- Exro has validated integration of its 100 Volt Coil Driver with
a Heinzmann PMS motor to drive expanded speeds, increased torque,
and switches under load
- Exro to commercialize motor and inverter system solutions
alongside Heinzmann machines for light mobility applications
- Commercialization of standard solution to start in fourth
quarter 2021 with first revenues expected in the first quarter of
2022
CALGARY, AB, March 25, 2021 /CNW/ - Exro Technologies
Inc. (TSXV: EXRO) (OTCQB: EXROF) (the "Company" or "Exro"), a
leading clean technology company which has developed a new class of
power electronics for electric motors and batteries, is pleased to
announce validation of the motor and inverter system solution for
light mobility with global electric drives manufacturer Heinzmann
GmbH & Co. KG ("Heinzmann").
Exro validated integration of its 100 Volt Coil Driver for light
electric vehicles alongside Heinzmann's PMS 120 motors (the
"machine" or "machines"), and testing has proven that dynamic coil
switching under load is successful and operating as expected at
peak currents. The test results showed significant improvement to
the speed range of the machine while delivering an expanded torque
map and maintaining high efficiency operation. By introducing
multiple dynamic coil configurations, the Coil Driver was able to
optimize motor torque and speed capabilities and effectively
function at the mechanical limitations of the machine.
"We are thrilled to see the successful integration of our motors
with the Coil Driver technology," said Peter Mérimèche, Managing
Director for Heinzmann. "This will deliver a unique system solution
for light mobility applications and we are looking forward to
bringing this to market alongside Exro."
Established in Germany in 1897,
Heinzmann is a proven innovator of complete electric drive
solutions with a wide range of applications around the world.
Today, customers trust Heinzmann for the quality and expertise
behind their sophisticated powertrain equipment.
"This validation is a major milestone toward commercialization
of our Coil Driver technology across all segments," said
Josh Sobil, Chief Commercial Officer
of Exro. "The combined system solution not only demonstrates how
our technology enables greater control of an electric motor, but
also breaks significant barriers for us to generate revenue from
delivering our Coil Driver to all mobility segments."
The Company is now moving forward to refinement of a standard
solution to start commercializing alongside Heinzmann by fourth
quarter 2021. The optimized motor and Coil Driver integration will
bring a new solution with enhanced performance to light electric
vehicles including electric scooters, electric motorbikes,
municipal vehicles, and more.
