Advanced Vehicle Development Project

 

 One of the major characteristics of Advanced Development Project is the adoption of an open-source scheme. This is because part of our mission is to spread the use of the combined in-wheel motor and component built-in frame technologies, instead of manufacturing and selling electric vehicles as final products. When people from participating organizations experience the electric vehicle industry, in which these technologies serve as the core, and then take back the technologies and the contacts they made through this experience to their organizations, the industry will grow even more. The project offers the program which is open to participate in for all companies and organizations of any genre or field who are interested in the electric vehicle industry.


Electric Vehicle to be developed in the Advanced Vehicle Development Project III

 In the Advanced Vehicle Development Project III, as was the cases of Project I and II, we would adopt the In wheel Motor Technology and Component Built-in Frame Technology effectively. With these technologies, we would seek effective use of motors, small air drag, and the minimized tire rolling resistance coefficient. Further features to put on prototype to be developed in the Advanced Vehicle Development Project III would be generated through the project.
