It is capable of extending the vehicle mileage by 20-50%.
According to Professor Cao Binggang, the founder and chairman of the Company, electric vehicle becomes increasingly popular with the global concern on energy shortage, while its core parts include control system, battery, and motor, among which the control system functions as the brain of a vehicle. At present, most investment flows into battery and motor, but the R&D in control system lags behind and becomes a bottleneck in the development of domestic electric vehicle industry. His company targets at the weak link and obtains 21 national invention patents and 2 international patents. Its technologies and products can be extensively applied on the production of electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and low-speed electric vehicles.
