The WorldAutoSteel Steel E-Motive program has been moving along now for nearly a year, and we’d like to share an update with you, our engineering colleagues, on some of the design decisions we’re facing. If you recall, the Steel E-Motive program is designing vehicle concepts for Mobility as a Service (MaaS), characterized by autonomous, electric, ride sharing vehicles.| AHSS Guidelines
The Steel E-Motive autonomous vehicle program–commissioned by WorldAutoSteel in partnership with Ricardo plc–has developed the world’s first fully autonomous electric vehicle body structure concept purpose-fit for ride-sharing. This global steel industry initiative showcases the strength and durability of steel with an eye on playing a pivotal role in reaching net zero emissions targets.| AHSS Guidelines
Tube hydroforming creates complex shapes by using internal pressure to expand a tube against a die cavity. Frame rails, engine cradles, roof rails and bows, instrument panel beams, cross members, pillars, and seat frames are among the parts created using hydroforming.| AHSS Guidelines
