Yamaha adds Lithium-Ion battery tech

Yamaha adds Lithium-Ion battery tech: Yamaha Motor Europe N.V., Branch UK has introduced Lithium-Ion battery technology into its golf car range with the introduction of the new Drive² AC Li.

The new Lithium-Ion battery is a high-performance, maintenance-free, cobalt-free unit from the renowned manufacturer, Roypow®, and offers a number of key benefits. Linked to a powerful 3.3 kW motor, it provides fast, smooth acceleration and, with greater torque than a conventional lead acid battery, it’s 20% faster climbing a 15-degree incline.

Of appeal to golf course operators, the batteries are maintenance-free resulting in considerable savings in time and labour costs. They also come with a five-year warranty and a useful working life of up to eight years. They charge almost twice as quickly as their lead-acid equivalents and provide in excess of three rounds before they require recharging.

A sophisticated, comfortable and powerful golf car, the new Drive² AC Li has fully independent front suspension, optimised to compliment the lightweight battery pack, to provide a pleasant, smooth ride. The rear suspension has been redesigned and offers increased comfort for the golfer while allowing golf course owners to deliver a better experience for their members and guests.

The new Drive² AC Li can utilise YamaTrack, Yamaha’s management system, that improves the operational efficiency of any golf car fleet. A 25 cm (10”) screen, mounted on the dashboard, allows golfers to enjoy 3-D terrain graphics and customisable Pro tips. Geo-zones can be set up to protect environmentally sensitive areas and players can pre-order food and beverages while out on the course.

The system also has a Lockdown feature for improving overnight security; it allows the monitoring of battery condition to improve fleet rotation and can send maintenance alerts from the car to the pro shop.

Commenting on the arrival of the new Drive² AC Li, Dan Palmer, Manager, Power Products (Yamaha Motor) said, “The use of Lithium-Ion technology offers several performance advantages such as more rounds per charge, longer life and faster charging. All of which are major and important factors for golf course operators.

“When coupled with our YamaTrack system, course operators can manage their fleets, removing the hassle and optimising their business operations and profitability. As you would expect, we will continue to stay close to our customers in the golf fleet sector to ensure that we identify and provide solutions that best meet their needs.”

Jebsen & Jessen major projects: Jebsen & Jessen Technology – Turf & Irrigation (JJ T&I), a division of the Technology business unit of diversified industrial conglomerate Jebsen & Jessen Group, has further cemented its presence in the region through major collaborations and partnerships with leading golf clubs in Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Representatives from Sentosa Golf Club, Toro, and Jebsen and Jessen Group after signing a 10-year partnership – the first of such scale in the region Toro and Avant turf equipment supplied by Jebsen & Jessen Technology (Turf & Irrigation) at the prestigious Klub Golf Bogor Raya in Indonesia.

In Singapore, JJ T&I gained a major vote of confidence from the world-renowned Sentosa Golf Club, as their long-standing relationship was marked by a new 10-year partnership in March 2022 – the first partnership in South East Asia of such scale. JJ T&I, as the official distributor of The Toro Company, will support Sentosa Golf Club’s mission to provide a world-class playing experience, through the supply of hybrid and electric equipment and water-saving irrigation systems. These will also complement the club’s commitment to its sustainability goals, with a pledge to be the world’s first carbon-neutral golf club by 2022.

In Ha Nam, Vietnam, JJ T&I will be supplying and installing the irrigation systems for the new 36-hole Rose Canyon Resort, designed by Nicklaus Design and developed by BRG Group. Alongside Toro, JJ T&I will be supplying the irrigation systems and providing irrigation installation services for the South course, which is expected to be completed in late 2022. Work on the North course will begin as soon as the South course has been completed.

Other new projects awarded to JJ T&I in Vietnam include the Golden Sands Golf Resort in Hue. The turnkey project is estimated to be completed within the second quarter of 2023, and JJ T&I will be handling all stages of the project, from supplying irrigation systems and materials to providing installation services.

JJ T&I was also awarded a contract in February 2022 by PT. Bogor Raya Development’s Klub Golf Bogor Raya, one of the most prestigious golf courses in Bogor, Indonesia, for the supply of golf course equipment. JJ T&I provided steadfast support for Klub Golf Bogor Raya in times of need, providing much-needed turf maintenance units after a fire damaged the premises. Klub Golf Bogor Raya was hosting a golf tournament the same day and the maintenance units supplied, which included lawn mower units, allowed them to maintain the golf courses and ensure the highest quality of standards for gameplay.

JJ T&I is dedicated to providing high-quality expertise and end-to-end solutions to meet all turf care and landscaping needs. We are proud that these golf clubs have put their trust in us and recognise the value that we provide, furthering our position as a leading full-service solution provider in the Southeast Asia region,” said Philipp Hoffmann, Regional Director of JJ T&I.
