KeelWit Technology and Prosegur jointly develop a specific security device for electro-mobility
Prosegur, a leading company in the safety industry, has developed together with KeelWit Technology a specific version of its widely acclaimed Prosegur Alarmas Móviles (known as PAM) device to equip electric bicycles, tricycles and small electric cars. This industry premier is a strong tool for e-fleet management, as well as for vehicle protection and quick retrieval if stolen. The device is permanently linked 24/365 to the HQ of Prosegur’s Alarm Center, allowing a wide team of security industry professionals to track the movements of the vehicles and to receive on-line information on their performance and status, warning them on any need for their reaction. The work done on the device includes energy-consumption optimization for reduced energy need of the “standby mode” in order to minimize the impact on the vehicle’s range granted by its batteries. With this project, leaded by KeelWit, Prosegur enhances its strong support for environmentally concerned projects, granting Vienenbici’s e-trikes a powerful tool, comparable with the ones used by conventional engine vehicles, and placing them a step above their competitors in sustainable mobility...20 Sep 2012

KeelWit presents a new electric trike for sustainable last-mile distribution
KeelWit presents in SIL (Logistic International Fair) held in Barcelona, the electric tricycle developed for the logistic company VIENENBICI to be used in sustainable last-mile delivery KeelWit Technology has developed for Vienenbici a range of electrically assisted tricycles to be used for Last Mile Delivery in the downtown of big cities. The development of this first model for parcel delivery companies has been done through a taskforce leaded by KeelWit and integrated by the COO of several of the main companies in this business. With the support of both UNO (Logistics and Transport Companies’ Confederation), e+e Proyectos y Eficiencia Energética andCITET (Technological Centre for Innovation applied to Logistics and Transport), the team held several meetings focused in establishing the definition of what an “ideal tricycle” should be. KeelWit later developed the first working prototype in only 3 months according to the “case study results”. Powered through LiFePO4 batteries, the tricycle is equipped with substantial improvements both in technology and user-friendliness, compared with current state-of-the-art vehicles in this market. All of the improvements are bespoke features created by KeelWit, turned into standard following the requests of the 6 companies involved in the project.
