The
Circular Economy of manufacture the electric motorcycle
Introduction
of Circular Economy
In this report there is
deep and comprehensive discussion about the circular economy and its vital
application. The report is based on the manufacturing of electric motorcycles
with the help of all components that are required for manufacture the motorcycle.
As the sustainability manager for manufacturing these vehicles I have to check
each and every component of this motor cycle. I have to investigate some
important applications of circular economy. Through this I can easily able to
analyze and plan different future products that will play important part for my
business in the future. For future planning I will explain and describe some
short term and long term steps that will maintain the sustainable system for
the company for the future. For this I will give important description on the
different parts of the electric motor that include structural part, electric
parts and miscellaneous parts of the bike. Then on the basis of these
components I will demonstrate circular economy applications in detail. After
this there are some important points for the future industrial system in detail
and in the last part of the report there will be important discussion about the
short and long term steps and also some important polices for the manufacturing
of these motorcycles.
What is electric motorcycle?
These are such vehicles
that move without any oil. These type of bikes move through the help of
electricity. They are basically plug in electrical vehicles that contain
electric motor inside. The electricity in these bikes is stored in the
rechargeable batteries. Such motor bikes are also environment friendly, the
reason is that there is no consumption of any fuel. These bikes are able to hit
more than 124 miles per hour. These bikes are not too much common but in the future
it will become common due to their valuable features. The battery used for
these bikes is lithium ion battery and some companies’ also using nickel- metal
hydride.
Components
of Circular Economy of manufacture the electric motorcycle
For manufacturing
electric bikes there are some important points that need to be consider. The
components of this bike must be manufacture perfectly because if there is
little bit deficiency in the parts so its life will be reduced in results there
will be no sustainable environment for the manufacture companies. There are
some valuable components of electric bikes that are demonstrated in the given
section. The components of the electric motor cycle are divided into three
important types that include structural parts, electrical parts and
miscellaneous parts.
Structural parts
of Circular Economy of manufacture the electric motorcycle
In the structural parts
there are some parts for electric motorcycle that include suspension, wheels,
seat assembly, frame and handles.
Frame of Circular Economy of
manufacture the electric motorcycle
The frame of the bike is
most important because this part must be stronger and also attractive. The
reason is that if frame of the bike is stronger so that it can easily able to
maintain its other parts. After this if the frame of the bike is attractive so
it can easily able to convince the customers to buy their products. That why I
have taken old and strong bike parts for manufacturing electric motor bikes.
Seat
assembly of Circular
Economy
The seats of the bike
must be comfortable and reliable for the future. For the electric vehicle the
seat assemble plays a vital role because through this the customer can easily
able to enjoy its ride in proper way.
Wheels of Circular Economy
The speed of the electric
vehicle is extremely high so due to this the bike wheels must contain strong
grip. The reason is that through stronger grip they can easily able to maintain
on the road and refrain from accidents. For manufacturing I have chosen
stronger grip wheels (Electronics-notes, 2018).
Electrical parts
of Circular Economy
This is basically
electrical bike so for that the electrical parts of the bike are extremely
important. The electrical parts of the motor bike include motors, switches,
wires, batteries and circuit breakers. For this bike the electrical parts are
explained in the section below
Switches of Circular Economy
The switches I have
selected for the electrical bikes are push button temperature sustainable
switches.
Motors of Circular Economy
The motors are the main
components of these bikes because they are playing the role of the engine in
the bike. There are two types of motors but for that electric bike I will
choose DC motor. The main issue is for the power of the DC motor. This means
that what will be the sustainable DC motor for the manufacturing of this bike.
For that I have selected 72 Volts advanced DC motor. The reason is that this
motor is light in weight and also its efficiency is high (Bhuvaneswari & Saxena, 2017).
Wires of Circular Economy
For this bike I have selected 10 feet of 2 GA wire
that are cut according to the requirement. For covering the battery the wire
must be thick and better quality wire.
Controller of Circular Economy
For making the controller
of the bike it must be considered that the battery of bike will give proper
voltage and also the amperes according to the requirements. If the amperes of
the electric bike is high this means it will generate more power but due to
this its cost will be higher. This is not sustainable idea. The bike has to
generate amperes according to requirement that this valuable sustainable
solution for cost (Deng & et.al, 2017).
Chargers of Circular Economy
The charger must be
according to the feature of the battery that can able to charge the battery in
efficient way. The charger must be able to maintain the amperes that will not
harm the battery.
Batteries of Circular Economy
For this bike I have
selected the lithium ion battery because the reason is that the efficiency of
this battery is quite high and also it has some reasonable price. Best
advantage of this battery is that the size of this battery is small.
Miscellaneous parts
Circular Economy
The miscellaneous parts
of the motorcycles include its tires, transmission, upholstery and its
bodywork. These parts are like the structural parts (Chen & Lai, 2012).
Tires of Circular Economy
The tire of the bike
contain high grip because through the tires the efficiency of the bike is
increased in better way.
Transmission of Circular Economy
The transmission of this
electric bike is manual. There is proper system for the gear box and clutch
system. This is because it will easily able to maintain the power energy of the
motor bike.
Bodywork of Circular Economy
This is actually the
outer part of the body. This is need to be stronger and attractive, stronger
because it can easily able to assemble all heavy part of bike in it.
Upholstery of Circular Economy
The seat of the bike must be comfortable for this bike
I have selected the seat that is cost effective and also comfortable.
Application of circular economy
concepts of Circular Economy
The circular economy is
playing an important role for maintaining a sustainable environment. This is
inspired by the cyclical model of nature that is involve in converting the
waste material into common resources that are involved in reduction, recycling
and reuse of some valuable elements. Due to circular economy there is huge
chance for the manufacturers and also the producers that can easily able to
think about the life cycle of the resources. Through the help of this many
company are able to maintain their organizational structure for the future.
There are some important applications of circular economy that many companies
and small organizations are using for maintaining their future sustainability
in the market.
New
roads with the help of old tires of Circular Economy
This application is used
in Redisa that is the company of South Africa. This company is involved in
using the old tires and from these tire they are making new roads. The company
collects different tires from around the country. Then this company processes
the required materials in proper way through different machines. Then after
this through this material new roads are constructed like fuels that can be
used for cements and also for making rubber mats. This is one of the best
sustainable solution for the tires
Furnishing
stores garbage
of Circular Economy
It can be seen that with
the help of garbage different construction material are created that can be
used as the furniture for the shops. This can be done with the help of
recycling and redesigning of garbage in proper way. In the garbage that include
some plastic and also some electronic waste. This is used by Miniwiz that is
basically the Taiwanese company. beside this there also some companies that are
involved in using the garbage for making new things that include Nike.
Renting
of personal cars
of Circular Economy
The best application and
also profitable for the economy of the country. This means that rent your own
car that is standing in your garage. This is done by the company named as
Drivy. This company is involved in keeping in touch with the people that wanted
their own cars and wanted to use them for their use. They will contact with the
real owner of the car and ask them for putting their car on rent. Through this
those people who wanted car for moving from one place to anther are able to use
this car easily. This service is given by the Allianz Company located in
Germany.
New
accessories through recycled plastic of Circular Economy
Plastic is one of the
most used material around the world. The reason is that this is quite cheap
material and can be used easily after recycle. Ecoalf is a Spanish company that
is involved in making different clothes and other things with the help of
recycle plastic. This technology is expanded day by day around the world. Now
many companies are involved in making new innovative things through the help of
plastic.
Recycle
for environment
of Circular Economy
There are some companies
that are involved in using the some recycle objects for making new things. This
is one of the best application for the circular economy. This is used by the
Umicore Company that is a Belgian company. This company is involved in
recycling those objects that is valuable for the environment. This company is
recycling the products like batteries, metal or some refinery waste that can be
separated from the other harmful elements. These harmful materials include
cobalt, antimony, nickel and tungsten. Through this there will be no difficulty
to make products that are sustainable and also good for the environments
Sustainable
home components
of Circular Economy
This application of
circular economy is too much common in every company that contain a strong
economy system. The most famous company that is involved in making sustainable
home elements is Dutch architecture studio. This company is involved in making
mobile homes through the help of recycle material. This can be done with the
help of recycle metals and plastics that can easily able to save up to 90% of
the carbon dioxide emission. This is done by the help of some solar panels on
the roof top that make it more sustainable material than any other like
concrete.
Capital
for circular economy
of Circular Economy
Many private companies
are involved in making huge profit through private equity firm. Also through
some emerging projects that are based on the circular economy. All of these
products are involved in keeping the environment perfect and economy of the
country stable (Huesemann, 2003).
Future sustainable industrial system
of Circular Economy
In the future many new
and old industries are moving towards the sustainability. The reason is that
global warming is increasing day by day. Due to this Ozone layer that is
present right above the sky is damaged a lot. The industries are wasting their
waste in the rivers or streams due to this many living organism are damaged.
That is the reason why the future industries are moving towards sustainable
system. This is because they want to improve the environment of the world and
also wanted to stay in the market for a long period of time (Epstein, 2018).
For this report electric
motor bike is manufactured, in the past bike are moved with the help of crude
oil like gasoline. These bikes are not good for the environment for the future.
The reason is that the oil resources are non-renewable resources that can be
end after some time. This will become one of the huge problem for the different
companies that are involved in making bikes. This idea is not sustainable for
the future of bike manufacturing companies. Due to this many bike industries
are moving towards electrical system that can be used as the main part of the
bike. This means that new bikes will moved through the help of electrical
energy. This industrial system for the bikes will be sustainable for the future
the reason is that the electrical power energy is renewable energy and it is
also beneficial for the environment. In the future most of the industries will
move towards sustainability. This is because they have a major influence for
making the global environment beneficial for the local human beings. It can be
seen that many industrial experts has suggest that the industrial system will
be changed to about 30% because they are working on greenhouse gas generation
project. This industrial system is also responsible for making the quality of
life for many people around the world. But the problem is that this is not
enough because this system is not sustainable due to many climate changes
around the world. This system is expanding and this system is creating
unintended and harmful consequences for the environment that is present around
us. This why in the future there is a need of proper sustainable industrial
system in the world that is able to minimize the effect of global warming in
the world?
It can be seen from the
research some manufacturing industries are involved in making products that are
good for the environment. Like the industry that is involved in making electric
motor bikes and also electric cars. These industries doing well for the
betterment of the humans and also for the future industries. In the future the
industries must have to focus on improving the environment this can be done
through sustainable industrial systems. It is more important that to analyze
the impact of the product that is manufactured in the industry. Like the
product that is manufactured from different chemicals the waste material from
manufacturing these products is not good for the environment. For the future
that is must need to be perfect and also best industrial system for the
chemical industries. Through this there will be quite lower impact on the
environment of the country.
There are some industries
that have taken some important actions on the future sustainability of the
environment. These improvements are regarding to the dramatic improvement on
the system of the industry. This can be done by deploying expertise on the
individual business. If single industry is involved in implementing technology.
This means that this industry is completely failed to implement a sustainable
environment in their industry. For the future this is one of the huge challenge
for the industrial system. This challenge is one of the huge challenge for the
industrial system that is need to be stop if they wanted a sustainable
industrial system they just wanted to ensure that the system must be according
to the environment (ESM Solutions, 2015).
Short term and long term steps polices
and standards of Circular Economy
The electric motorcycles
are not much common, the reason is that this is latest technology in the world.
Now this technology will be increased day by day. For this the manufacturing
electric motor cycle industries has to work on the sustainability. This can be
done by setting some long term goal and also some short terms goals for
different components that are used to manufacture the electric motor bikes. In
the short term policies the industry has to set some future plans for different
components for making bikes. This means that the company will buy some products
for the suppliers with short term agreement with them. In this agreement there
are some important points that are mentioned in proper way (Searcy, 2012).
For short term, the
policy is to make sure that the consumers of electric bikes continue to get
reliable electric bikes that they can use in their daily lives. Another policy
is to continue the development of electric bikes in a sustainable way.
Meanwhile, for the long term, there are two policies that organizations
manufacturing electric bikes have to consider. The first one is to make sure
that the price of these electric bikes is affordable which can be supported by
any individual. The second one is to keep the manufacturing of bikes
conservative so that there is no impact on the environment.
Structural parts
of Circular Economy
The structural parts of
the electric bikes are so much important for buying these products the supplier
must be reliable. This means that if the supplier is reliable for the industry
then this industry will be reliable for a long period of time. As the
sustainable manager for the bike manufacturing I have to set some long term
policy with the supplier of the company.
Electrical parts
of Circular Economy
The main role in the
manufacturing of electric bikes is played by the electrical parts. The
electrical parts must be sustainable the reason is that total price is depend
on the electrical parts of the bike. For this the relationship with the
supplier must be long term because through this they can easily able to make
electric bikes that can easily stable in the market for a long period of time.
Through long term policy with the electric parts suppliers the company can
easily able to decrease the price of bike during manufacturing. The best
advantage is that there will be not a single trouble for supplying the
electrical parts.
Miscellaneous parts
of Circular Economy
For supplying the
miscellaneous parts from the suppliers, I must have to set short term and long
term policy for the supplier. Through this I can easily able to make more
profit on the manufacturing of bikes in efficient way. In these miscellaneous
parts the most important part is regarding to the transmission parts of the
electrical bike. This can be done by setting long term policy with the
supplier. Other miscellaneous parts can be achieved through setting short term
policies with different suppliers for the sake of profit (A.Cancino, Paz, Ramaprasad, & Syn, 2018)
.Conclusion
on Circular Economy
Summing up all the
discussion from above it is concluded that the sustainable manufacturing of
electrical bikes are extremely necessary for better industrial system. I can
easily able to analyze and plan different future products that will play
important part for my business in the future. These are such vehicles that move
without any oil. These type of bikes move through the help of electricity. They
are basically plug in electrical vehicles that contain electric motor inside.
Valuable components of electric bikes that are demonstrated in the given
section. The components of the electric motor cycle are divided into three
important types that include structural parts, electrical parts and
miscellaneous parts.
The company collects different tires from around the
country. Then this company processes the required materials in proper way
through different machines. Then after this through this material new roads are
constructed like fuels that can be used for cements and also for making rubber
mats. This company is involved in making mobile homes through the help of
recycle material. This can be done with the help of recycle metals and plastics
that can easily able to save up to 90% of the carbon dioxide emission. In the
future many new and old industries are moving towards the sustainability. The
reason is that global warming is increasing day by day. Due to this Ozone layer
that is present right above the sky is damaged a lot. For short term, the
policy is to make sure that the consumers of electric bikes continue to get
reliable electric bikes that they can use in their daily lives. Another policy
is to continue the development of electric bikes in a sustainable way.
