Aura EV Concept

Aura EV Concept

 
The Aura EV Concept is an all-electric one-off that created by the union of several technology companies:

Astheimer led the design, BAMD Composites developed the vegan interior and body panels made from natural fiber composites that are lightweight and sustainable, Conjure developed the human-machine interface (HMI), which uses technology supplied by Spark EV to effectively manage battery charge, while Potenza Technology supplied the batteries and electric motors. Likewise, the financing comes from the Office of Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) through the Niche Vehicle Network (NVN).
​
It has been developed with the aim of showing new technologies that could shape the development of electric vehicles. The design is minimalist and pure, giving a streamlined look, but in a modern way and with simple lines.

This roadster is road-legal and prioritizes both aerodynamic efficiency and battery charge readings with really high precision. Aura EV Concept has a range of around 248-310 kms (400 to 500 miles). ​Cell locations and the neutral weight distribution improve vehicle dynamics: First battery is packaged in the front of the car, the second one is at the bottom of the chassis.

It should be noted the high connectivity of the  Aura Concept , the HMI is designed around sustainability and the best-efficiency. With built-in three-dimensional virtual visualization, the driver will get real-time information on aerodynamic performance, the driver will get real-time information on aerodynamic performance, allowing him to adapt his driving style ​to minimize the impact on the environment and maximize the range. Similarly, the real-time data allows a digital twin to display a ​fully synchronized version, both on the vehicle's center console and on an Android tablet.

​Aura Concept utilizes various components in the Google Cloud Platform to finally provide a real-time connection between the vehicle and various connected applications, and is completely based on AOSP (Android Automotive Operating System).
