Alessandro Brannetti CRP Technology and Energica prepare for MotoE 2020
Energica official tester Alessandro Brannetti during the latest official MotoE test of the 2020 FIM Enel MotoE World Cup at Jerez. The Ego Corsa counts some parts manufactured by CRP Meccanica (using Subtractive Manufacturing technology) and CRP Technology (using Additive Manufacturing and Windform composite materials).
Energica will provide the Ego Corsa machines, as well as technical support, for the 18 riders and twelve teams entering the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup competition in 2020.
Although the forced stop due to Covid-19 disease will lead to a reprogramming of many sporting events, the behind-the-scenes preparation began months ago, reaching its climax in the weeks immediately following the end of the 2019 Championship.
CRP Technology VP and CTO Eng. Franco Cevolini said: “As Energica’s technological and financial incubator, CRP Technology has been supporting the development of Energica Ego Corsa for the 2019 competition. We are still working alongside Energica to reach a new season as superb as the past one.”
Energica, the single manufacturer of the series, and CRP Technology have been working hard during the off season to prepare for the event.
Cevolini added: “Our innovative and avant garde solutions in the field of additive manufacturing technology, especially Selective Laser Sintering process with our Windform 3D printing materials, have made Energica a unique model throughout the world.”
On 10-12 March the first of the two official tests were held at Jerez, Spain, helping the riders and teams get up to speed ahead of the season.
Energica’s test squad was also on-track with its official test rider, Alessandro Brannetti. Some of inside the Ego Corsa’s new battery were 3D printed by CRP Technology using Selective Laser Sintering and Windform FR2, the latest disruptive material from the Windform TOP-LINE range.
