Hyundai Motor Show Three Future Mobile Travel Visions
In order to let the future cities and people get rid of the shackles of time and space and improve the quality of life. Hyundai Motor Group proposed and demonstrated three mobile travel solutions, namely, urban air travel (UAM), customized vehicle type (PBV) and central hub integrating transportation and community activities.
Urban air travel (UAM) solutions include personal plane (PAV) and urban air travel service, which opens up the sky as a new mobile channel and helps to reduce travel time. Personalized customized vehicle (PBV) is an environment-friendly vehicle driving on the ground, which can provide customized mobile space and services for passengers. In order to make UAM and PBV more convenient to use, Hyundai Motor is also equipped with a central hub to realize seamless docking. Hub is a brand-new concept, which can be fully integrated into urban life, and people can interact in this public space.
UAM can connect the sky and the ground, and PBV can connect people on the road. Both of these smart mobile travel solutions can be docked on the Hub. In the future, UAM, PBV and Hub will cooperate closely and play a key role in building a vibrant and people-oriented future city and enriching people's lives. In the future, Hyundai Motor Group will widely deploy this hub solution and build a complete mobile travel system. UAM, PBV and Hub constitute a complete network system. Based on this, Hyundai Motor Group put forward the vision of intelligent mobile travel and promised to provide customers with a smooth and personalized mobile travel experience. At the same time, this vision is also in line with Hyundai Motor Group's medium-term innovation plan-"2025 Strategy". In the "2025 Strategy", Hyundai Motor Group has defined two pillars of its business structure-intelligent mobile travel equipment and intelligent mobile travel service.
Large-scale urbanization in the world has led to a sharp decline in the travel efficiency of urban residents, which has also aggravated the social costs related to logistics and transportation. The first solution put forward by Hyundai Motor to revitalize the future city is UAM (Urban Air Travel). This is an innovative mobile travel solution, which makes the city "get rid of traffic jams" and move towards "flight democratization".
Because personal aircraft (PAV) can take off and land vertically by electric, UAM brings a way of urban air travel without runway. UAM is also regarded by Hyundai Motor as an important innovative business in the future, which can help solve the problems faced by big cities such as traffic congestion and change people's travel modes. Hyundai Motor also expounded the four principles of UAM: safety, quietness, economy and user-centeredness. In order to ensure the safe operation of vehicles, PAV adopts multi-rotor to realize multi-layer protection. In addition, a parachute deployment system was installed on the plane to deal with emergencies. At the same time, PAV is low in noise, suitable for urban travel and comfortable to ride. In order to make UAM more economical and practical, Hyundai Motor also makes full use of its manufacturing expertise, fully combines its leading technologies in automobile and aerodynamics, and also uses the advantages of light carbon composite materials, production design technology and reducing operating costs to build UAM.
Hyundai Motor released the first concept PAV (Personal Aircraft) at CES, named "S-A 1". ? This PAV product named "S-A 1" was jointly developed by Hyundai Motor and Uber, the world's largest mobile travel group. This concept plane is equipped with an electric take-off and landing system, including the pilot, which can accommodate five people.
In the initial stage of commercialization, PAV will be controlled by pilots, and once the related technologies are successfully developed, it will operate autonomously. Modern automobiles have sufficient manufacturing capacity and expertise to develop and mass-produce automobiles, such as PAV.
Eric Allison, head of Uber Elevate (air traffic plan) (Eric? Allison) said: "Hyundai Motor Group is our first automobile partner, and it has profound experience in passenger car manufacturing. We believe that Hyundai Motor Company can produce Uber air taxis at an unprecedented speed in the aerospace industry. Air), mass production of high-quality and reliable aircraft, reducing the travel cost of passengers every trip. Combining the manufacturing advantages of Hyundai Motor with Uber's technology platform means that we are moving towards the hope of launching a strong air taxi network in the next few years. "
Hyundai Motor also intends to strengthen cooperation with global enterprises such as Uber and accelerate the development of UAM business, including developing world-class PAV, providing fleet service and maintenance, and developing apron.
In order to create a vibrant and people-oriented future, the second mobile travel solution created by Hyundai Motor is personalized customized vehicle (PBV). PBV is a new urban mobile travel solution, which uses highly personalized customized services to meet the needs of people's different lifestyles. Passengers can enjoy tailor-made services on the way to their destination, which is a brand-new interpretation of the concept of "mobile travel", completely beyond the scope of "transportation". Because it is a highly personalized car, PBV can be used not only as a city commuter car, but also as a restaurant, coffee shop, hotel and even a clinic and pharmacy.
The PBV concept car of modern automobile has three characteristics: city logo, living space on wheels and collective travel.
PBV was inspired by San Francisco's iconic jingle car. It has the characteristics of highly personalized customization, the upper and lower parts of the car body can be completely separated, and the size can be flexibly adjusted between 4-6 meters. Due to the modular design, the internal space of PBV can be customized according to individual needs. In this way, PBV is not only a means of transportation, but also a space where we live. PBV is completely driven by electricity, which is an environmentally friendly mobile travel solution. And with the support of artificial intelligence technology, PBV can find the best route, and the charger equipped on the car can charge the vehicle during driving. PBV can also wait in line for autonomous driving, which is expected to bring innovative changes to personal travel and the whole logistics industry in the future.
The third mobile travel scheme proposed by Hyundai Motor is Hub (Central Hub). PAV apron at the top of the hub and multiple PBV docking stations on the ground can realize seamless docking. According to the different connection modes of PBV, the hub can be transformed into countless new spaces. For example, when PBVs, as concert halls, cinemas and museums, gather together, Hub becomes a cultural complex; Connect PBV medical service space as clinic, medical facilities and pharmacy, and become a medical complex as a hub.
Hyundai Motor Group hopes that more people can enjoy the intelligent mobile travel service, so it plans to fully deploy Hub solutions in future cities and build a new mobile travel system around UAM-PBV-Hub network. In this way, Hyundai Motor Group will break the time and space restrictions of mobile travel, create a brand-new public space where people can interact effectively, and help build a vibrant and people-oriented future city.
