QEV Technologies has signed a strategic alliance with LOBITO LIFE S.L to develop new electric mobility products for leisure activities. The Lobito firm produces and markets electric bicycles of different types, electric scooters, electric surfboards and other accessories that make its users authentic representatives of its motto: "Enjoy Life!". This partnership raises the company's growth and innovation potential to a new level.Daniel Oliver Bultó (founder and administrator of LOBITO LIFE S.L) and Miguel Valldecabres (CEO of QEV Technologies) have signed an agreement whereby the technology company QEV Tech, based in Barcelona, becomes Lobito's technology partner. The objective of this association is to create new and innovative electric mobility products and boost the international growth of the brand.Lobito produces and markets high-end electric bicycles, both mountain and urban, and has in its catalog electric scooters, electric surfboards and a wide range of products, created to enjoy life and free time. On the other hand, QEV Tech has developed supercars like Hispano Suiza Carmen or the Arcfox GT and Zedriv GTxo. They are also still present in Formula E, having been world champions in their first season. The company's motto is "Race to Road" (from road racing), as they transfer their knowledge and accumulated experience in the competition for decades to the products they develop.
Eatron Technologies and WMG, University of Warwick have developed an innovative new approach to estimating accurately an electric vehicle battery’s remaining useful life, helping to unlock additional performance, greater range, and increased levels of safety.Developed with funding from the Faraday Institution, the collaborative project (known as VIPER – Validated & Integrated Platform for battery Remaining useful life) has combined WMG’s advanced electrochemical models with Eatron’s cloud battery management and integration expertise to deliver Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimates that are more than 90% accurate.The condition and performance of a battery changes as the cells within it age over time. If this natural degradation is not monitored closely, it can lead to cell failures with serious consequences. Traditional RUL estimates often rely on simple voltage-based analytics that may miss complex failure conditions, potentially risking the safety of consumers, while others that err on the side of caution may result in perfectly healthy battery packs being unnecessarily rendered unusable.By accurately predicting a battery’s RUL, it becomes possible to extract the maximum performance and longevity from it, without compromising safety.The solution developed by Eatron and WMG can be embedded in an automotive-grade battery management system (BMS) or deployed across a cloud-based platform, a concept that is particularly appealing for fleet applications.In addition, when an automotive battery is eventually redeployed into its second life, it can be accompanied by an accurate picture of its health in the form of a battery passport that negates the need for expensive testing and increases the breadth of its operating window.
More dynamic than ever, featuring a wealth of digital innovations and, for the first time, all-electric drive - this is how the new BMW 5 Series Sedan steps up to the plate. As the BMW i5, the new edition of the world's most successful business sedan takes the lead on the road to sustainable premium mobility in the upper mid-range vehicle segment. Consistent electrification, advanced BMW iDrive display and control system with “QuickSelect“, new digital services, and increased sustainability throughout the entire product life cycle characterise the progress made in the fields of the future which are centrally important in the current transformation of the BMW Group.The market launch of the new BMW 5 Series Sedan will begin in October 2023. The new model generation will be offered worldwide with all-electric drive and, depending on the market region, also with plug-in hybrid systems as well as with highly efficient petrol and diesel engines including 48-volt mild hybrid technology. Like all previous model generations, the new BMW 5 Series Sedan is produced at the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, where the electric motors and high-voltage batteries for the BMW i5 are also manufactured.
