Denmark is recognised international for its wind generators and inexperienced energy, and in the future the Danes might also additionally be recognized for having created the first European production of inexperienced batteries for electric powered bicycles. The Viridus ambitions at producing 50,000 inexperienced batteries annually by using the cease of 2019.
Aarhus, August 28th, 2019: “In many ways, it’s paradoxical that electric bicycles, which in themselves are an environmentally friendly mode of transport, nevertheless use black batteries that are transported right across the globe to reach the European bicycle manufacturers. We want to alternate this in order to take better care of the world. The shoppers have also grow to be greater conscious of their climate footprint, and bicycle manufacturers are starting to word this,” says Jesper Lundqvist, managing director of Viridus.
Viridus was created as a joint challenge between the Chinese employer Greenway and LEVA-EU member Promovec, a enterprise additionally led by using Jesper Lundqvist, and which for many years has furnished a huge range of aspects and offerings in the area of electric powered bicycle production.
The company was once based in 2018, however green battery manufacturing only obtained underway in August 2019. Viridus expects to be producing 50,000 green batteries for electric powered bicycles annually through the end of 2019 in its today's assembly hall, which is packed with contemporary production equipment. By the stop of the year, Viridus expects to have round 12-15 employees.
The green battery production has accordingly been started up by using some quite experienced humans – and the company has additionally been nicely received.
“Several Danish bicycle brands have already sold into the concept, and from now on will use solely green batteries. For consumers, it will ultimately imply a minor more cost when they buy an electric powered bicycle, however viewed over the lifetime of an electric powered bicycle, it’s a small quantity of money,” says Jesper Lundqvist.
Greater flexibility in production
The demand for electric bikes is booming in Europe, and in the Netherlands and Belgium, in particular, the percentage of electric powered bicycles offered is very high. This places the bicycle producers in a specific situation, Jesper Lundqvist believes. “Right now, the bicycle industry has an tremendous possibility to lead the way in inexperienced mobility, the units for which ought to additionally of direction be produced in a sustainable manner. That capability there should additionally be organizations in Europe that will assist to lead the way and encourage different industries and buyers to undertake the green agenda. Together with our clients in the industry, we desire to be amongst the trailblazers,” says Jesper Lundqvist.
However, a fundamental aspect of the new production of inexperienced batteries on European soil is that it additionally entails giving bicycle manufacturers higher flexibility and quicker deliveries. “Today, if you import the subcomponents from Asia, you have to order six months in advance. This makes lifestyles tough for the bicycle manufacturers, who often require greater flexibility in their production. We accept as true with that thru European production of inexperienced batteries we can create exactly this larger flexibility, thanks amongst other matters to the a lot shorter distances involved. This will additionally keep the world a massive quantity of CO2, and that’s the most important objective,” says Jesper Lundqvist.
