When innovative technology partners collaborate, good things happen. And when the stakes are set really high, great things happen. FlowCut Waterjet Cutting BV is proud to have been a key player in the design of a modular 28.5 kWh battery pack that gave the STORM motorcyle a range of 380 kilometers without charging. Powered solely by the existing electricity grid, the STORM team travelled from Europe to Asia to America in 80 days – as the world stood by and watched this amazing motorcycle cross new technological and sustainable boundaries.

As early as 3500 BC, the Egyptians harnessed the power of wind to sail their boats across the Nile. Thousands of years later, wind energy use has expanded as a consequence of 20th century oil shortages and environmental concerns. Today, almost twenty years into the 21st century, these concerns continue to grow. The challenges of global warming, energy security and the depletion of fossil fuels have prompted environmentalists, industries and municipalities to look at renewable energy alternatives, with wind power being one of the top three (the other two are solar and hydrogen). In fact, Europe is the leader in offshore wind energy with a total installed capacity of 12,631 MW from 3,589 grid-connected wind turbines in 10 countries. But this amazing progression in offshore wind energy expansion is a collaborative effort – with industry leaders and suppliers each contributing their knowledge, expertise and materials. And FlowCut Waterjet Cutting BV is very proud to be an active participant in the wind energy movement.
