Bellerophon Rapid Assembly and Disassembly

Bellerophon快速组装和充电（布拉德）项目将提供一种由可维护和可重复使用的电池提供动力的四轮自行车，其概念制造过程可以减少制造和再制造时间，为高效的电池系统组装提供成本降低，从而在内燃机占主导地位的市场中提供电动动力系统。许多四轮自行车是汽油，一小部分使用柴油作为燃料。2019年生产了大约100万辆四轮自行车，其中不到15，000辆是电动的，所有车辆都是E-UTV。最新研究表明，2010年四轮摩托车排放了1800万吨二氧化碳，预计此后这一数字还会上升。该项目的概念阶段完成了一个UTE电池系统，旨在解决循环经济和减少物料清单（BoM）通过独特的电池组组装和拆卸工艺降低成本，以帮助废旧电池组的再制造和二次寿命潜力。布拉德项目建立在升级技术工程有限公司、Aspire工程有限公司、Eco Charger有限公司和克兰菲尔德大学的综合专业知识基础上。

The Bellerophon Rapid Assembly and Disassembly (BRAD) project will deliver a quad bike powered by maintainable and reusable batteries, with a concept manufacturing process which reduces manufacture and remanufacture time, providing cost reduction for efficient battery system assembly thus providing an electric powertrain in a market which is dominated by Internal Combustion Engines.Many quad bikes are petrol with a small percentage using diesel as the fuel. Around 1 million quad bikes were produced in in 2019 and less than 15,000 were electric, all are E-UTV.The last study showed that in 2010 18 million tonnes of CO2 was emitted from quad bikes and this figure is expected to have risen since.The proof-of-concept phase of this project is complete with a UTE battery system designed for addressing the circular economy and reducing Bill of Materials (BoM) costs with a unique process for pack assembly and disassembly to aid remanufacture and second-life potential of spent battery packs. The BRAD project builds on the combined expertise of Upgrade Technology Engineering Ltd, Aspire Engineering Ltd, Eco Charger Ltd and Cranfield University.
