Hyundai Mobis announced its breakthrough in the development of new technology, the E-Corner Module, which integrates steering, braking, suspension and driving systems into a single wheel.
Hyundai Mobis has succeeded in developing the next generation automobile wheel technology which is regarded as the core technology for urban mobility of the future. It’s a dream technology that allows 90-degree rotation of parking and in-place rotation. It is also necessary to make PBV (Purpose Built Vehicle).
Hyundai Mobis announced its breakthrough in the development of new technology, the E-Corner Module, which integrates steering, braking, suspension and driving systems into a single wheel. This new technology changes the paradigm of an automobile to use a mechanical axis to engage the steering wheel. It is also recognized as a core technology for future smart city mobility.
The concept of the e-Corner module was first unveiled at the 2018 CES. However this time around, Hyundai Mobis has successfully redefined the concept for its practical use on automobiles and has developed an ECU for the controls and has also completed functional testing. Once this is done with reliability verification and feasibility study on mass production, Hyundai Mobis will start taking mass production orders from global car makers for its application.
The biggest advantage of the E-Corner module is that it does not require any mechanical connections between the parts, leading to better utilization of space within the vehicle. Not only does this make it easy to change the wheel base, but it also ensures a great deal of flexibility in designing the direction of the doors and the shape of the vehicle. This is necessary to create PBVs that are designed to provide mobility services, for example for cafes and hospitals.
Of particular note is that it evolved from the traditional 30-degree rotation. Now, it allows 90-degree rotation of the wheel when needed, for example in parking and crabbing (sideways) driving and enables zero-turn, which means turning without turning forward or backward. It is also expected to increase the agility of the vehicle plying in the narrow streets of the city and accordingly improve the urban driving environment.
E-Corner Module is an advanced technology which has not found much success with respect to its mass production globally. Although Hyundai Mobis has managed to develop this successfully, it also requires a combination of steering, braking, suspension and driving systems in one wheel while ensuring driving safety.
Unlike other auto parts manufacturers making specialized parts, Hyundai Mobis has been able to develop key parts to be used in vehicles including steering, braking, connectivity and electrification parts and it has been observed that the synergy between these parts e- has been instrumental in its development. corner module.
