Here’s some of the hype from a couple years ago.
So many buzzwords:
We design everything from the ground up. So the platform architecture, the components, the body structure, the materials and the software that powers our vehicles, to make sure that we can make a vehicle which is not only more efficient in its cargo volume, its payload, but that we can really target technologies and features specified and optimized for commercial fleets.
we do it to enable scalability.
So where traditional vehicles are using complex, expensive, high pressure stamped metals, which are then painted, we have built a new body structure entirely and a new proprietary material from the ground up. All of these panels are fully recyclable, so at end of life or in the instance that we do need to replace a panel by taking this part, putting it through a recycling process and really finally bringing a circular economy to body structures.
