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:
Here’s the 2-seat version of the platform:OSVehicle’s mission is to democratize mobility by enabling businesses and startups to design, prototype, and build custom electric vehicles and transportation services.
