World first application of LiO (Lithium Air) in a vehicle.
As a demonstration in Andreas Christensen PhD. thesis on the subject “Management of Lithium Air batteries”. The demonstration was done with a Lithium balance BMS prototype, that could manage the LiO battery and make the vehicle run on an electric circuit.
Andreas Christensen says:
” It’ a 16 cell Li-air 2P8S configuration of button cells. The vehicles consumed between 80-100 mA during driving.
The battery pack was undersized and too small for the application, which lead to a C-rate of about 15C and only made the “vehicle” run half way around the small circuit.
At last we succeeded to make 2,5 rounds on a single charge.”

Rasmus Sass Bjørch joined Garia A/S in 2006. He has a mechanical background and was in the beginning designing chassis frame and wheel suspension. Rasmus found interest for batteries in the early years at Garia and started to learn and work with batteries.
He is now the responsible for the propulsion systems at Garia, including wire harness, batteries, motors, motor controllers, transmission etc.
Garia are designing, developing and manufacturing electric vehicles for golf, leisure and utility purpose.
Garia also does engineering services and are currently developing several deferent projects in the electric vehicle segment, such as cargo scooters, motorcycles and multi person vehicles.
