The name for the new model has not yet been invented, called simply ACADEMIC ELECTRO. Pickup - a car intended for commercial use. The authors of the project speak, the pilot version will be transferred to the Botanical Garden - it will come in handy for the transport of goods and two passengers, and also emphasize environmental friendliness. It is known that the battery capacity is 20 kWh, and the stroke reserve is about 150 km.
"At first, with the help of VR-technologies, the cabin and external appearance were simulated, conducted tests on strength, stability, then at the factory made tooling and details," said Onliner Chronology of the Creation of the Pickup Representative of the Joint Engineering Institute of National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Belarus. - The carcass of the body assembled from metal welded pipes from high-strength steel (front and rear). In the middle of the waged solid cabin module - completely plastic. He became carrier. Facing - from the hood to the wings - from fiberglass. Suspension "Donor": in front of the McPherson system, behind a semi-dependent beam with reinforced springs for carriage at least 350 kg in the cargo compartment. "
The battery at 20 kWh is sewn under the floor of the pickup cargo compartment. It is divided into two parts. They say that in the underground behind the seats can be built another part - by 5 kWh. It can accelerate up to 110 km / h, but it was limited to 50 km / h - to not register. It is stated that the car is not intended for public roads, only for closed territories - in particular, enterprises. But it is potentially certified and on lighting, and safety, and other parameters.
This electric car is charging for about two hours. Promise, it will be possible and faster - through the Chademo connector.
As an engine, an electric motor is used in 58 kW produced by Bosch. "The first electromotors that we have developed went into the series - on electricals, - explains the interlocutor. - Now Mogilevliftmash should take on the production of electric motors for more compact machines, not only for heavy. "
"In the passenger segment, we could not have climbed, - emphasizes the employee of the OIM NAS RB. - We believe the electric telecommunications will go uphill later. And commercial transport can be used already without any problems: it is enough to place a socket and a separate meter on the territory of the enterprise. But first of all, this sample is an example of what our team of specialists can do. "
The model is called modular, implying that instead of the cargo compartment, there may be a series of seats or a fully closed cargo van. At the same time, notice that the database can extend - if the customer wants.
In the cabin, the look clings for the mode switching washer (most likely from Nissan Leaf), the steering wheel from Geely, the seat from Lada Xray and the digital instrument panel. Last - own development. As they say, not a masterpiece, but its own. But the place of the multimedia display took the "purchasering" tablet.
