Touted as a highly versatile chassis that will offer new electric vehicle mobility solutions that can range from autonomously-driven utility vans to ‘every-day’ driver vehicles and even high-performance supercars.
The company said that its highly-flexible platform currently supports its 2020 Revero GT extended-range electric vehicle (EREV).
As part of the project, additional EREV platform offerings, platforms for battery-electric-only vehicles (BEVs), and ‘proof-of-concept’ vehicles will be showcased in time.
The goal of the project looks to demonstrate the company's growing capabilities and highlight its latest E-Flex Platform’s core high-tech applications including autonomy, software and hardware, artificial intelligence and advanced transportation solutions.
The company said that it recognized a high demand within the electric vehicle market to develop a new electrified platform with increased versatility.
Prior to the new platform, it said that the cost required to develop, test, certify and build a new EREV or BEV platform could require an investment of up to 1.0bil (RM4.3bil) for manufacturers.
It added that its platform will allow vehicle manufacturers faster entry into the electric vehicle market at a substantially reduced development cost.
