Hyundai Mobis Unveils Innovative Mobion Concept Based on Ioniq 5, Showcasing Advanced Mobility
For those who find the conventional notions of forward and reverse mundane, Hyundai Mobis introduces the revolutionary Mobion concept at CES, derived from the Hyundai Ioniq 5.
Setting itself apart with a distinct design featuring updated bumpers and lighting units, the Mobion concept offers more than just aesthetic appeal. The innovative lighting units serve a dual purpose, not only enhancing the vehicle's appearance but also conveying vital information to pedestrians and fellow drivers.
The rear lights, for instance, have the capability to alert other road users to the presence of a pedestrian in a crosswalk, even if they are not visually discernible. Adding to its repertoire, the concept incorporates a groundbreaking ground projection system, illuminating the vehicle's direction on the ground using lights spanning a 360-degree spectrum. This system can go further, projecting crosswalk stripes to guide pedestrians.
Beyond the captivating lighting features, the Mobion concept takes center stage to unveil the next-generation e-Corner System by Hyundai Mobis. While specific details remain undisclosed, the system seamlessly integrates an electric motor with steering, braking, and suspension functions, empowering each wheel to operate independently.
The concept goes beyond conventional movements, featuring wheels that can rotate, enabling the Mobion to pivot, drive diagonally, move sideways, and even execute a 360-degree spin. The groundbreaking design is not just a spectacle; it serves as a testament to the evolution of mobility solutions.
Complementing these features, the Mobion concept incorporates two short-distance lidar sensors near the headlights and a long-distance lidar sensor embedded in the front fascia. Hyundai Mobis emphasizes the value of this configuration in lateral movement and the effective recognition of nearby objects, particularly during maneuvers like diagonal lane changes.
In a statement, Hyundai Mobis Vice President Lee Seung-Hwan expressed that the Mobion concept embodies their core technologies, ready for immediate mass production. The unveiling at CES marks a significant step forward in showcasing Hyundai Mobis' commitment to advancing mobility solutions and redefining the future of transportation.
