Modular Compact Platform
Why a Modular Compact Platform?
Our platform addresses major challenges in designing light, urban, and multi-purpose vehicles. With an innovative architecture, we offer a compact, adaptable, and high-performance solution.
Functional Interdependence
The rolling train components (geometry, dynamics, suspension) are highly interconnected. To ensure performance and reliability, our system integrates these functions coherently within a hollow arm, optimizing space and simplifying the architecture.
Minimizing Functional Volume
Traditional platforms often require bulky volumes for suspension systems. The MOTION compact platform integrates suspension components directly into the arms, freeing up space for other critical functions such as battery packs or drivetrains.
Extended Load Range
Thanks to a system of interchangeable inserts (up to 3 per arm), our suspension offers up to 19 different stiffness levels.
This allows the platform to support vehicles ranging from 100 kg to over 500 kg, providing 5x more flexibility than conventional solutions.
A modular platform by design
Our architecture enables exceptional modularity through:
An adaptable, lightweight, and rigid sandwich chassis
Standardized half-axles for fast and scalable integration
Interchangeable composite blades and shock absorbers
Standard functional linkages to simplify design and maintenance
This modular approach makes it possible to design a wide range of vehicles from a common base, reducing costs, lead times, and industrial risks.
New Functions Enabled
Track and Wheelbase Adjustment
A variable wheelbase allows the vehicle’s width and length to be adapted to different use cases: urban logistics, shared mobility, utility or personal vehicles.
In a logistics context, if the load isn’t perfectly centered, this feature makes it possible to slightly adjust the position of a wheel—for example, moving the front right wheel outward—to recenter the mass and stabilize the vehicle.
Multidirectional – Extreme Maneuverability
The MOTION platform offers exceptional maneuverability thanks to its four identical half-axles, each equipped with independent steering.
This configuration allows for on-the-spot U-turns, lateral movement (crab mode), and custom wheel orientation based on operational needs.
Whether navigating tight spaces or dynamically adjusting the vehicle’s path, this technology provides unmatched freedom of movement.
Pitch Adjustment
The MOTION platform allows ride height adjustment without altering suspension behavior.
By simply changing the position of the composite blades inside the arms, the vehicle body can be raised or lowered.
This feature is useful in logistics to ease loading operations, and also in dynamic situations to correct the vehicle’s pitch in case of uneven loads or irregular terrain, thereby improving overall stability.
