DG Innovate announced that the Company will be showcasing a comprehensive package of products and solutions for designers, manufacturers and operators of electric vehicles ("EVs") at CENEX-LCV 2023, the UK's premier exhibition and conference devoted to low-carbon vehicle and fuel cell technologies. CENEX-LCV2023 is being held on 6 and 7 September 2023 at UTAC Millbrook, near Bedford, UK. DG Innovate will be highlighting its E-Axle for buses and other heavy vehicles, which has been developed in collaboration with BRIST Axle Systems S.r.l. This is a complete assembly with the Company's fully integrated Pareta motor and drive.

It is a plug-and-play solution for axles with up to 13 tonne ratings and is suitable for both retrofit and new build applications. A key benefit is that the integrated design frees up more space for batteries, allowing vehicles to achieve greater range. Also on show for the first time will be DG Innovate's Pareta fleet monitoring and tracking system, which provides powerful cloud-based tools for EV fleet management.

The system continually shows the location of all vehicles in the fleet on a map-based display, and, simply by tapping the relevant vehicle icon, the user can instantly call up performance data and energy level. Data is also stored for later analysis to allow comparisons between vehicles and between drivers. Another innovation on the DG Innovate stand at CenEX-LCV 2023 will be a software package that simulates EVs and allows them to be virtually driven over user-defined terrain so that the performance of various drive options can be evaluated and compared.

At the exhibition, this software has been partnered with a driving station to provide live demonstrations. To complement its new introductions, DG Innovate is showing motors and inverters from its Pareta range. These use a unique segmented architecture that splits the inverter and the torque producing elements into multiple segments.

This provides numerous benefits, including improved efficiency, enhanced thermal characteristics, operation from safer low voltage supplies and class-leading mass and volumetric power density. In addition, Pareta drives offer unmatched fault resilience as, if a segment fails, the drive continues to operate normally except for a slight reduction in maximum torque.
