OSVehicle released 2nd Gen TABBY EVO a hardware EV platform

The automotive industry has always been capital-intensive and therefore, it has often been difficult for startups to carve themselves a space in it. But the electric vehicle revolution is disrupting the industry enough that it is opening up opportunities for startups to accelerate the pace of innovation.

OSVehicle, a company based in Italia, is trying to help them to just that with their new platform.

They released the second generation of the TABBY EVO, an open-source hardware platform to develop electric vehicles and electric vehicle parts. The platform enables companies or individuals wishing to develop parts for electric vehicles, or even full EVs, to leapfrog some of the development and test the parts in an open platform.

Of course, you could always buy a used car, electric or not, and implement the parts on that, but it’s arguably easier with OSVehicle’s platform due to its open nature.

The company describes its mission:

OSVehicle’s mission is to democratize mobility by enabling businesses and startups to design, prototype, and build custom electric vehicles and transportation services.

TABBY EVO is an open source hardware platform for electric vehicles prototypes / pre-series / manufacturing. Why EVO? It’s the 2nd version of our platform: now it’s harder, better, faster and stronger.
Designed, engineered and made in Italy
Starting with TABBY EVO for your EV project allows you to save at least:
3 years of R&D
2 millions USD
Why is so affordable? Because we aggregate the demand of multiple orders optimizing logistic and components costs to make it available to you at a fraction of the cost already at your prototyping phase. If you want to make it by your own you can easily spend more than 100,000 USD. In our webinars more than 65% of attendees consider this price affordable and fair.
