The mobilicity Vehicle

The mobilicity vehicle is an automated passenger vehicle, operating within a 'smart control' transport service environment. The vehicle is 5.0 metres long and the passenger capacity ranges from 12 up to 24. The vehicle characteristics are covered by the specification available on the download page.

The current program is to further develop the R & D related to the existing 3D CAD virtual prototype vehicle. It uses an aluminium frame clad with polypropylene body panels. The chassis equipment uses independent air suspension on front and rear, with both axles steering using electric actuation.

The first two test vehicles will assess a number of design features including the interior and exterior packaging, the accessibility plus the basic functional vehicle aspects. This phase will also include the initial development of the sophisticated electronic control systems.
