BLUEBIRD BATTERIES LTD

Welcome to our website. Our company is developing battery, motor, hybrid and PV systems to enhance the range of conventional Electric Vehicles. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site and find what you are looking for.

Intelligent Battery Support System

Conventional electric vehicles have limited range. When their batteries are drained they must stop for hours until charged. This problem was tackled in 1990 by a British inventor who subsequently patented a refueling system for electric vehicles.

To prove the system, it was fitted into several racing cars named Bluebird Electric (BE1), (BE2) and (BE3). To show how adaptable the system could be, the same cartridge system was fitted to a Rover Metro, a compact family hatchback. The Rover did not need major chassis modification, demonstrating the system's suitability for modern unitary car and van designs.

PERFORMANCE ELECTRIC VEHICLES ............................... INSTANT REFUELING ........................ FAST, FUN AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY.

We have acquired the rights to the system and are now making further improvements to make electric circuit racing an attractive, environmentally friendly alternative to petrol fuels. The same system may be adapted for Vans, Buses, or even Milk Floats.

By using interchangeable battery packs or cartridges. The system will enable operators to keep vehicle fleets mobile throughout the day, by simply removing the spent pack and replacing it with a fresh one. The spent pack can then be recharged while the vehicle is back out on the road. Technological advances in charging packs will also reduce the time it takes to charge an IBSS pack making it possible to keep vehicles operational up to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Service, or refueling stations may operate profitably.

Eventually, it is hoped there will be enough refueling stations nationally for private operators to be freed from home charging or to be faced with battery replacement costs as a lump sum, where depreciation may be calculated electronically at point of sale, when exchanging packs. We call this billing system Pay As You Drive (PAYD).

Bluebird Electric 3

The IBSS system as used in the Bluebird electric vehicles featured on this site and elsewhere, enables electric vehicles to compete with traditionally powered rivals. The unique system of battery replacement will mean it takes no longer to refuel an electric vehicle than it does to fill a petrol or diesel fuel tank.

We are proud to be sponsors of the new Bluebird Electric 3 land speed record car shown above. The BE3 incorporates our latest cartridge. For details of the attempt please visit the organiser's website by clicking on the picture and following the links.

Bluebird IBSS vehicles are exempt from environmental restrictions now coming into force against use of commercial vehicles in urban centers. They are also very quiet, so avoiding noise abatement regulations restricting night-time operations.

In tandem, we are also developing solar assisted (electric) low cost transport for third world countries, the aim being to reduce CO2 being pumped into the atmosphere by millions of petrol and diesel rickshaws.
