Cellumed-KMotors Unveil Swappable Electric Two-Wheeler Technology at Korea's Largest Global ICT Exhibition

Key products and core technologies related to the swappable battery electric two-wheeler business promoted by Cellumed will be unveiled for the first time at an international exhibition. Cellumed announced on the 11th that the KS-standard swappable battery electric two-wheeler model and related technologies, jointly developed with the swappable battery electric vehicle specialist company ‘K-Motors,’ will be showcased at the 2023 World IT Show (WIS 2023). K-Motors will participate in this exhibition together with Pohang City.

Last year, Cellumed selected ‘K-Motors’ as its partner for the electric two-wheeler business and made equity investments together with Pohang University of Science and Technology Technology Holdings. Since then, Cellumed and K-Motors have been jointly developing KS-standard swappable battery electric two-wheelers and related technologies.

WIS is the largest ICT comprehensive exhibition in Korea hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT, and this year’s WIS is held under the theme ‘Innovation for Tomorrow.’ The event is held simultaneously with the ‘2023 ICT Technology Commercialization Festival,’ ‘ITRC Talent Development Expo,’ and ‘C2C (Connect to Code),’ making it an optimal venue to showcase ICT-related technologies.

At this WIS, K-Motors is scheduled to participate as Pohang City’s representative company for swappable batteries and will introduce an innovative product that allows electric two-wheeler batteries to be swapped within one minute without any separate charging time. In particular, they will directly showcase the electric two-wheeler model ‘K-MAX,’ which can swap and operate battery packs in a short time using the national standard ‘Battery Swap Station (BSS)’ jointly developed with Cellumed, generating great anticipation among industry insiders.

K-Motors was selected last year as an ‘Outstanding Regional Software Leading Company’ and received the Pohang Mayor’s Award. It is growing as a representative company of swappable battery technology in Gyeongsangbuk-do. At the time of selection, the company was highly evaluated for its active response to carbon neutrality, including the battery sharing system using battery swap stations and the production of devices quantifying carbon reduction from electric two-wheeler operation.

A K-Motors official said, “Regarding the technology to be unveiled this time, we applied the national standard battery pack and battery pack swap system jointly developed with Cellumed to enable faster and more convenient battery swapping,” adding, “In the future, we plan to reflect this in electric two-wheelers to be launched domestically in collaboration with Cellumed and the world’s leading electric vehicle companies, and continuously develop related products for convenience.”

A Cellumed official stated, “The main contracts with global battery and electric vehicle companies currently underway are becoming visible through detailed condition adjustments and cooperation matters,” and added, “Accordingly, we will be the first to obtain approval for the national standard swappable battery system, establish a foothold to expand beyond Korea to global markets including Southeast Asia, and do our best to become the best global swappable platform company in line with the trends and policies of the carbon-neutral era.”
