ESKAM is a unique solution to retrofit used cars cost- and resource-efficient, including auxiliary systems, like electric heating. The ESKAM technology is scalable to all kinds of vehicles and the production technology allows the cost-efficient mass production. To allow production upscaling and minimise resource dependences, only e-motors without permanent magnets and expensive rare earth elements, like neodymium and samarium, are used.
By integrating ESKAM into their used cars, the owners reduce their operating costs dramatically, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance the value of their vehicle. At the same time, they have an efficient, environmental and climate friendly solution with zero emissions to access urban areas, which are more and more limited for old, pollutant vehicles. The integration into the axle and the optimised production technologies increase the range and prevent the loss of load capacity.
The “European Roadmap Electrification of Road Transport” of the European Technology Platforms ERTRAC, EPoSS and ETIP SNET1, very clearly outlines the importance of battery electric vehicles for Europe and its society. By using ESKAM, the vehicle integration is also possible for used cars in a standardised and simple way. This also enhances the safety of the vehicle. The reduction of harmful noise and air pollution, especially in urban and suburban areas is a global challenge. With the ability to reduce cost for electric vehicles and replace combustion engines in used cars with an electric drive, ESKAM supports the swift change to e-mobility, and enables a resource-efficient second life for used cars.
