Italian Volt To Showcase Lacama 2.0 Electric Motorcycle At EICMA 2023

Italian motorcycle manufacturer, Italian Volt, is preparing to reveal its production-ready electric motorcycle, the Lacama 2.0. The advanced electric motorcycle was initially introduced as a concept in 2017 and has since undergone several revisions and improvements. It is now ready to make its global debut at EICMA on November 7, 2022.

The Lacama 2.0, designed and built entirely in Italy by Italian Volt, a brand under the Tazzari Group, is a testament to modern engineering. The company emphasizes that the bike is designed for discerning motorcyclists who desire every detail of their bike to be perfect. In addition to its impressive performance, the Lacama 2.0 offers a wide range of customization options.

Italian Volt Lacama 2.0 Electric Motorcycle To Go Into Production In 2023

The Italian Volt Lacama 2.0 features an ultra-lightweight, single-cast aluminum frame that is created in-house. This design ensures a compact yet powerful electric motorcycle. Customers have the freedom to customize their bike by choosing from 10 design variants for the front end and selecting a saddle design from a range of two-seater and single-seater options.

The bike distinguishes itself with a choice of 22 different frame and swingarm colors. The saddles, available in 20 eco-leather colors, offer exceptional comfort thanks to memory gel technology. Each Lacama 2.0 is uniquely numbered and adorned with a plate on both sides of the frame, with progressive numbers laser engraved on the rear plate holder frame.

On the technological side, Tazzari EV Technology’s Fluid Battery System is a standout feature. This innovation involves batteries with cells submerged in a dielectric liquid, enabling efficient cooling, heating, and fireproof insulation. The Lacama 2.0 is equipped with a powerful PMSM Axial Flux Motor, producing 150 horsepower and 230 Nm (161 pound-feet) of torque, all while weighing only 11 kg. The direct drive utilizes a reinforced high-density carbon fiber belt, ensuring smooth and efficient energy transfer.

The motorcycle maximizes its range and performance with a highly efficient energy system. Additionally, the Lacama 2.0 offers four riding modes – Rain, Eco, Sport, and Rocket – providing versatility and adaptability to various riding conditions and preferences.

2024 Mitsubishi Triton Sports Truck Shown Alongside Specialized Versions

Mitsubishi revealed the new Triton, showcasing not only the regular production model and the rally truck but also a variety of fully accessorized versions. The midsize pickup, also known as the L200 and Strada in some markets, was presented in a “Lifestyle Zone” with different styles. One notable version featured a club cab with an aggressive body kit and a lowered sports suspension.

Mitsubishi plans to make these accessories available for purchase, allowing 2024 Triton owners to customize their pickups to have a SEMA-inspired look. Additionally, there was a single cab model modified for overland use, complete with a snorkel, tent, bull bar, and extra lights. Another version based on the double cab configuration had off-road enhancements such as a raised suspension and a slimmer front bumper for better approach angles.

Another high-riding Triton double cab was equipped with a truck bed topper and was towing a small camper trailer to demonstrate the versatility of the sixth-generation model. Joining these upgraded versions was a purpose-built rally car set to participate in the Asia Cross Country Rally. This double cab model featured Ralliart branding, a six-speed manual gearbox, the Super Select 4WD-II system, and a 2.4-liter diesel engine with 201 horsepower (150 kilowatts) and 347 pound-feet (470 Newton-meters) of torque.

Mitsubishi emphasizes that the Triton is truly all-new, featuring a tougher ladder frame, a lighter high-tensile steel body, and an overhauled suspension with a front double-wishbone setup and a rear leaf spring arrangement. The models equipped with Super Select 4WD-II also include Active Yaw Control (AYC) and offer five modes for the 4×4 system along with seven driving modes.

The 2024 Triton will face tough competition right from the start, as the Ford Ranger has already transitioned to its next-generation model. The Ford-built Volkswagen Amarok is also based on the Ranger and serves as the foundation for the new Amarok, except in South America where VW Commercial Vehicles still produces the first-generation Amarok.
