19_FFG_SPOT - Security and production-oriented concept analysis of Traction batteries for electric two-wheeled vehicles

Electric Powered Two Wheelers (E-PTWs) will play an important role in the future mobility. Although the number of E-PTWs is strong increasing, manufactures are struggling to develop vehicles that can respond to the desires of the customers in terms of performance, safety and costs, especially in case of electric motorcycles. The cause can be found in the high development and production costs of the traction battery and its integration that in the current State of the Art is developed separately for every vehicle. This creates an increase in the development costs and limits the products that manufactures can bring to the market, with a negative effect in the market penetration of E-PTWs.
