Also, MOTIV features an eye-catching gull-wing door that provides unrivalled accessibility and weather protection for passengers or loading goods. Using this technology ensures the weight of the vehicle is kept below 450kg (excluding batteries), which reduces the amount of raw materials used in the manufacture of the platform when compared to conventional vehicle manufacturing techniques, it also significantly reduces the size of battery required without impacting vehicle range.

MOTIV utilises Gordon Murray Design’s iStream Superlight technology, with ultra-lightweight high strength extruded aluminium in the chassis (iFrame®), composite panels and door (iPanel®), plus aluminium suspension (iLink®) to ensure that vehicle weight is kept to a minimum. It is equipped with CCS charging capability and can recharge from 20% to 80% battery in just 40 minutes. It will operate at speeds of up to 40mph (65kph), making it ideal for operating in urban and suburban locations. MOTIV is powered by a 20kW electric motor, and will be equipped with a 17.3kWh liquid-cooled battery pack providing a potential range of up to 100km. Dependent on application and legislation, this will be the vehicle’s final development stage and it could be ready for mass production within two to five years. To support its transition to autonomous road use, the consortium aims to partner with autonomous technology providers for multiple pilot studies. MOTIV is the first of its kind to offer this degree of integration simplicity. MOTIV provides the opportunity for MaaS providers to use a product that is ready for immediate adaptation to driverless use with any form of autonomous technology.
In its goods transportation form, the platform can be altered to enable maximum load capacity, creating a volume of more than 1,100 litres.įor Mobility as a Service (MaaS) providers, MOTIV offers a unique proposition due to its compact size, extensive versatility and capable range.
To further increase its practicality, MOTIV can be adapted in the future to seat multiple occupants for wheelchair use or even for commercial deliveries. The 1,628mm high pod measures just 2,537mm in length, with a width of 1,310mm.ĭue to its compact footprint and layout, MOTIV offers greater flexibility than any of its rivals. MOTIV has the potential to significantly reduce congestion and emissions in city centres due to its fully-electric powertrain and compact footprint. Engineered using Gordon Murray Design’s iStream Superlight® technology, the vehicle’s single-seater layout provides a private mobility experience for people moving through busy cities, many of whom typically travel in larger combustion-engined vehicles with single occupancy*. Alongside its industry-leading safety credentials, the new fully-electric unit is targeting significant cost savings and improved refinement over its rivals, while delivering the range capabilities, platform flexibility and plug-and-play versatility required by autonomous customers with personal mobility or commercial delivery requirements.ĭesigned with autonomy in mind, MOTIV is a single-seater ‘pod’, which provides the versatility of either personal transportation or last-mile deliveries.

Part-funded through the UK-government’s ‘IDP14’ programme, the new platform breaks the mould for future mobility development by creating acost-effective, ultra-lightweight quadricycle vehicle platform that is designed to meet full passenger car crash safety requirements. Gordon Murray Design and its consortium partners Delta Motorsport and itMoves are set to unveil ‘MOTIV®’, a unique and extremely versatile autonomous vehicle platform at the MOVE 2020 show in London on 11-12 February.
