UTV / Golf / ATV

Low speed electric vehicles are an exciting, rapidly-expanding market. Utility Terrain Vehicles (UTVs), Golf Carts, All Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) and Neighborhood Electric Vehicles (NEVs) all fall into this category. More and more people are opting for electric versions of these low speed vehicles over their internal-combustion counterparts which are polluting, noisy and expensive to fuel and maintain.

The growing popularity of this market is apparent in the USA, where most states permit Light Service Vehicles (LSVs) on regular roads. The sport and hunting markets have also embraced the idea of electric utility terrain vehicles. Many hunters and farmers are turning to electric recreation vehicles because of their instant torque and smooth handling capabilities. In North America, we can find communities where NEVs are the main source of transportation. At ASI, we are proud to be the supplier of choice for several reputable original equipment manufacturers in the LSV market.

ASI have flexible applications engineers who are able to convert vehicles to electric power at our facility or on-site at the client’s facility. Our ability to improve performance with our state-of-the-art controllers, whether Series-based or Separately Excited, has been a proven asset that keeps our clients coming back to us time and time again.
