| 摘要： | At the 2002 North American International Auto Show, General Motors presented its AUTOnomy concept vehicle. The chassis consisted of a six-inch-thick flat deck that housed a hydrogen fuel cell powering four wheel-hub motors. Without a body mounted to the chassis, the vehicle looked like a flat box with four wheels-hence the term "skateboard chassis." The real innovation was that the skateboard could be used for various bodies without redesigning the platform. GM dropped the ball and the AUTOnomy never made it past the concept vehicle stage. Fast forward to 2013, when REE Automotive started the development of an EV, skateboard platform for future vehicles such as medium-duty last-mile-delivery trucks/vans, e-buses, and e-shuttles. The platform will work for both autonomous and human-driven applications. The REE Automotive concept uses "REEcorners" that house electric motors, power electronics, gearbox, steering, and suspension-all bolted to each corner of the deck (filled with batteries) inside discrete modules. Extending from each module is a stubby axle that supports hub and wheel, steering linkage, brake rotor, and brake caliper. |
