Maya Heat Transfer Technologies Provides Support to Electra Meccanica to Advance SOLO Electric Vehicle

Montreal, Canada, December 06, 2016 --(PR.com)-- MAYA has been selected for its in-depth knowledge of Siemens’ product lifecycle management (PLM) software solutions as well as its expertise in the computer aided engineering (CAE) and the automobile industry, which are instrumental in ensuring design optimization in structure, thermal, flow and material composition and to maximize the overall performance of SOLO.

Developed by Electra Meccanica, the SOLO is the first all-electric, single-seat vehicle designed to reduce congestion, air pollution and operating cost. It has a top speed of 80 miles per hour with a 100 mile range on a full charge that would cover most drivers’ daily commuting needs, making SOLO the ideal supplementary vehicle that is fun to drive at an affordable price. Pre-orders can be made by visiting the SOLO website at http://smallEV.com.

"The team at MAYA has been an integral part in expediting the development time in helping bring the SOLO EV to market," said Jerry Kroll, CEO of Electra Meccanica. “Their engineering solutions help to enhance the vehicle’s performance capabilities in making it a true driver’s car with an unmatched ride and handling.”

“At MAYA we believe that electric cars, fed by grids with renewable energy, and the electrification of transportation in general, will be the driving force in reducing fossil fuel consumption. Working with Electra Meccanica, we intend to apply our expertise in simulation and our experience in the automotive industry to help bring SOLO to the market,” said Inta Zvagulis, President, MAYA Heat Transfer Technologies.
