Honda in Thailand Showcases EV Technology Concepts at iEVTech 2018
The Honda Group of Companies in Thailand has brought the company’s electrification technology concepts to the International Electrical Vehicle Technology Conference and Exhibition (iEVTech 2018), which takes place from 6 to 9 June, 2018, at BITEC, Bangkok. At the event, Honda is exhibiting its swappable battery and charger concepts, which can power various forms of electrical mobility such as the PCX Electric scooter and the MC β (M-C-beta) micro-sized EV concept car.
Under the theme “Honda Mobile Power Pack World,” the company is demonstrating its concept for a swappable electric power source that can be used in all types of electric vehicles including motorcycles and automobiles. The highlight of the exhibition is the Honda Mobile Power Pack, a swappable mobile battery that can be used to power small electric vehicles; the Honda Mobile Power Pack Exchanger Concept, a charging station concept that can simultaneously charge multiple Honda Mobile Power Packs and supply replacement battery packs; and the Honda Mobile Power Pack Charge & Supply - Portable Concept, a portable charger concept for mobile power packs that can also serve as an outdoor power source.
In addition, the UNI-CUB β, a personal mobility device powered by a lithium-ion battery which features balance control technology that originates from Honda’s research into humanoid robots, ASIMO, is being showcased and offering a test ride at the event.
The UNI-CUB β was developed by analyzing and incorporating the data and the user feedback through this testing program.
Compared to the UNI-CUB, the β version is smaller and lighter, and in addition, a new design and materials were adopted in order to improve usability.
