Fast technology news on January 9, with the easy Sifang platform and four-wheel four motors, looking up U8 and U9 have the ability to turn around on the spot, and regardless of the road, of course, this is a bit of a waste tire.
So is there a plan that also does not adjust the road surface, and does not waste tires?At CES 2024, which opened today, Hyundai Motor unveiled its E-Corner system, and a prototype equipped with the system could be seen making a U-turn at the booth.
*。Unlike the Yangwang series, Hyundai's technology relies on four wheels that can be turned sharply, and the wheels of the prototype car are turned almost 90 degrees, and then the rotation can be easily fixed.
In addition to this, it can also realize any operation such as crab walking, tank U-turn, diagonal driving, etc., even if it is a nightmare for many novice drivers, such as side parking, it can be easily handled.
It is understood that the design is designed for hybrid vehicles, pure electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles.
It uses four in-wheel motors, braking and electronically controlled steering, and electronic dampers are integrated into each wheel unit, completely detached from the traditional chassis design, and there is no need for a steering column, each wheel can accelerate, brake and steer independently, truly realizing the free drive of four wheels.
The system can be adapted to a wide range of vehicles, from SUVs to mid-size compact cars, and is not only possible with some hardcore off-road vehicles!
However, it should be pointed out that due to the complete change of the structure, it will encounter many problems in practical application, such as the squeeze of the space in the car, and the stability of long-term use.
The technology is provided by Hyundai Mobis, one of the three main players of Hyundai-Kia Motors Group, the largest auto parts company in South Korea and the world's seventh-largest auto parts supplier.
