Green Transport

Village Charge Stations in Timor-Leste represent a pioneering initiative to enhance rural mobility and promote sustainable transportation solutions. These stations serve as vital hubs for recharging electric vehicles, particularly e-bikes, fostering eco-friendly practices and reducing carbon emissions in the region. By providing access to renewable energy sources such as solar panels and battery banks, Village Charge Stations in Timor-Leste contribute to the country's transition towards a greener and more resilient transportation infrastructure.  

1.  Geo-economic Survey:

• • Evaluation of products viable for transportation from villages to markets.

  • Considerations include road conditions, vehicle specifications, safety, volume, price, transport distance, time, shelf life, customer base, tax regulations, and local support services/materials.

  • Assessment of the potential number of villages for installations and the weight and valuation of transported products.

2.  Engineering:

• • Establishment of a design and development center for e-bikes, solar panels, battery banks, generators, and enclosure structures.

  • Parameters such as charge time, capacity, shipment volume/weight per station, and costs are detailed.

  • Demonstration of proof of concept, feasibility study, and prototype construction at the development center.

3.  Investment in SG Development Center:

• • Rental of engineering company premises and staff.

  • Acquisition of solar panels, generators, battery banks, and e-bikes with trolleys.

  • Implementation of payment token system for programming and management.

4.  SG Development Center - Village Station Design:

• • Design considerations for flat pack shipment, assembly on-site, use of imported and local materials, e-bike assembly with trolleys, spares/tools for repair, training manuals, and token reader interface.

5.  Project Phases:

• • Planned phases include SG development, pilot deployment at one TL site, operational trials/data collection, and subsequent installations.

  • Detailed expenses, revenue projections, equipment/materials/construction costs, maintenance, and monthly revenue are outlined.
