Triumph has announced that the brand’s electric motorcycle ‘Project Triumph TE-1’ has completed Phase 3. The Triumph TE-1 is a unique collaboration between Triumph Motorcycles, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd, and WMG at the University of Warwick. During the Phase 2 completion, Triumph revealed the new electric motorcycle’s design & styling. Now, thanks to Phase 3 completion, Triumph Motorcycles has revealed the TE-1’s prototype. The final build of the prototype demonstrator gives us all the latest and final innovations from the project partner workstreams.
Triumph TE-1 Prototype Demonstrator Features
Triumph
Triumph reveals that the TE-1 prototype demonstrated showcases the final chassis and subframe. Under the collaboration, Triumph will also be responsible for designing and developing the cockpit, panels and wheels. The brand will also provide the TE-1 with a final drive system, including transmission and the Gates Carbon belt drive. The TE-1 comes with Triumph motorcycle control software and electronics. Along with this, the motorcycle will ride with Ohlins USD cartridge forks along with a unique prototype Ohlins RSU. Braking components include Brembo M50 monobloc callipers.
Williams Advanced Engineering
Williams Advanced Engineering will be responsible for the design and development of the final iteration of the prototype WAE battery pack. The brand will be integrating a dedicated cell packaging for optimum centre of gravity. WAE is also responsible for the vehicle control unit, DC-DC converter, integrated cooling, charge port, and styled carbon covers.
Integral Powertrain
Milton Keynes based engineering consultant Integral Powertrain will be responsible for the final prototype powertrain. The powertrain will come with a scalable integrated inverter and combined motor with silicon carbide switching technology along with an integrated cooling system.
WMG, University of Warwick
WMG at the University of Warwick has revealed that the final pre-live trial simulation has been completed. The results from the test reveal that the project is on course. WMG also reveals that the TE-1 will deliver the intended performance and durability outcomes, thanks to the findings at the University of Warwick.
Triumph also reveals that the test results exceed current benchmarks and targets set by the UK Automotive Council for 2025. Triumph will use the concept study to develop electric motorcycles of the future.
