Damon Motors and SINBON Join Forces To Put New Power Into Power Electronics

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Damon Motors today announced a strategic partnership with SINBON, the world leading provider of integrated design and production services for electronic components. Under the terms of the partnership, SINBON will provide premium engineering service both during the design and the manufacturing stages for the electrical assembly used in Damon�s line of motorcycles.

“SINBON and Damon have come together to break the limits on power, weight and volume when it comes to next-generation electric vehicle components,” said Chris Efstathiou, head of supply chain, Damon Motors. “This means rethinking entirely new component architectures and designs to produce the lightest weight yet high power electric vehicle electronics. SINBON will play a key role in not only helping deliver the first HyperSports to the road, but to future Damon Motorcycle models as well.”

High-performance motorcycles are one-tenth the weight of a typical car, yet have to deliver as much horsepower and torque, with one-tenth the available volume to house the parts such as motors, batteries and power electronics. To achieve such incredible densities of power and energy, Damon was forced to start from a completely blank sheet. Making components do double duty, merging multiple power electronics into a single board and in fewer housings, and even making the battery’s frame act as the frame of the motorcycle itself; everything was on the table. Ultimately it required all these techniques and more, many as yet unemployed in the automotive industry at large. SINBON’s advanced manufacturing techniques will allow Damon to scale its designs with the highest quality capabilities and expertise available, and has enabled Damon to meet its 200hp/200mph/200 miles of range goals. Damon can also leverage SINBON’s more than three decades of experience to act as a supply chain consultant for Damon for a variety of manufacturing, material readiness and logistics needs.

“Part of our ‘Go Green’ campaign, SINBON is committed to environmental sustainability by helping put more environmentally friendly products on our planet,” said Jesse Huang, V.P., global sales, SINBON. “We are very excited about our opportunity with Damon, arguably a green tech leader in the motorcycle industry.”
