Toward the end of March, 2021, Triumph first pulled the covers off its Project TE-1 electric powertrain prototype. It’s now February, 2022, and nearly a full year later—and those drawings are now a real, actual motorbike. That’s right—the Project TE-1 prototype demonstrator is officially a working electric motorcycle.
Phase 3 of Triumph’s Project TE-1 was the collaborative stage, which incorporated Triumph’s cooperation with Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Limited, and Warwick Manufacturing Group (WMG) at the University of Warwick. The WMG also received funding from Innovate UK’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles.
