Teijin and Applied EV develop autonomous vehicle platform for LS-EV Teijin Limited and its joint development partner Applied Electric Vehicles (Applied EV) have achieved a major milestone toward their shared vision for zero-emission future mobility. By utilizing Teijin’s lightweight, highly efficient material technology and expertise in composites manufacturing, Teijin and Applied EV have delivered a production-ready one-piece structural shell for Applied EV’s zero-emission robotic vehicle platform, the Blanc Robot. The shell is a key component and enables AEV to reduce the weight and manufacturing complexity of the vehicle significantly, enabling AEV to achieve low mass, high energy efficiency and excellent structural performance.
