Advantages
“The combination of a rigid backbone structure connecting front and rear structures; in combination with the front and rear suspensions affixed to the to the front and rear structures; to create a complete, self-supporting chassis, without the need for a separate frame…."
¤ Weight, cost and investment savings
¤ Battery Box on Plug-in Hybrid and BEVs doubles as the backbone
¤ Adapt different bodies to the same Uni-Chassis™
¤ Uni-Chassis™ is scaleable to different size vehicles by varying backbone length
¤ Uni-Chassis™ is modular, allowing different powertrains within the same architecture
¤ Creates a “rolling chassis” before installation of the body
¤ De-couple chassis loads from body loads
¤ Decouples chassis and body crashworthiness requirements
