The vehicle is built on an extended version of the CMF-A platform called the CMF-A+ platform. The platform also underpins the Renault Triber and Kiger. [ 15 ] Initially the vehicle was only exported to several right-hand drive emerging markets worldwide, consisting of Indonesia, South Africa, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Uganda ...
Today, the fleet consists of 41 automated Innovia APM 100 vehicles, each of which has a maximum capacity of 100 passengers. [3] In 2024, 26 new vehicles will be added to the system. These vehicles were originally scheduled to be delivered by 2021, but due to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on manufacturing, the delivery date was delayed to 2024.
The drive mechanism had no direct connection between the engine and the rear wheels. Instead of a flywheel, a generator and a horseshoe shaped magnet were attached to the rear of the engine's crank shaft. On the forward end of the car's drive shaft, was an electric motor with an armature fitted into an air space inside the whirling magnet ...
A direct-drive mechanism is a mechanism design where the force or torque from a prime mover is transmitted directly to the effector device (such as the drive wheels of a vehicle) without involving any intermediate couplings such as a gear train or a belt. [1] [2] [3] [4]
The first four cars were delivered to Denver on December 3, 2014, with service to start in 2016. [15] As of 2020, Silverliner V trains are used on the RTD's A , B , G and N lines. Differences between the RTD and SEPTA cars include support for only 25 kV 60Hz AC electrification, two center-opening high-level doors per side, less powerful ...
Spin-stabilized magnetic levitation is a phenomenon of magnetic levitation whereby a spinning magnet or array of magnets (typically as a top) is levitated via magnetic forces above another magnet or array of magnets, and stabilised by gyroscopic effect due to a spin rate that is neither too fast, nor too slow to allow for a necessary precession.
Small-scale production in 1988 with the electric vehicle conversion firm London Innovation [3] and later with the Lynch Electric Motor Company (LEMCO). In 1989 four of them powered the boat An Stradag , driven by the Countess of Arran, to a world record speed for an electric boat of just over 80 kilometres per hour (50 mph). [ 4 ]
A magnetohydrodynamic drive or MHD accelerator is a method for propelling vehicles using only electric and magnetic fields with no moving parts, accelerating an electrically conductive propellant (liquid or gas) with magnetohydrodynamics. The fluid is directed to the rear and as a reaction, the vehicle accelerates forward. [1] [2]
