Par Modu Pilsētas automašīna

Modu ir modulāra pilsētas automašīna, kas izstrādāta pilsētas mobilitātei. Transportlīdzeklis ir veidots ap savstarpēji aizvietojamiem komponentiem. Kreisais un labais priekšējais lukturis ir identiski, un tas pats attiecas uz spoguļiem, priekšējo un aizmugurējo bamperi, piedziņas sistēmu un šasiju. Šāda pieeja samazina detaļu skaitu, ražošanas izmaksas un ražošanā izmantoto enerģiju. Virsbūve ir izgatavota no lāzergriezuma un liektām anodētā alumīnija paneļiem, ar elektrisko piedziņas sistēmu, riteņos iebūvētiem motoriem un pneimatisko atsperošanu. Automašīnu iegādes brīdī konfigurē tiešsaistē, un moduļus vēlāk var mainīt atbilstoši mainīgajām vajadzībām.

Dizainera sniegtie autori, komandas dalībnieki un tehniskie dati.

Unikālās īpašības: Modu is designed around modularity and interchangeability of components. It can be configured both at purchase and later as the need changes without buying a new vehicle. Modu introduces the concept of interchangeability, for instance, the left and right headlights are identical, the driving mirrors, the front and back bumpers, even the drive system and chassis system. This significantly reduces the manufacturing cost, energy and subsequently a smaller environmental footprint.
Izmēri un iepakojums: Modu is modular so the dimension will vary base on the configuration. Minimum configuration 1.8m length x 0.85m width x 1.5m height
Electric drivetrain, In-wheel electric motor, air suspension, laser cut and bent anodized aluminum body panels.
Birkas: Modular, City Car, Urban Mobility, Sustainable Design, Electric Vehicle, Interchangeable Components, Lightweight, Innovative, Compact, Energy Efficient, Flexible
Ražošanas tehnoloģija: The design of Modu was made possible through Design Thinking. Early ideas were captured via sketching, white boarding and sticky notes to capture critical features. These ideas were then refined through peer interviews and feedback. Iterative sketches led to CAD modeling in Siemens NX, with FDM 3D printing to validating key technical features. Realistic renderings in Keyshot and composition in Photoshop were used to visualize the vehicle and its potential use cases.
Dizaina izaicinājums: The main challenge was combining complete modularity with aesthetics and structural integrity, a tough balance since these often conflict. The inspiration for Modu's exoskeleton design is from military vehicles, this simplified the design and reduced part count. Additionally, making the parts interchangeable was a challenge but crucial, for instance the left and right headlights are interchangeable, even driving mirrors, the bumpers, the drive system and many other components.
Pētījums: Extensive academic research on urban mobility trends, material options, and advanced manufacturing, combined with user-centered design principles, drove Modu’s development. Informal interviews and digital prototypes captured local transportation insights and spurred iterative refinements. This research and feedback validated the need for a sustainable, adaptable vehicle, guiding design choices toward superior modularity, energy efficiency, and operational versatility.
Iedvesma: I grew up in Ghana, West Africa where transportation continues to be an issue. Seeing first hand the potential of a highly optimized vehicle to impact lives, I was inspired to design a brilliant yet affordable solutions. Modu is designed to give the customer absolute freedom to configure the vehicle at the time of purchase and even later as their need changes without needing to buy a completely new car.
Projekta ilgums: Project started in August 2024 in San Jose California and finished in January 2025
Darbības plūsma: The unique experience of this vehicle to starts right with the purchasing experience; The customer will configure the new Modu on an online platform where key elements such as size, specific modules and intended use can be chosen.
the vehicle is then delivered after a few days due to the ease of customization.
Operating Modu will be extremely easy with the ability to use the smartphone as a dashboard hence all the users music , frequently visited locations, contacts, etc all comes along for the ride on seamless experience.
