In the professional electric vehicle sector, true innovation is not measured solely by range or performance, but by the ability to ensure reliability and safety under any operating conditions.
It is precisely with this approach that EVI Motor continues to develop EviCountry, the 4×4 electric utility vehicle designed to meet the needs of agriculture, urban maintenance, airports, industrial logistics, tourist facilities, and municipal applications.
Behind every evolution of the project lies intensive research, development, and field validation. This journey has led EVI Motor to collaborate with Vimoter, a company specializing in the design and manufacture of braking systems for automotive and industrial applications.
A vehicle designed to really get the job done
EviCountry was designed with features that are very different from those of traditional light electric vehicles.
The combination of all-wheel drive, an industrial chassis, high load capacity, and N1 certification allows the vehicle to operate both on the road and in particularly challenging off-road conditions.
However, these characteristics require higher safety standards, especially when the vehicle is used to carry heavy loads or on terrain with steep slopes.
For this reason, EVI Motor has launched a program to optimize the braking system in collaboration with Vimoter’s technical team.
From Operational Needs to Custom Design
The collaboration between the two companies began at Bauma, one of the leading international trade shows for industrial vehicles and professional machinery.
During the technical meetings, it became clear that a braking solution with better performance than the configurations used in the early stages of the project needed to be developed.
The goal was not simply to replace certain components, but to design a system capable of ensuring consistent performance, safety, and reliability even under the most severe operating conditions.
After a series of comparative tests and engineering evaluations, a specific configuration based on 2×44 calipers was selected; it was developed to ensure optimal stopping distances and a progressive braking response up to a maximum speed of 80 km/h.
The entire system was designed as an integrated solution comprising:
- dedicated brake calipers;
- specific wiring harnesses;
- optimized components;
- Brake disc custom-designed for the EviCountry frame.
This approach has made it possible to achieve maximum integration between the vehicle’s mechanical, electronic, and dynamic systems.
The most important test: the test with a total mass of 9 metric tons
In the world of commercial vehicles, theory must always be backed up by practice.
To validate the new braking system, EVI Motor put EviCountry through a particularly rigorous test.
The vehicle was coupled to an airport tow trailer, resulting in a combined gross weight of approximately 9,000 kg—an extremely demanding condition far exceeding typical daily operating scenarios.
The result confirmed the success of the project.
Even under extreme stress, the braking system continued to provide an effective, progressive, and controlled response, ensuring stability, safety, and operational reliability.
A forward-looking development approach
For EVI Motor, every component is a fundamental part of the project.
Safety is not viewed as merely a regulatory requirement, but as a strategic element that contributes to the overall quality of the vehicle.
The collaboration with Vimoter is a concrete example of how specialized technology partnerships can accelerate innovation and continuously improve the performance of a professional electric utility vehicle.
Every test, every validation, and every improvement helps build an increasingly reliable platform for companies, public agencies, airport operators, farms, and industrial enterprises that choose professional electric mobility.
EviCountry: an Electric Utility Vehicle designed and developed in Italy
EviCountry’s growth is driven by a clear philosophy: listening to the market, gathering real-world data from the field, and collaborating with highly specialized partners.
It is this approach that enables EVI Motor to develop a commercial electric vehicle capable of handling complex applications while maintaining high standards of safety, durability, and reliability.
Because innovation doesn’t come from just a good idea.
It stems from the ability to test it, improve it, and bring it to life every day.
