As part of its 11th Schaeffler Symposium, the Tier 1 supplier debuted a new urban e-mobility vehicle concept called the “Schaeffler Mover.” The symposium, held once every four years, is a forum for Schaeffler to present its technologies and component forecasts to auto-industry professionals and media.

The Mover concept is a flexible and emission-free platform engineered for a range of different low-speed vehicle applications. All the drive and chassis components are integrated in one vertical unit called the “Schaeffler Intelligent Corner Module,” which integrates in-wheel motors with discreet steering capability at each corner to save space and enhance maneuverability. Flexibility was a key engineering goal on the Mover.
