The Electric Vehicle Design page hosts a collection of resources aimed at exploring the evolving architecture of electric vehicles. Featuring reports, research papers, and industry insights, this section delves into how EV design is transforming traditional vehicle structures, from battery placement to lightweight materials and aerodynamics. Whether you're focused on the technical or aesthetic aspects of EV design, these materials provide a wealth of knowledge to help shape the future of electric vehicle innovation.
Electric urban light vehicles structural integrity and occupant protection validation through experimental crash tests
Multi-Moby project, funded under H2020 n° 101006953, aims at developing technology for safe, efficient and affordable urban electric vehicles. The objective of the paper is to show the results achieved in relation to structural integrity and occupant protection in the first year of the project. In a first stage simulation tools have been used to optimise the vehicle structure crashworthiness at different crash configuration based on smart use of High Strength Steels focused to simplified and affordable manufacturing processes. Once the structural behaviour met requirements and expectations, the restraint system has been developed. After design optimisation, three vehicles have been prototyped to perform three crash tests, two of them frontal, corresponding to Regulation 137 and Regulation 94, and one lateral, corresponding to Regulation 95.
