The latest advances in battery electric vehicles powered by renewable energy will be put to the test in the World Advanced Vehicle Expedition (WAVE).
Two solar-powered electric cars designed and built by Green MotorSport (GMS) will take part in the annual drive across the heart of Europe and will be monitored in real-time by AGM’s Routemaster vehicle tracking system.
The cars set off on June 13 from Plauen near Berlin and join the fifth annual WAVE across four countries, which finishes in the Alps on June 21.
Along the way, the expedition will pause to give demonstrations for schools, local businesses, government offices and communities regarding the merits of sustainable energy and the part which solar-powered eco-friendly vehicles can play in the global drive to conserve energy and protect the environment.
“The purpose of WAVE is to evaluate the latest advances with battery electric vehicles powered by renewable energy and to give awards in several categories,” said Gordon Foat, managing director and founder of GMS.
“We have participated every year and I’m pleased to say that AGM have been with us, providing essential vehicle monitoring and tracking for the last three”
AGM Telematics, based in Corby, has worked closely with GMS to provide an effective method of monitoring the electric car’s speed and location so that progress can be accurately charted by everyone who follows the WAVE expedition.
GMS has spent more than 10 years designing, developing and refining electric motors for the light vehicle market. It now manufactures and sells its own in-house designed liquid cooled electric motor, together with all other components required for an electric drive train solution.
