The fast-evolving electric ATV industry is expected to get a boost this summer when the Tachyon electric ATV berths in the US and EU markets. The Tachyon electric ATV was developed in India by Powerland ATV. The company props the Tachyon as one of the fastest and most powerful electric ATVs.
The ATV segment of the automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation. Electric ATVs are all-wheel-drive powerhouses suited for heavy-duty tasks of varying hues. The Tachyon is already on the cusp of its momentous release in the EU and US markets. It has already gotten EU certification as a Tractor (T3b) and Quadricycle (L7e-B1) class vehicle.
The Tachyon uses four in-wheel motors that offer a combined maximum power of 50 hp (37kW). The electric tractor delivers a maximum torque of 210Nm per wheel. The in-wheel motor’s design implies that the Tachyon electric ATV omits a transmission, gearbox, CV joints, or differential. Powerland hopes that the additional mass on the wheels could be offset by the ATV’s excellent power delivery and minimal maintenance requirements.
The Tachyon has an 11kWh battery that can push the ATV for up to 110 km on a single charge. A higher 15.5kWh battery could also be available in the summer or later. The Tachyon can go from 0 to 60km/h in just four seconds. The speed limits of the Tachyon electric ATV will vary depending on the country. The speed could be limited to 60km/h in countries with tractor classification. However, the Tachyon can also deliver a top speed of 90km/h in jurisdictions with the L7e B1 classification.
The Powerland Tachyon ATV will first launch in Germany and then spread to other countries in the EU. The price of the Tachyon ATV in Europe is €14,500 while in the US it is estimated to cost $15,000. The prices are expected to increase when the mandatory taxes are factored in.
