About us

Simko, an innovative EV tech startup, is transforming electric vehicles with advanced engineering to lower weight and cost. Current Industry Challenges: In today's market, EVs often rely on conventional designs that merely replace combustion engines with electric motors, leading to a 30% weight increase compared to traditional cars. This added weight necessitates larger motors and batteries, creating a costly weight compounding cycle. Our Unique Approach: At Simko, we break this cycle by focusing solely on essential components. By incorporating axial flux motors, we have reduced motor size by 5x while enhancing torque, allowing us to eliminate the gearbox and shed over 50 kg per vehicle. Relocating the drivetrain to the wheels also removes the need for differentials, driveshafts, and additional components, achieving even more weight and space savings. As a result, we have developed a smaller and lighter vehicle that requires fewer materials and less powerful motors. Our compact drivetrain also means lower energy needs, reducing battery size and further cutting weight. Remarkable Innovations: With the same approach applied across all vehicle areas, we've achieved 30-50% weight savings for EVs, leading to lower manufacturing costs. Our lightweight technology will be showcased in our hypercar, Ceiba, which features patent-pending aerodynamic innovations to achieve a drag coefficient 20% lower than most cars. Vision and Business Model: Simko’s vision is not just about radical technology; it’s about climate action. Our goal is to become carbon-negative while transforming the global EV market. Our business model focuses on licensing EV drivetrain and lightweight technology, with initial revenue from sales of exclusive low-volume production electric vehicles.

  • Thinking About Going Electric? Here’s a Quick Guide! Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming the way we drive, offering environmental benefits and lower operating costs. But which type is right for you? HEVs: Combine a gasoline engine with an electric motor for better fuel economy and lower emissions. PHEVs: Add the ability to plug in for a longer electric range and reduced emissions. BEVs: 100% electric, with zero tailpipe emissions and the lowest running costs. Your choice depends on your driving habits, budget, and environmental goals. Don’t forget to explore charging options, government incentives, and test drive models to find your perfect fit! 👉 Don't forget to follow, like and share with friends #EVs #Sustainability #Engineering #Innovation #Technology Credit: @Rashid Akram

  • Ground Effect in Automotive Aerodynamics Ground effect is a game-changer in automotive aerodynamics. By utilizing airflow to create low-pressure zones under the car, it generates downforce that enhances grip, stability, and cornering performance at high speeds. Widely used in Formula 1 and high-performance vehicles, ground effect demonstrates how innovative aero design can maximize speed and control without adding drag. It's a perfect synergy of engineering and performance optimization. 👉 Don't forget to follow, like and share with friends #Automotive #Aerodynamics #Engineering #Formula1 #Innovation Credit: Formula1

  • Boosting Efficiency with In-Wheel Motors In-wheel motors are transforming the future of electric vehicles by placing electric motors directly inside the wheels, offering a more efficient and space-saving drivetrain. This cutting-edge technology eliminates the need for traditional transmissions, differentials, and axles, reducing mechanical losses and significantly improving overall efficiency. By providing instant torque to each wheel independently, in-wheel motors enable more precise control, enhance regenerative braking, and deliver improved performance—all while optimizing space for batteries or cargo. As EV technology continues to evolve, the efficiency and design flexibility offered by in-wheel motors make them a game-changer for future mobility. 👉 Don't forget to follow, like and share with friends #EVs #Automotive #Innovation #Engineering #Technology Credit: @TheEngineersPost

  • The Weight Factor in the Drive for Sustainability One of the key considerations in electric vehicle (EV) design is their weight. While EVs are leading the charge toward sustainable transportation, their heavier batteries bring unique challenges and opportunities: EVs are often heavier than traditional vehicles due to large battery packs. This impacts range, handling, and tire wear. To offset the weight, manufacturers are turning to lightweight materials like aluminum, carbon fiber, and advanced composites, optimizing efficiency without compromising safety. Heavier vehicles may also affect roads, bridges, and parking structures, pushing the need for updated infrastructure standards. As the EV industry evolves, addressing weight challenges while enhancing sustainability and performance will remain a driving force for innovation. 👉 Don't forget to follow, like and share with friends #ElectricVehicles #Sustainability #Automotive #Innovation #Technology 

  • Mind the Blind Spots Blind spots aren't only on the sides of our vehicles – A-pillars, the structures on either side of your windshield, can create critical blind spots too. As you approach a junction, these pillars can easily block sightlines, hiding entire vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians from view. Did you know? The wider the A-pillars, the larger the blind spot. This can conceal motorcycles or even small cars, making it vital to take a second, careful look before pulling out. Slow down, double-check at junctions, and always look out for faster-moving motorcycles and cyclists, who might just be hidden by your A-pillars. Let’s drive with extra awareness and make the roads safer for everyone! 👉 Don't forget to follow, like and share with friends #Technology #Innovation #Solution #EV #Engineering Source: https://lnkd.in/eCVtHRzx
