DG Twin's proprietary technology is highly flexible and can be implemented in various forms, such as ECU firmware, as a mobile application, and as a digital platform for fleet management.
It can be applied to:
micro-mobility vehicles (push scooters, little motorcycles, microcars, and cargo bikes)
all vehicles equipped with electric motors, hybrid propulsion (thermal-electric), and innovative hydrogen (fuel cell) systems
It is therefore of interest to:
OEMs/Manufacturers of hybrid, electric, and fuel cell vehicles (B2B): as a digital platform for developing propulsion control strategies based on informed decisions (software-defined vehicle)
to bile/mopeds sharing fleet managers (B2B): as better management of the availability of electricity on board implies lower costs for recharging bicycles and/or push scooters and for the related logistics costs
to e-bike riders (B2C): increases the time between charges, extends the lifespan of electrical components, and enhances driving safety
The proprietary digital technology is based on a “data driven” approach. The data that drives the software is related to the vehicle's real-world operation.
It has been implemented in an IoT platform that provides information relating to the route taken and has been demonstrated in real environment, in the city of Naples, in its first application as an APP that can be utilized from riders of pedal assisted electric bicycles.
reduce energy consumption (increasing range and battery life)
increase driving comfort
The technology has the potential to revolutionize the design of vehicle control systems because it allows for the use of computational models not only in the pre-production and road-testing phases but at every moment during the vehicle's real-world operation, regardless of its use (or mission profile).
The solution is a patent granted in Italy and extended internationally.
