The project of AS&PP and Hanergy Glory Solar Technology: solar-panel powered tricycle

In Asia the visually unusual three-wheeled vehicles named tricycles are being produced and used. They remind both motorcycles and cars, and even three-wheeled bicycles. Thanks to a stable structure, tricycles are capable of travelling across country and transporting cargoes. Both in the urban environment and in agriculture, these cars are used as one of the most wide-spread low-speed work means of transport that are perfect for courier delivery and are even used as a kind of a taxi.

This means of transport is consumption efficient and in case alternative energy sources are used, it can compete well with the traditional cars.

AS3333PP headed by Victor Arestov has announced the launch of the joint project with Hanergy Glory Solar Technology - solar electric tricycles charged from solar panels. The partnership goal is to achieve maximum drive range of the tricycle with a solar panel without any charging from the mains.

The capabilities of the first compact prototype model with the dimensions of 3m*1m*1.63m were tested by Victor Arestov. With the body dimensions of 1.5m*1m*1.1m, its carrying capacity is 300 kg, and Miasole 320 w solar panel allows to produce up to 1.2 kW*h of energy on a sunny day. The transport still runs even when the battery is partially or completely discharged. The efficiency of the panels used in the prototype model is 19 %. Moreover, the developers of solar panels are moving ahead and are already talking about the most cutting-edge modules with the efficiency up to 32 %.
At the moment the tricycle runs on a 0.8 kW motor. It's planned to equip the tricycle with a DA-90S "Slavyanka" motor mass produced by AS3333PP Technology and having the power of 3kW.

The partnership of AS3333PP Technology and Hanergy Glory Solar Technology is gaining momentum and we are looking forward to further news from Victor Arestov.
