Eugene based Arcimoto, Inc.\u00ae (NASDAQ: FUV), makers of fun, affordable, and ultra-efficient electric vehicles for everyday drivers and fleets, and its partners debuted the first production Roadsters, demonstrated the first ever driverless FUV, unveiled new torque vectoring technology that will improve handling of all Arcimoto vehicles via a future software update, and revealed the Arcimoto Flatbed utility vehicle at this year\u2019s FUV and Friends Summer Showcase at the Portland International Raceway on July 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Arcimoto Roadster<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcimoto unveiled the first production Roadsters, designed to be the ultimate on-road fun machines, which were outfitted with prototype accessories including a surf rack, a OneWheel carrier, and the Doge Carrier sidecar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the very first ride, I knew the Roadster would deliver a ride like no other machine on the road. It\u2019s the purest incarnation of the Arcimoto Platform: low and forward center of gravity, the dual-motor front wheel drive system that pulls you down the road, and the ability to actively shift your weight in concert with the ride. The Roadster is an extension of your will to move, and we are very excited to bring it into the world,\u201d said Frohnmayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Torque Vectoring and Drive-By-Wire<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stafl Systems, founded by brilliant electrical engineer and Arcimoto alum Erik Stafl, demonstrated a new torque vectoring technology that dramatically improves steering at low speeds. The improvements are planned for all Arcimoto vehicles via a software update expected to be released in 2022. The torque vectoring implementation is part of a broader effort to enable true drive-by-wire in order to lay the foundation for autonomous and remote-controlled Arcimotos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a game changer, and the single biggest improvement to the handling of our vehicles since we unveiled Arcimoto\u2019s Generation 8 prototype in 2016,\u201d said Frohnmayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driverless Arcimotos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Faction Technology, based in South San Francisco, demonstrated the first ever driverless FUV using remote control, a step forward toward true ride-on-demand, where riders will be able to summon a vehicle to their location and then hop in and drive. \u201cOur vision is very much in line with Arcimoto\u2019s mission, which is to rightsize transportation for both delivery and ride on demand, \u201d said Ain McKendrick, Faction Founder and CEO. \u201cDriverless combines autonomy with the ability to remote assist a vehicle when you need it, because the magic is really when the vehicle arrives driverlessly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eugene-based SherpTek, makers of precision engineered truck decks and truck trays designed to be the lightest on the market, unveiled the first two prototypes of the Arcimoto Flatbed, built based on feedback from the City of Orlando following a joint municipal pilot program in 2020. \u201cWe utilized every single square inch of space that we could,\u201d said Ryan Goodwin, CEO and Founder of SherpTek while demonstrating a fully loaded Flatbed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis thing is packed with all my mountain biking gear, all my kiteboarding gear, my stand-up paddleboard for whitewater… It’s got a cooler full of drinks, a table, a chair, a yoga mat. It\u2019s outfitted for a day full of activity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oregon Governor Kate Brown addressed the crowd to open the Showcase just prior to signing House Bill 2021 on Tuesday, which lays out one of the most aggressive timelines for eliminating carbon dioxide emissions in the country. \u201cHouse Bill 2021 will make sure Oregon will have the most progressive clean energy standard in the entire country\u2014 100 percent clean, green by 2040,\u201d she said. \u201cClearly climate change is here and we have to do everything in our power to move forward and tackle it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arcimoto is the only [public] EV company in Oregon, but it\u2019s not going to be the last if I have anything to say about it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other partners that attended the Summer Showcase included the automotive legends at Munro & Associates, Sundberg-Ferar, Redivivus, UBCO, T3 Motion, JuiceBar, GT Automotive Design, and the Equal Vote Coalition. A full video recap of the Summer Showcase will be shared soon. For more information, visit Arcimoto.com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
