EVA Track T-800 CDI by E.V.A. Products

.  

E.V.A. Products BV Holland has brought out the Worlds first Commercially Available diesel motorcycle dubbed the Track T-800 CDI. Powered by an 800cc, three-cylinder common-rail turbodiesel that makes 50 horsepower and 130Nm of torque, the Track T800 CDI was quite remarkable to begin with. And now, EVA have added continuously variable transmission (CVT), which not only makes it supremely easy to ride, but also always keeps the T800’s engine in the rev range where it works best, making it very fuel efficient.

Overall, the bike weighs 199kg dry, it is claimed to be bulletproof so it is very likely to become the Jeep of motorcycles if adopted by militaries around the world. It has an ingenious hydraulic two-wheel drive system that implies a hydraulic pump being powered off the gearbox output shaft and which then runs an impeller in the front hub. The system is supposed to transfer as much as 15% of power to the front wheel, but the percentage can vary depending on the relative position of the throttle to the rear wheel speed.

With its low-maintenance shaft-drive, 2WD, the capability to run on multiple fuels (diesel, biodiesel and/or various kinds of vegetable oil…!) and rugged build quality, the Track T800 CDI looks like it can be a prime challenger in the BMW R1200GS segment. At around US$24,500 it certainly isn’t cheap, but it’s reasonably fast (top speed is about 175km/h), fuel efficient (about 23-25km/l), can carry loads of luggage and if you’re willing, it’ll be happy to romp across Continents.
