CASE STUDY - UNVEILING THE WORLD'S FIRST ELECTRIC_TAXI FOR THE TROPICS Named EVA, its innovative design and various features will help to reduce carbon and exhaust emissions as well as local noise. The electric taxi, EVA, is built by TUM CREATE, a collaboration between NTU and one of Europe's top universities, Germany's Technische Universität München (TUM). The project is supported by the National Research Foundation, Prime Minister's Office, Singapore NTU President Professor Bertil Andersson said that the EVA Electric Taxi project is a good example of future electromobility and its possibilities, achieved by leveraging NTU's established track record in application-driven engineering and TUM's deep expertise in electromobility. TUM CREATE Chief Executive Officer Professor Maria Elisabeth Michel-Beyerle said many of the technologies researched and used in building EVA, such as its specially tailored fast-charging battery system, had yielded innovation:s beneficial to the automotive industry. The research team's decision to build an electric taxi fitting Singapore's climate was for very practical reasons. By replacing fuel-burning vehicles with electric-powered ones, carbon emissions as well as local noise and exhaust emissions can be reduced EVA's fast-charging battery system is able to give it a range of up to 200 kilometres with just a 15 minute recharge. Despite having to house a large battery pack, EVA is actually 150kg lighter than other comparable-sized taxis due to its lightweight carbon-fibre composites. Its ergonomically designed seats are equipped with a purpose-built system
