Factors such as growing demand for energy-efficient commuting and governments supporting electric two-wheelers through subsidies & tax rebates have compelled two-wheeler OEMs to explore beyond the use of conventional internal combustion engines (ICE) in two-wheelers.

Growing concerns over increased pollution by the automotive industry is the prime reason government bodies are promoting electric two-wheelers over conventional ones. They have recognized the need for promoting energy-efficient vehicles to reduce the increasing pollution. To attract and encourage people to buy electric two-wheelers, government bodies of different countries are introducing lucrative schemes and incentives that include formidable discounts, free electricity (initially), and free public charging stations.

Asia Pacific is expected to be the largest market in the forecast

Large sales production and sales volumes in China, growing demand for affordable electric scooters for short-distance commuting in developing economies, and governments promoting electric two-wheelers are expected to drive the Asia Pacific market during the forecast period. China’s rapidly growing economy is driving the expansion of advanced technologies to improve electrification in the country. China has spent approximately USD 2.4 billion till 2020 to improve the charging facility infrastructure in the country. The Indian government is taking initiatives such as FAME-II, offering subsidies, and tax exemptions to buyers to promote electric two-wheelers in the country.

Europe is expected to be the second-largest market during the forecast

The Electric Scooter and Motorcycle Market in Europe is projected to be the second-largest during the forecast period. The Netherlands, which focuses a lot on greener vehicles, is estimated to be the largest market in Europe in 2020. The increasing concerns over carbon emissions due to conventional ICE two-wheelers and the efficiency of electric two-wheelers have led the European authorities to develop a large charging infrastructure network that has propelled the growth of the Electric Scooter and Motorcycle Market. Moreover, Europe is home to many leading electric two-wheeler manufacturing companies, such as Piaggio (Italy), Energica Motor Company (Italy), KTM (Austria), Silence (Spain), GOVECS (Germany), and Askoll (Italy).

The below 75 miles segment is expected to be the largest segment in the forecast

The below 75 miles segment is estimated to dominate the global Electric Scooter and Motorcycle Market, as the majority of the electric scooters/mopeds have a range of up to 75 miles. Asia Pacific is leading the segment of below 75 miles range in 2020 due to the dominance of electric scooters/mopeds over electric motorcycles, especially in China. These scooters/mopeds are used daily to commute and have a range below 75 miles on a single full charge. Yadea, NIU, and Xinri are major manufacturers of electric two-wheelers in China, providing electric scooters with a traveling range of below 75 miles. Hero Electric, Ampere, and Okinawa are the Indian companies offering electric scooters with this range.

The Electric Scooter and Motorcycle Market is dominated by established players such as Yadea Group Holdings Ltd. (China), Jiangsu Xinri E-Vehicle Co., Ltd. (China), NIU International (China), Silence Urban Ecomobility (Spain), and Hero Electric (India).

WinBus to Kick Off «Sandbox» Operation in Central Taiwan

TAIPEI, Jan. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan, globally renowned for its world-class IT and micro-electronics, has never been absent from the vigorous development of autonomous-driving vehicle industry.

TAIPEI, Jan. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Taiwan, globally renowned for its world-class IT and micro-electronics, has never been absent from the vigorous development of autonomous-driving vehicle industry.

The WinBus, a 100% homegrown, pure-electric, and self-driving minibus developed and built by ARTC and a group of over 20 local suppliers/partners, under supports from MOEA.

In conjunction with many experimental projects running worldwide, the high-tech island has launched several self-driving vehicle experimental projects in 2020, including the very first, and the most eye-catching projects executed by Automotive Research & Testing Center (ARTC), Taiwan, the leading transportation vehicle testing and R&D in Taiwan.

ARTC announced that WinBus, Taiwan’s first homegrown, pure-electric, and a SAE LEVEL-4 autonomous minibus, won a license for an one-year experimental «sandbox» operation sponsored by «Unmanned Vehicles Technology Innovative Experimentation Program» under the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MOEA), R.O.C.

Initial stages of the experimental operation has included a two-month self-driving test operation for collecting related technical and operational data; then began providing free-experiencing shuttle services to the general public in June 2020.   

The WinBus

Developed and built by ARTC, the WinBus is a 100% Made-in-Taiwan autonomous vehicle achieving SAE LEVEL-4 driving automation; meaning that the autonomous minibus does not require human interaction in most circumstances; however, a human still has the option to manually override.

With an eye-catching, oval-shaped and streamlined body, the «MIT» WinBus was crafted by ARTC and a group of more than 20 suppliers in local supply chain, including chassis, powertrain, battery, body, and key systems for sensing, decision-making, connection etc.

The self-driving minibus features many most-advanced technologies and key-systems supplied by Taiwanese suppliers, while integrated by ARTC. Its onboard systems make immediate decisions to control different sub-systems, such as steering, brake, acceleration…, through various types of sensors, including camera, Lidars (32-layer), and radars (77GHz) etc., as well as other high-techs like high-precision positioning, AI sensor-fusion, and intelligent decision-making…etc.

Challenging World’s Longest-range Self-driving Shuttle Service

A tie-up between ARTC and other local partners, including Kingwaytek Technology, Chunghwa Telecom, and Acer ITS; is challenging the world’s longest-range public shuttle service through the «sandbox» operation.

In the experimental operation, the WinBus has to overcome a big variety of traffic conditions and complexities throughout a 12.3-km fixed route with different scenarios (comparing to most 10 KM-less similar projects worldwide); including T intersections without traffic lights, adaptive vehicle braking by encountering pedestrians or other objects, fast/slow-lane switching, adaptive braking again front vehicles, traffic-light identification & reaction, turning at intersections, stopping at bus-stops…etc. The project will be even meaningful and milestone-setting, as it is tested under the very complicated traffic conditions in Taiwan, and need to showcase the vehicle’s capabilities in providing safe and comfort shuttle services in-between key scenery spots in Lukang, central Taiwan. 

A Key Part to Industry Development

Jerry Wang, president of ARTC, points out that actual verification is the most vital part for a vehicle from development to commercialization. Under the sponsorship from Department of Industrial Technology (DoIT) under MOEA, he adds, ARTC has completed the construction of the WinBus, and will continue to tie up with local partners for creating new and innovative business models that are crucial in future’s self-driving vehicle industry development in Taiwan. 

ARTC is scheduled to kick off a commercial operation project with private companies, offering shuttle-transport services in the Changhua Coastal Industrial Park for accumulating more operation credits. Finally, Wang stress, our goal is the export of key systems and innovative business models of the WinBus to global customers.

K Street Group Announces K9 and Tactical Training Academy Offers Advanced General Aviation Security Training

LEBANON, N.J., Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In order to keep the nation’s capital safe and operational, the TSA on July 15th, 2005, established security procedures that allowed GA business operations access to DCA. These procedures included a requirement that every GA business flight operating into or out of DCA have onboard an armed security officer («ASO») specially trained and authorized by TSA.

LEBANON, N.J., Jan. 8, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In order to keep the nation’s capital safe and operational, the TSA on July 15th, 2005, established security procedures that allowed GA business operations access to DCA. These procedures included a requirement that every GA business flight operating into or out of DCA have onboard an armed security officer («ASO») specially trained and authorized by TSA. ASOs maintain on-board flight-deck security to ensure the aircrafts continued flight capabilities, along with passenger and pilot safety.

The role of the ASO in business general aviation is no longer limited to flights going in and out of DCA; the role has since expanded to virtually any flights with C-suite and/or high net worth individuals aboard. The protection of corporate and other assets while in transit is vital as this is where most vulnerabilities are seen in the threat matrix.

In order to maximize the security acuity and situational awareness of corporate air travel, ASO training must expand beyond the standard TSA/FAMS minimum requirements. Furthermore, instruction that mimics ASO training should be extended to pilots, ground crew, maintenance, flight operations and passengers to ensure all stakeholders are properly prepared to address an on the ground or in the air security breach.

The K Street Group recently announced the future opening (June 2021) of its K9 and Tactical Training Academy, which will be based in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. Composition of the faculty, as well as specific courses and training to be offered at the academy are publicized regularly by the K Street Group.

One such area of focus includes the «Advanced Aircraft Security Operations» for business general aviation. The course spans a full day and a half, and will be available to ASOs, ground crew, pilots, flight operations, and corporate security personnel.

The syllabus will cover:

  • Threat environments in the air, on the ground, and overseas
  • Security priorities (threat, aircraft, and passengers)
  • Aviation environment tactic considerations
  • Advanced aircraft tactics
  • Tactical advantage (use of force options)
  • Mental preparation
  • Close quarter defense
  • Practical exercises

The course will be conducted in a classroom environment with no more than 10 participants. The instructor’s pedigree consists of Federal Air Marshal, Navy SEAL, FBI Task Force, and NYPD Intelligence Unit subject matter experts.

To learn more about the dates and times of the upcoming classes, please contact Robert Aromando, Chief Operating Officer at baromando@kstreetassociates.org or 908-200-7344 X312. Seating will be limited, and it is suggested early registration be considered. K Street accommodates all requests, including arranging a class for team members.

The logo is a symbol of Kia’s new brand purpose and the values it promises to offer customers through future products and services, and the experiences these enable.

LONDON, 08 January 2021 /PRNewswire Policy/ —

International arrivals required to prove negative COVID-19 test result before departure for England.

Passengers arriving from all international destinations will be required to present a negative COVID-19 test result before departing for England to help protect against new strains of coronavirus circulating internationally.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps has announced that from next week inbound passengers arriving by boat, plane or train will have to take a test up to 72 hours before departing the country they are in, to help protect against the new strains of coronavirus such as those seen in Denmark and South Africa.

Today’s (8 January 2021) decisive action is in response to the changes seen in the transmission of the virus both domestically and across the globe. Pre-departure testing will protect travel and will provide an additional layer of safety from imported cases of coronavirus on top of the mandatory 10 day self-isolation for arrivals, helping identify people who may currently be infectious and preventing them from travelling to England.

A negative pre-departure test reduces the risk of someone travelling whilst infectious, acting as another safeguard to prevent imported infections. Passengers arriving from countries not on the government’s travel corridor list must self-isolate for 10 days regardless of their pre-departure test result to provide further robust protection from those travelling from high-risk countries.

Prior to departure passengers will need to present proof of a negative COVID-19 test result to carriers, as well as their passenger locator form. The UK Border Force will conduct spot checks on arrival into England to ensure that passengers are fully compliant.

The move further bolsters existing protective measures which helped to safely enable international travel last year, with self-isolation for new arrivals and travel corridors remaining critical in reducing the risk of imported cases from high-risk countries.

Transport Secretary, Grant Shapps said:

«We already have significant measures in place to prevent imported cases of COVID-19, but with new strains of the virus developing internationally we must take further precautions.

«Taken together with the existing mandatory self-isolation period for passengers returning from high-risk countries, pre-departure tests will provide a further line of defence – helping us control the virus as we roll out the vaccine at pace over the coming weeks.»

National lockdown restrictions which came into force on 6 January 2021 remain in place meaning everyone must stay at home unless travelling for a very limited set of reasons, including for work.

Permitted travellers will need to take their test up to 72 hours before departure, and this will apply irrespective of whether a country is on the travel corridor list. The government will set out the standards that these tests will need to meet and what proof passengers will need to present.

Passengers arriving into England who have successfully demonstrated a negative result prior to departure from a country not on the travel corridor list will still have the option to reduce the self-isolation period from 10 to as little as 5 days by paying for a test through the Test to Release scheme. The scheme requires a test to be taken on or after the fifth full day since leaving a country not on the travel corridor list.

Passengers will be required to show their negative test result before boarding, and transport operators will deny boarding if necessary. On arrival back into the UK, Border Force will check passengers test results through the current spot check regime, to ensure that individuals are compliant with the new rules, and passengers will be subject to an immediate fine of 500 pounds.

There will be a limited number of exemptions, including for hauliers, children under 11, crews and for those who travelling from countries without the infrastructure available to deliver the tests. Further exemptions will be set out on GOV.UK.

This follows the recent decision to temporarily suspend direct travel from South Africa to England after new evidence emerged from health authorities reporting an outbreak of a variant strain of coronavirus spreading to some local communities.

Those who travel indirectly from South Africa must self-isolate for 10 days.

All travellers will still be required to complete a passenger locator form before arrival into England. This is critical in being able to track the virus in case of any local outbreaks, and those who fail to complete a passenger locator form will be subject to an increased fine of 500 pounds.
