HST Automotive (Horsepower, Speed, and Torque) offers a global brand of high-performance, zero emission electric vehicles. The RIDE state-of-the art, three-wheeled vehicle provides an environmentally conscious means of personal mobility. They can be used for any number of purposes from security and facility maintenance operations to luxury entertainment.
The RIDE is constructed from high quality aluminum and can fold down to 38” for travel and storage; it will even fit inside your SUV. It has front and rear suspension, is 100% electric and travels at 15 mph with optional upgrades allowing speeds of up to 25mph. It can be charged from a standard 110V outlet.
In an ongoing effort to improve the design, HST wanted to implement a viable solution for permitting two different light intensities for the back lights of the vehicle. The LED’s were also required to provide a moisture-sealed lens, have the ability to withstand shock and vibration and be available for expedited shipment to meet development and production schedules. For many suppliers this would be a tall order to fill these special requirements with an off-the-shelf product.
VCC was highly recommended to HST, due our high-quality and versatile products, along with our ingenuity in design and application knowledge. The custom building capabilities
available from VCC allowed us to produce a solution quickly by slightly modifying our standard CNX 460 series LED cable assembly. This type of LED cable assembly can it accommodate a 10mm LED or a Super High Flux LED providing dual intensities for the RIDE backlight application.
Per Jean Jamie, “We were very impressed with Orlando’s ingenuity to provide a quick solution. They were able to provide two different levels of light intensities, and also with its standard features of being moisture-sealed and able to withstand shock & vibration, it was a perfect solution for our dilemma.”
VCC is dedicated to our customers and we take pride in our ability to modify our standard products to ensure a better fit and function for our customer’s requirements. This design knowledge enables us to offer a high-quality product that is better suited for special customer requirements in a very short amount of time.
