Safety Risks Due to Vehicle-specific Advanced Developments

Weight Optimization for Safe EVs Through Single Piece Casting

• Designing frontal for an E-SUV to meet global safety standards needs to taken into consideration of 4 major high speed frontal crash load cases – USNCAP FFB35mph, IIHS SORB 64kph, IIHS ODB 64kph and EURONCAP MPDB.
• The IIHS SORB requires a very strong front structure to generate enough lateral push for the glance off strategy to work. However, the other 3 load-cases prefer a softer front structure for energy absorption and load distribution.
• In addition to balancing the front structure for these 4 load-cases, keeping the mass as low as possible to maximize driving range of an EV is very important.
• This session will cover the overall structural design of the Lucid Gravity frontal BIW and Chassis in pursuing the best possible crash structure performance while keeping mass low.
