Bellerophon Rapid Assembly and Disassembly

Bellerophon快速组装和拆卸(BRAD)项目将提供一种由可维护和可重复使用的电池驱动的四驱车，其概念制造流程将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，从而在一个由内燃机主导的市场中提供电动总成。许多四驱车是汽油自行车，只有一小部分使用柴油作为燃料。2019年生产了大约100万辆四轮驱动自行车，只有不到15,000辆是电动的，都是电动UTV。最新的研究表明，2010年四轮驱动自行车排放了1800万吨二氧化碳，预计这一数字此后还会上升。该项目的概念验证阶段完成了一个UTE电池系统，该系统旨在解决循环经济问题，并通过独特的组装和拆卸工艺来降低材料清单(BoM)成本，以帮助重新制造和再生废电池组的潜力。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.
