BIGA 3000: the city tender of the future!

READ THE FULL STORY OF THE "BIGA 3000" RESEARCH PROJECT

PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS
The basic idea is to create intelligent sustainable mobility for the future, primarily for concentrations of large cities in general.
To achieve an optimal result, Greenway aims, as its ultimate goal, to create a “full-electric” vehicle, the “BIGA 3000” (literally, the chariot of the third millennium) which, thanks to its intelligent package, manages to make the most of the advantages offered, not only by full-electric traction (therefore zero emissions), but also those of autonomous driving which, in city traffic, certainly represents the future.

PRODUCTS

But why do we call our “full-electric” package INTELLIGENT?

BIGA 3000: the city tender of the future!

Basically, without going into technical details (for which we refer you to the description of the product, in the presentation, including the historical excursus on the state of the art of electric vehicles), it is essentially a question of reducing and optimally arranging all the mechanical and electronic components, necessary for the operation of the vehicle. In order to optimize the relationship between the external dimensions of the vehicle, minimized to the essentials, with the internal spaces usable by users, on the contrary maximized and above all made more efficient. Thus increasing the comfort and quality of life on board.

In addition to minimizing in turn, also the difficulties and skills required for using the vehicle itself (for this reason much is left to the software at various levels of assist, up to autonomous driving).
It is precisely in this perspective that the perfect symmetry on each side of the “BIGA 3000” also fits in, which, in addition to significantly optimizing production costs, allows it above all to move indifferently in both directions.

Finally, the mechanism and management of the door, totally automated and which does not involve the slightest encumbrance outside the vehicle, is certainly another exclusive advantage in the sense of practicality, safety and versatility of use of the “BIGA 3000” .

We want to obtain a practical vehicle for the city (suitable for circulating in any area, thanks to its small footprint, ease of parking and use and absolutely always zero emissions) and multi-function: that is, suitable for the most varied uses and needs, from the rental by the municipalities, in special exchange parking lots equipped with recharging for battery packs, to use for public transport, as well as post office, delivery, etc.
Without excluding large rental companies, including private ones.

ELECTRIC CITY CAR – TENDER / SHUTTLE FOR CITY EXCHANGERS (RENTAL)
GENERAL FEATURES:
PROJECT IDENTIFICATION: EV-D (ELECTRIC VEHICLE – DOOR)
NAME: BIGA 3000

– ELECTRIC DRIVE ON THE 4 WHEELS, WITH GENERATORS MOUNTED DIRECTLY INSIDE THE WHEEL RIMS
– 4 GENERATORS (ONE PER WHEEL), USED BOTH FOR ELECTRIC TRACTION AND FOR CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK – WHEN BRAKING
– 4 STEERING WHEELS (ASSISTED STEERING, CONTROLLED BY THE CONTROL UNIT – ELECTRIC SERVO ASSISTANCE)
– REMOVABLE BATTERY PACK UNDER THE FLOOR (GAP BETWEEN FLOOR AND BOTTOM OF THE CAR)
– NO OVERALL / WEIGHT OF THE TRANSMISSION PARTS: NO GEARBOX AND NOT EVEN DIFFERENTIAL: IT IS THE CONTROL UNIT THAT CONTROLS THE 4 ELECTRIC MOTORS, INDEPENDENTLY, FOR THE DIRECT TRACTION ON THE WHEELS, ALSO VARYING THE SPEED AUTOMATICALLY. – VERY LIGHT AND RELATIVELY SIMPLE VEHICLE (AS TO TRADITIONAL MECHANICAL PARTS), COMPACT AND EXTREMELY HANDY.
– POSSIBILITY OF RUNNING IN TWO WAYS (FORWARD AND BACKWARD) AND FOR THIS EQUIPPED WITH:
– DOUBLE-WAY SEATS (WITH SMALL STORAGE BETWEEN THE TWO SEATS IN THE CENTER)
– GUIDE COMMANDS THROUGH A JOYSTICK (OR POSSIBILITY TO SET A ROUTE, WITH INDEPENDENT GUIDE)
– INSTRUMENTATION PROJECTED ON THE GLASS (THROUGH HOLOGRAM, ALSO CONTROLLED DIRECTLY BY THE JOYSTICK)
– PLANKS (FORWARD AND BEHIND) EQUIPPED WITH TABLET (REMOVABLE) WHICH CAN ALSO WORK, UPON REQUEST, AS A NAVIGATOR AND / OR INSTRUMENTATION (OBVIOUSLY VIRTUAL)
– CONTROL UNIT THAT COMMANDS THE TRACTION, CAN BE INSERTED ON ONE AXIS ONLY OR ON BOTH, ON REQUEST
– SYMMETRIC (FRONT AND REAR) LED AND LASER OPTICAL UNITS, PROVIDED WITH ALL THE FUNCTIONS PROVIDED FOR BY THE CODE, AT THE FRONT (DIRECTION INDICATORS, DAYLIGHTS, LOW AND HIGH BEAM) AND AT THE REAR (DIRECTION INDICATORS, POSITION, STOP LIGHTS, REAR FOG), OBVIOUSLY ACTIVATED BY THE SAME CONTROL UNIT, BASED ON THE ACTIVE RUNNING DIRECTION.
– THE FOUR ASSISTED STEERING WHEELS, IN ADDITION TO ALLOWING REGULAR GEAR IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, HELP THE MANEUVERS, ESPECIALLY IN A LITTLE SPACE AND ESPECIALLY THE CLOSE PARKING SPACES.
RUNNING AUTONOMY GUARANTEED IN DIFFERENT WAYS:
– CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK IN BRAKING (GENERATORS ON THE WHEELS)
– CHARGING VIA SOLAR PANELS DROWN IN THE GLASSES OF THE UPPER PART OF THE COCKPIT (ROOF AND TWO WINDSCREEN / REAR WINDOW)
– WI FI CHARGING IN THE APPROPRIATE PARKING PLOT
– QUICK REPLACEMENT OF THE REMOVABLE BATTERY PACK FROM THE BOTTOM (IF NECESSARY)
AMONG THE PROVIDED AUTOMATIONS, ALWAYS CONTROLLED BY THE CONTROL UNIT, ALSO THE AUTOMATIC HANDLING OF THE DOOR (SEE DIAGRAM AND IMAGES)
