Scientists of the Institute of Electrodynamics (IED) under the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine have experience of many years to design electromobiles, electrocycles and even electric tractors.

Five models of electromobiles were designed in cooperation with specialists of the Russia’s biggest auto maker AvtoVAZ and the Zaporozhye-based automotive factory AvtoZAZ on the basis of electrical equipment developed at the IED. Two electrocycles with a carrying capacity of 400 kilograms have been successfully operating at the Grishko Botanical Garden in Kiev for several years.

Also, experts of the Institute participated in development of the electromobile ZAZ Lanos Pick-up, hybrid electromobiles on the basis of the passenger car Tavria, the passenger and freight vehicle GAZ-2752 Sobol, and the farm machine using a chassis of the tractor T-16 as the base. It must be noted that the hybrid electric tractor, which passed field tests in 2013, is equipped with the unique system of recharging an accumulator. This system stabilizes operation of a diesel generator and thereby makes it more economical on fuel.

In addition to power equipment for electric transportation, IED scientists developed an auxiliary semiconductor device, as well as the original system that enables registration and the collection of data when testing electric vehicles in operation.

The Institute of Electrodynamics invites manufacturers and investors concerned to consider cooperation with it.
