Opportunity: large demand of safe, high performing and high quality small electric vehicles specific for urban mobility and ready to integrate self-driving technologies.
Optimum Design for Urban Mobility
•Crashworthy architecture: As safe as a the best conventional M1 vehicles
•Easy to reconfigure architecture for different uses (high acceptability)
•Fail-safe powertrain architecture with high efficiency,
•Efficient (low weight and low aerodrag)
•Reduce system complexity with a focus on the key essentials
•Radical reduction of production costs
•Apply advanced systems integration including:
•High efficiency solar cells 20 km/day solar energy in southern EC countries
•Power dense, highly efficient e-motor and advance torque control
•Adaptable V2G and V2H technologies.
General characteristics of the
vehicle in its passenger form
•Four seats,
•Small footprint 148cm width, 298cm length, 155 cm height,
•Ergonomic entry with two or three or four doors,
•About 80Wh/km average consumption on most driving cycles,
•Nominal battery capacity 14kWh to >30kWh (12.5 kWh battery pack usage for about 150km range (250km at constant 40km/h),
•Crashworthy architectures meeting highest EuroNCAP crash tests ratings,
•Fail-safe two motors 4WD powertrain architecture with adaptable torque control over two fully independent axles,
•Two motor-transmission system that can deliver > 700Nm per axle,
•Speed 120km/h, 50km/h in 3.6s, Slopes >45%,
•High efficiency flexible solar cells to assure an average range 20 km/day by solar energy only in southern EC countries,
•Vehicle to Grid V2G and Vehicle to Home V2H technologies.
•Future highest conceivable secure E-E architecture.
