MotoCzysz and Remy Planning Electric D1g1tal Dr1ve

Remy Electric Motors and MotoCzysz have just signed a partnership to bring a new generation electric drive system to the market. The system will use Remy's patented High Voltage Hairpin (HVH) electric motor technology and patent-pending cooling and integration technology from MotoCzysz.

Dubbed D1g1tal Dr1ve, the system is the first of its kind, therefore opening a new classification of complete electric drive solutions.

"Our partnership with Remy Electric Motors will allow us to deliver a modern, simpler, evolved replacement for the 100 year-old gas engine. Remy is a powerhouse in electric motor design and manufacturing and our first choice for a partner in this emerging sector," said Michael Czysz, Founder and CEO of MotoCzysz. "Our mutual goal is for the D1g1tal Dr1ve to deliver the highest performance, greatest efficiency and most integrated packaging solution available for companies needing electric drive solutions."

The new D1g1tal Dr1ve was originally designed to fit a motorcycle frame. When applied to automobiles, this weight and size advantage, coupled with disproportionately high performance, will provided greater efficiency. The system optimizes and matches all high-voltage components in a single housing, while providing additional safety for the vehicle thanks to its nearly wireless solution.

"MotoCzysz proved their ability to optimize a Remy motor with their astounding test results and win in the TT Zero electric motorcycle race on the Isle of Man this year,” added Remy CEO John Weber. “Integrating that same groundbreaking engineering with the patented Remy HVH motor is a win for our electric automotive and light duty commercial customers. Remy and MotoCzysz have the experience and technology to make this remarkable propulsion system the new industry standard for electric automobiles."

Remy and MotoCzysz will make the D1g1tal Dr1ve unit available in the second quarter of 2011.
