion

of commercial vehicles into pure electric traction vehicles. We

recently inserted into our catalogue also dual mode vehicles that

allow the driver to choose if to drive in diesel or to drive in

electric ensuring a total range into electric mode of 50 Km.

enerBLU s.r.l. was founded in 2004 by an initiative

of managers, engineers and entrepreneurs from

Modena, with the participation of the ATCM Local

Public Transport Agency of Modena, at the invitation of the

Public Administration with the aim of designing zero-emission

vehicles, "plug-in "(with on-board storage system) and "hybrid"

(with power generator on board) using the most advanced

technology available.

VEICoLI s.r.l. was founded in 1997 by a few technicians,

professionals and researchers, in close collaboration with

the IPSIA Ferrari in Maranello, developing projects, products

and services in two border areas:

-electricity production systems from renewable

sources (sun, wind and water) in the search for innovative

solutions

-- mobility in the zero emission area After many international

experiences that highlight the ability to produce and

promote highly innovative prototypes, in 2000 VEICoLI

s.r.l. strengthens its activities in the production of electric

vehicles.

Our electric vehicles have a range that varies from 50 km up to

200 km according to the customer needs and consequently to the

quantity of cells placed on board.

We convert commercial vehicles for both purposes: goods

transport and/or people transport.

Our range of vehicles varies from small vehicles such as FIAT

FIORINO up to big buses such as VIVACITY or BRAVO fully

electric (98 seats).

Our production capacity in our facility in Modena, Italy, is about

300 hundred electric vehicles per year.

In order to increase our capacity we have created two licensees

one located in Istanbul and one located in Glasgow that have huge

capacity and are able to produce thousands of vehicles per year.

We think it is important to underline that all our vehicles’ range

have FULL EUROPEAN HOMOLOGATION obtained from a

known homologation center located in Germany.

European homologation enables us to sell our electric vehicles all

FIVE will be a building energetically vibrant. The dual photovoltaic

system with thin film technology on the roof is able to produce

257 000 kWh per year, i.e. sufficient energy not only for ensuring

the lighting and the living comfort, but also for its own industrial

production. Even a surplus of 17 000 kWh per year is planned,

which waiting for future use, will be put into the network.

The objectives are to produce at low-energy rate, but high eco-

friendly rate. The factory will have a productive capacity at

maximum speed of 35 000 electric vehicles per year, equal to

3.5% of the European market, and will ensure work to 39 people

altogether.

SOLINGO - The first solar-powered motorbike

The sun will “light up” Solingo, the first electric motorbike able to

use the solar energy as a power source. The photovoltaic panel

installed on the rear top case gives energy for the restarts and

the continuous recharge of the reserve battery for never “be

stranded”.

Provided with a very high operating range ( 115 km at its

maximum configuration), the product has been realized in

cooperation with Rinnova scrl, a research company owned by the

University of Bologna, after three years of research and

development. Solingo inaugurates the category of the

Cityrunners, light and versatile electric vehicles to be used in the city (max. speed 35 km/h), in line with the trends of governments to extend the areas 30.

The economic advantages of Solingo are superlative : the “consumption” is less than 50 cents to 100 km, the maintenance is reduced and there several public incentives: no road tax and government grants for low-emission vehicles. Since Solingo is a totally electric vehicle, does not produce any harmful emissions for the environment and therefore enjoys facilities by local authorities such as access to LTZ areas, closed to normal petrol vehicles.

and allows to set at zero the pollution; 76% reduction in the hybrid

version. The hybrid version of the Free DUCk is equipped with a

small fuel engine that charges the battery pack, allowing an

autonomy of over 150 km. During the vehicle running, the hybrid

function can be deactivated by the driver, e.g., in case of transit in

“zero emission” areas. That means an economical saving because

the consumption cost is lower than 0,01 € per km (0,50 € per full

recharge). Free DUCk is a practical and handy vehicle that can be

driven with mopeds license but compared to them has a better

roadholding and is more stable. The vehicle is homologated for 2

people and presents a very roomy trunk. Free DUCk can be driven

without helmet and safety belt. The small dimensions make the

vehicle usable for diversified applications as mail delivery, local

authority services, street cleaning, fair, airport and port.
