 What is the next generation vehicle chassis ?

Without a doubt, equipping a distributed drive-by-wire chassis is the future trend. As vehicles continue to evolve towards electrification, informalization, intelligence, and automation, the demands on car chassis are growing. Having a distributed drive-by-wire chassis is an excellent solution due to its numerous advantages, as outlined below:

(Take 18t Chassis)

•   40% reduction in chassis space configuration;

•   Shorten the wheelbase and length of the vehicle by approximately 800mm, Or increase the loading volume by 3.5m³;

•   Accurate control,high safety and autonomous driving; 

Advantages of Distributed drive axle

• Equipped with dual motors and advanced shift control strategy, making driving safer for vehicles；

• Integrated design, saving chassis space;The lower center of gravity of the entire vehicle brings better driving stability and handling;

•  Verified through 1 million load-bearing reliability tests with 2.5 times the impact, the load- bearing safety factors higher;

• Equipped with ASR(anti slip driving) function, enhancing wetland grip and preventing vehicle tailspin.Stable starting on rainy and snowy slippery roads, making driving safer for vehicles;

Application cases in heavy-duty trucks

Advantage 1:Saving layout space and greatly improving rollover performance

Traditional mid-drive solution

Distributed drive solution

 The battery is arranged at the rear of the cab and occupies the volume of the cargo compartment. The space required for the layout of the rear-mounted battery box is 850mm, and the cargo box is 850mm shorter. For port tractors, at least one standard container or a small container is loaded. For 8×4 vans, the standard size of the cargo box is 9.6m×2.45m×2.6m, the loading volume is

5.5 cubic meters less per vehicle, and 9% less cargo is loaded. The vehicle has a high center of gravity and poor safety.

 While the battery is arranged on the chassis and does not occupy the volume of the cargo compartment, which can meet the demand for large power. The center of gravity of the vehicle is low, the rollover performance is improved, and the safety is high.
