Genovation Cars Inc. (www.genovationcars.com), a Maryland designer and builder of environmentally friendly automobiles, announced it has begun building a prototype of its newest electric automobile, the G-Vette. The prototype will be built on the all-aluminum light-weight frame of a legendary sports car. The frame was donated by a tier one auto industry parts supplier.
The G-Vette will feature a special ultra light weight carbon fiber body constructed using a soy based resin. It will incorporate Genovation’s research and development experience that went into its G1 model --- an electric conversion of a Ford Focus --- which included the installation of an electric motor, battery string, battery management system, safety system, HVAC, controller, and instrumentation.
“We are very pleased to be taking the development of an efficient and reliable electric sports car to the next level,” said Andrew Saul, Genovation Cars CEO. “We’re quite sure there is an…
Genovation Selects American Dynamics Flight Systems to Perform Computational Fluid Dynamics For G2
6/22/2010
Genovation Cars Inc., a Maryland designer and builder of environmentally friendly automobiles, announced that it recently selected and contracted with American Dynamics Flight Systems (ADFS) of Jessup, Md. to perform the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of Genovation's G2 electric car.
Through the CFD process, ADFS will use Genovation's engineering files to perform computer-simulated wind tunnel tests, allowing for the refinement and improvement of air flow efficiencies on the G2. The CFD tests will also help increase the high-speed stability of the automobile.
In addition, Genovation also recently selected Tata Technologies to design and prototype the G2 model. The G2 model will incorporate Genovation's research and development that went into its G1 model, an electric conversion of a Ford Focus. The conversion included the installation of an electric motor, battery string, battery management system, safety system, HVAC, controller and instrumentation.
Long term, it is Genovation's goal…
