Design Technology Released as Open Source
Doosan Mobility Innovation (hereinafter DMI) is expanding its business area into the land mobility sector.
On the 30th, DMI announced that it has signed a partnership agreement with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Electric Vehicle Team (MIT EVT) in the United States for the "joint development of motorcycles using hydrogen fuel cells."
The hydrogen motorcycle to be developed by both parties this time is a motorcycle directly designed and developed by MIT EVT, equipped with DMI's hydrogen fuel cell power pack module DM15.
The DM15 is a lightweight hydrogen fuel cell power pack module with high safety. It can output up to 1.5kW, has low noise, and can operate for long hours. Additionally, it is easy to customize, making it applicable not only to drone airframes but also to various land mobility devices. In fact, at the "2023 Drone Show Korea" held in Busan last February, a land unmanned mobile robot equipped with the DM15 was showcased.
MIT EVT has decided to release the motorcycle design technology (excluding hydrogen fuel cell-related technology) as open source to encourage more companies to participate in the development of land mobility using hydrogen fuel cells.
A DMI official stated, "This partnership is meaningful not only because it expands DMI's business area but also because it allows us to obtain data that can enhance the performance and durability of the DM15 to the next level," adding, "We will put more effort into discovering business fields and partners that can utilize hydrogen fuel cells."
