Electric generator engine to support Electric Vehicle recharge solution

吉布森科技是世界领先的高性能赛车发动机制造商，致力于提供卓越的品质和创新的工程解决方案。吉布森在设计、开发和制造包括发动机、电气驱动和电子系统在内的赛车系统方面，以卓越的性能和可靠性创造了全球声誉。吉布森的经验已经发展成为一个令人羡慕的跟踪记录，为客户解决复杂的工程挑战和世界各地的比赛系列，可以归因于其高技能和忠诚的员工，在最高水平的赛车运动多年的经验。随着英国政府的净零碳排放目标和汽车行业走向电气化，吉布森寻求多样化以保护其未来。吉布森将利用他们的专业知识和技能，利用其现有的能力来设计、开发和制造一系列便携式、轻质、高功率的先进发电机，用于离网电动汽车充电等应用。吉布森之前已经开发出一种概念验证发电机，重量仅为40公斤，发电量为10千瓦。吉布森相信，进一步小型化可以生产出重量仅为30公斤的发电机。这种高效的便携式发电机将比目前市场上的任何其他发电机都更紧凑，更轻，功率更大。吉布森进行了广泛的市场研究，以充分了解其便携式发电机的潜在应用。由于政府立法和舆论的影响，该产品的市场和需求不断增加，特别是路边回收行业需要一个解决方案来为遭受重创的电动汽车充电。吉布森已经确定了其他市场，包括为危机响应小组发电，为电网中断和军事应用提供国内电力。路边回收服务目前没有一种轻量级的解决方案来产生给电动汽车充电所需的电力，通常使用平板卡车将它们运走。开发发电机发动机方面的项目的启动受到了Covid-19大流行和随后的封锁的影响。在封锁期间，为吉布森提供收入来源的赛车比赛要么被取消，要么被重新安排到今年晚些时候，影响了收入，并导致员工被迫休假。可持续创新基金将允许吉布森启动发动机项目，并完成他们的第一台发电机，为路边回收公司和电动汽车司机提供充电的解决方案。该解决方案将通过减少使用平板卡车造成的碳排放和减少潜在买家的里程焦虑来支持英国政府的净零碳排放目标，从而支持电动汽车销量的增长。

Gibson Technology is a world leading manufacturer of high performance racing engines, dedicated to delivering exceptional quality and innovative engineering solutions. Gibson has created a global reputation for excellence in both performance and reliability in designing, developing and manufacturing race systems encompassing engines, electrical drives and electronic systems.Gibson's experience has developed into an enviable track record in solving complex engineering challenges for customers and race series worldwide and can be attributed to its highly skilled and committed workforce, with many years of experience at the highest levels of motorsport.Following the UK Government's Net-Zero carbon emissions target and the automotive industry move towards electrification, Gibson has sought to diversify to protect its future. Capitalising on their expertise and skills, Gibson will leverage its existing capabilities to design, development and manufacture a range of portable, light-weight, high power advanced electrical generators for applications including off-grid electric vehicle recharging.Gibson has previously developed a proof of concept generator weighing just 40 kilograms and producing 10 kilowatts of power. Gibson are confident that further miniaturisation is possible to produce a generator weighing just 30 kilograms. This highly efficient and portable electrical generator will be more compact, lightweight and power dense than anything else currently available on the market.Gibson have undertaken extensive market research to fully understand the potential applications for their portable generator. Due to government legislation and public opinion, the market and demand for this product is increasing, in particular, the roadside recovery industry needs a solution to recharge stricken Electric Vehicles (EVs). Gibson have identified other markets which include power generation for crisis response teams, domestic power for power grid disruption and military applications.Roadside recovery services currently do not have a lightweight solution to produce the power necessary to recharge an electric vehicle and often utilise a flatbed truck to transport them away.The initiation of the project to develop the engine aspect of the generator has been impacted the Covid-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdown. Over the lockdown period, the motor races that provide Gibson's income stream were either cancelled or rescheduled to later in the year impacting revenues and leading to staff being furloughed.The Sustainable Innovation Fund will allow Gibson to initiate the engine project and complete their first generators providing roadside recovery companies and EV drivers with a solution for recharging stricken EVs. The solution will support the UK Governments Net-Zero carbon emissions target by reducing carbon emissions caused by the use of flatbed trucks and reducing range anxiety amongst potential buyers supporting an increase in EV sales.
