Inrekor’s Demonstrates Lightweight Chassis For Electric Vehicles
Inrekor, a UK-based chassis technology company, has come up with a new lightweight material for the body of electric cars, which can reduce the overall weight of the cars by 30 percent, and also increase their range. The new material was employed in ECOMove’s QBEAK electric vehicle concept weighing 400kg, and this resulted the car to accomplish a 300km battery range, nearly twice a range compared to other electric vehicles.

Inrekor’s composite chassis comprises two aluminium sheets distinguished by a layer of ARPRO; a lightweight material as of now employed in particular automotive purposes. The standard applications of ARPRO in the automotive enterprise include impact protection, reason enough to use it in places like core of bumpers and the inside impact boards. ARPRO also boasts of worthy insulating properties that can downplay energy utilization for heating and air conditioning purposes; lengthening the battery life even more. Added to all this, the ARPRO core can better the driving experience by cutting down the noise, vibration and roughness.
The QBEAK model stands proud with Frost & Sullivan’s 2012 European Electric Vehicles Early Stage Investment Opportunity Award and is scheduled for release in 2013.
