THE FOUNDING IDEA
The idea behind the GORDIIOLA PROJECT is a forward-looking return to values in the manufacture of innovative products. In this case, the development and production of a vehicle concept, including the placement of a new, attractive vehicle and technology brand. In addition to the resource-conserving use of environmentally friendly materials, the focus is on attractive design, user-friendliness, sustainability and safety.
THE GORDIIOLA
THE GORDIIOLA is a three-wheeled vehicle with 4 wheels in terms of authorisation. Rear wheelbase, wheel centre to wheel centre 400 mm. The vehicle has 2 seats and storage space for longer journeys. Canopy on board. Long wheelbase, large wheel diameters, low centre of gravity combined with uncompromising lightweight construction, the vehicle leaves no questions unanswered when it comes to driving pleasure. The body is made entirely from hemp. The interior and seats are also made of hemp and are covered in fine tobacco leather. The fibre structure of the body is comparable to a monocoque and offers the occupants maximum safety.
THE GORDIIOLA ENGINE
THE GORDIIOLA MOTOR is positioned directly between the two rear wheels. As the torque required by the GORDIIOLA MOTOR is available from the first revolution, the GORDIIOLA has no gearbox. This saves weight and components. The engine is supplied with energy in the form of pressure via compressed air tanks located in the frame of the vehicle. In an additional fuel unit (such as hydrogen), we supply the engine with further pressurised and thermal energy as required, thereby compensating for the energy losses (heat/cold) of both systems.
CHARGING INFRASTRUCTURE
As part of engine and vehicle development, we deal with the solution of a necessary infrastructure for the efficient provision of compressed air and fast refuelling. The major advantage in the development of these structures is the simplicity and safety of the compressed air technology. Most of the components have been state of the art for many years and are freely and inexpensively available on the market. In addition, there are extensive and worldwide endeavours to use compressed air as a large-scale storage energy source. So-called CAES systems.afety.
