Increased competition of pedelec and e-bike systems
Increased competition of pedelec and e-bike systems

SEW Eurodrive and Brose announced their Joint Venture for e-mobility in February this year. At the IAA (International Automotive Exhibition) 2011 in Frankfurt SEW-Brose recently showed their first pedelec system. Brose-SEW will further develop drivetrains and inductive charging technology  for two-wheelers. The JV is a member of the EnergyBus association, which introduced a standard for Light-Electric-Vehicles (LEVs) earlier this year. The cooperation indicates that soon a new drive unit and inductive charging device will be using the EnergyBus protocol.

EnergyBus communication protocol 1.0 released and implemented in several products

„READY FOR THE FUTURE?!“ Kaché of Panasonic asked after presenting the first charger using the EnergyBus. This new standard for electric components of Light-Electric- Vehicles (LEVs) consists of a communication protocol and a connector set.

The first pedelec built on the EnergyBus Standard (EBS) was introduced to the market. At the Intermot, the international two-wheeler tradeshow at Cologne, the organization presented the Impuls Pedelec with the engine of EnergyBus member Electragil. The pedelec is equipped with nothing but EnergyBus connectors and the matching communication protocol. It is the first product worldwide with standardized the electric components of light electric vehicles (LEVs).

The EnergyBus organization is working since 2007 to develop a standard for LEV components consisting of a high quality connector family to connect all electronic components of LEVs and the respective communication protocol. Since this year, the EnergyBus standard, the EBS if you like, made considerate progress, with a first set of connectors that is ready to go into production and the protocol in version 1.0 coming into its final shape. Not a minute too late, some might say, as the LEV market has seen ample growth in the last two years, while an universally applicable standard is still missing.
