Abstract
A modular vehicle is generally presented where the modular vehicle is generally configured to be rearranged into different driving, passenger, and storage configurations using a plurality of different modules that interface with a powered chassis. The vehicle may include a plurality of modules arranged on the powered chassis. The modules may vary in size and shape and may be configured to interface with the chassis. The powered chassis is designed to include all power and drivetrain components as well as the wheel connections and wheels, all within a generally flat platform that is intended to support the vehicle modules.
Claims20
A modular vehicle comprising:
- an electric chassis, the electric chassis holding at least one battery and at least one motor to power the vehicle, the electric chassis having a planar upper surface;
- at least one repositionable module;
- and
- the upper surface having at least one connection pad, the at least one repositionable module configured to connect directly to the connection pad of the electric chassis to facilitate an electric, physical, and/or communication connection.
A method of configuring a modular vehicle, the modular vehicle having an electric chassis, the electric chassis holding at least one battery and at least one motor to power the vehicle, the electric chassis having a planar upper surface, at least one repositionable module, and the upper surface having at least one connection pad, the at least one repositionable module configured to connect directly to the connection pad of the electric chassis to facilitate an electric, physical, and/or communication connection, the method comprising the steps of:
- connecting the at least one module to the connection pad of the upper planar surface.
