At present, Canoo has launched a product called Canoo? EV's pure electric vehicle is coming soon. Based on the "skateboard" structure, this car not only puts the battery under the passenger area, but also puts the motor and controller inside, making them basically on the same plane, which provides more possibilities for the design of the upper cabin space. In the previous EPA standard test, the comprehensive endurance of the car has reached 400 to 480 kilometers, and eventually these cars will be sold by order.
A spokesman for Hyundai Group, headquartered in Seoul, said that the cooperation with Canoo Company aims at laying out the future transportation system, and the company's short-term goal is to develop compact electric vehicles. Hyundai also said that Canoo will provide engineering services, provide the architecture used by electric vehicles based on Canoo platform, and help automakers build a brand-new all-electric production platform.
Hyundai Motor believes that using this architecture can build a simplified and standardized platform, thus reducing costs. Kia and Hyundai will be able to quickly adjust the electric vehicle production line to meet customer needs. In addition, Hyundai Group hopes to reduce the complexity of its electrified production line through this platform in order to quickly respond to unpredictable market demand and customer preferences.
Kano Company was founded by Faraday at the end of 20 17. Founded by a former senior executive of Future, it launched its own electric van and customized service in less than 18 months. The Beta test of this service began in September 20 19, and will be fully launched on 202 1.
Canoo cooperates with automobile manufacturers, and both companies can use these transactions to obtain the funds needed to develop their own products. At the same time, it also helped an established company to start its strategic layout of electric vehicles, and both sides achieved a win-win situation. As a matter of fact, Cano is moving along the road taken by Rivian. Before Rivian's cooperation with Amazon and Ford achieved good results, Canoo had already begun to look for his own goals. This cooperation with Hyundai can be regarded as a wish.
Cano CEO ulrich? Kranz pointed out in a document: "We have been boldly trying to develop a new type of electric vehicle. For our young company, working with a global leader like Hyundai is a rare opportunity. " The head of Hyundai Motor Technology Department also expressed his appreciation for Kano. We were deeply impressed by the innovative EV architecture developed by Canoo in terms of speed and efficiency. On the road of striving to become a leader in the future travel field, Kano will become our ideal partner. Hyundai will cooperate with Canoo engineers to develop a low-cost, high-efficiency modern concept platform, which will eventually run automatically and be suitable for large-scale adoption.
In fact, Hyundai Motor has been committed to future transportation in the last two years and has invested a lot of money in this regard. Previously, it invested $4 billion to establish a joint venture with Aptiv, a well-known automobile supplier, to develop autonomous driving systems and related models. In addition, Hyundai Kia also made strategic investments in Aurora, an autonomous driving startup in Silicon Valley, Ola, a taxi startup in India, and Grab in Singapore.
Through this cooperation, Hyundai Group will continue to increase investment. It is planned to invest $87 billion in the next five years, and it may increase in the future. Before 2025, Hyundai brand plans to invest 52 billion US dollars in future travel technology, and Kia brand plans to invest 25 billion US dollars. The ultimate goal is that in 2025, Hyundai Group's electric vehicle sales will reach 25% of the total product sales.
