THE SWAPPABLE BATTERIES MOTORCYCLE CONSORTIUM (SBMC) HAS GROWN FROM 4 TO 21 MEMBERS
NIU Technologies Joins SBMC and Commits to Advancing Global Swappable
Battery Technology Standards
BRUSSELS, Sept. 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Founded in September 2021 by KTM, Honda, Piaggio and Yamaha, the Swappable Batteries Motorcycle Consortium (SBMC) has quickly grown to 21 members (and counting).
The mission of the SBMC is to speed up the sending of swappable battery frameworks by creating and advancing new normal specialized particulars towards worldwide and open normalization. In its initial a half year, the consortium made fundamental strides at a unimaginable speed.
Its aim is to ensure full interoperability of swapping batteries to facilitate their application and boost sustainable mobility.
This is what emerged during the SBMC Summit held in July 2022, with 40 of its representatives convened at the KTM Motohall in Mattighofen, Austria. This occasion was the ideal event to think about the headway made over the corsortium’s most memorable semester of presence, and to lay the right foundation for impending exercises towards normalization.
The vision, strategy gand operations of the consortium were established across its members, the committees and working groups. The consortium was equipped with the proper tools and instruments to fulfill its ambitions. The set of relevant technical specifications was agreed upon, and the SBMC’s work streams on prototyping and standardization were successfully kicked off. “We are committed to improving admittance to electric metropolitan versatility through the making of normal principles for swappable batteries. We accept this innovation is critical to the reception of practical 2-wheel city arrangements by lessening charging times, expanding vehicle range, and diminishing expense for end clientsVital positions were additionally taken, among which are the acknowledgment of the SBMC as Formal Contact Part to the CEN-CENELEC and enrollment in CEN-TC301 and CEN-CENELEC JTC-13.
The corsortium’s constructive approach has enabled it to overcome the technical challenges of developing interconnected and compatible systems. The SBMC is on track to achieve its goals as planned, and can now count on the best available expertise in the world to do so.
The flow individuals are: AVL, Ciklo, FIVE, Forsee Power, Hioki, Honda, Hyba, JAMA, Kawasaki, KTM, KYMCO, Niu, Piaggio, Polaris, Roki, Samsung, Sinbon, Sumitomo Electric, Suzuki, Swobbee, Vitesco, VeNetWork, Yamaha.
As member of the SBMC and a world leader in smart electric 2-wheeled mobility, NIU Technologies is committed to the mission of the consortium.
“We are committed to improving admittance to electric metropolitan versatility through the making of normal principles for swappable batteries. We accept this innovation is critical to the reception of practical 2-wheel city arrangements by lessening charging times, expanding vehicle range, and diminishing expense for end clients” says Dr Yan Li, Chief of NIU Advances.
