Electric vehicles: Alkè's most advanced technologies
Alkè has successfully combined environmental sustainability, robustness and innovation in a range of vehicles ideal for industrial, municipal, airport and tourist applications. Today, the company stands out for its integration of some of the world's most advanced technologies: 4WD all-wheel drive, geofencing, remote control systems, hydrogen fuel cell power, cloud systems, ATEX compliance and solutions for unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).
Choose the technologies to integrate with your electric vehicle
4WD all-wheel drive: performance on any terrain
Four-wheel drive (4WD) is one of the key technologies used in Alkè vehicles to ensure superior performance even in complex and difficult environments, such as construction sites, mountainous areas or snow-covered surfaces. Unlike front-wheel or rear-wheel drive, the 4WD system distributes power to all four wheels, increasing the vehicle grip and stability. In Alkè models, electric four-wheel drive allows you to overcome steep slopes, tackle uneven terrain and operate safely in situations where conventional vehicles might fail. The 4WD traction, available in the ATX4 range on the 480 models, extends the fields of use to off-road areas or very critical terrain, previously unthinkable.
Electric vehicles with geofencing
Geofencing: digital control of operating areas
Geofencing is a GPS-based technology that allows specific geographical areas within which a vehicle can move to be virtually delimited. This tool is particularly useful in urban, industrial and airport contexts where it is essential to maintain control of movements for reasons of safety, logistical efficiency or environmental regulations. Alkè vehicles equipped with geofencing can be programmed to slow down, stop or send an alert when they leave a specific area. This also allows you to monitor vehicle use in real time, prevent theft or misuse, and optimise workflows. Geofencing is currently being studied and may be applied to vehicles in the ATX4 range.
Electric vehicles for airports
Rear remote control: efficiency in airports
For the airport sector, Alkè has developed vehicles with rear remote control, a solution that allows operators to manoeuvre the vehicle from outside the cab, maintaining a direct view of the load or operations in progress. This feature is essential for baggage transport, handling delicate goods or refuelling operations, where precision and safety are essential. The remote control system ensures greater responsiveness in tight manoeuvres and reduces operating times, making Alkè vehicles perfect for environments where every second counts. This tool can be installed on both the ATX3 and ATX4 ranges of vehicles.
Hydrogen vehicles
Hydrogen fuel cells: extended range and zero emissions
One of the most promising areas in the transition to zero-emission mobility is hydrogen fuel cells. This technology allows electricity to be produced on board the vehicle by combining hydrogen and oxygen, with water vapour as the only by-product. Alkè has launched pilot projects to integrate this technology into its vehicles, achieving significantly greater range than conventional battery-powered electric vehicles and much faster refuelling times. The use of hydrogen also allows for high performance in extreme climates, making Alkè vehicles even more versatile. Hydrogen fuel cell technology will be available for the ATX4 range.
Cloud system Alkè
Cloud-based vehicle monitoring system
One of the features that sets Alkè vehicles apart is their integration with the cloud platform for remote management. Thanks to advanced software, it is possible to monitor the vehicle status, driving parameters, fuel consumption and GPS position in real time, and even perform predictive diagnostics. Fleets can be managed centrally, reducing operating costs and optimising productivity. One of the main advantages is fault prevention. The cloud system is designed to generate automatic alerts in the event of critical conditions or anomalies, allowing you to intervene before the problem becomes serious and compromises the vehicle. The Alkè Cloud platform can be installed on all Alkè electric vehicles, i.e. both the ATX3 and ATX4 ranges.
ATEX: safety in explosive environments
For applications in high-risk environments, such as chemical plants, refineries or fuel depots, Alkè offers ATEX-certified vehicles, i.e. compliant with European directives for explosive atmospheres. These vehicles are designed not to generate sparks, overheating or ignition sources, ensuring maximum operational safety. The electrical components, motor and battery system are completely sealed and tested to rigorous standards, allowing Alkè vehicles to operate in areas classified as hazardous without compromising performance. The ATEX conversion is available for vehicles in the ATX3 range.
UGV: autonomous vehicles
Autonomous vehicles (UGV – Unmanned Ground Vehicles) represent one of the most futuristic innovations in logistics and industry, and Alkè is leading the way in this field too. By integrating LIDAR sensors, cameras, high-precision GPS and artificial intelligence, Alkè vehicles can be transformed into autonomous units capable of following predefined routes, avoiding obstacles and loading and unloading goods without human intervention. This type of technology is ideal for indoor environments such as warehouses, factories or industrial campuses, where automation improves efficiency and reduces accidents. The modularity of the Alkè platform makes it easier to adopt these solutions in different operating contexts. UGV technology, currently in the experimental phase and not yet available on the market, is set to be integrated into the ATX4 range of vehicles.
