This project focuses on an emergent modular design approach. It is an attempt to combine the advantages of standardisation and customization. The modular vehicle is a disruptive concept for future mobility systems.
Current vehicles are remotely modular within their brands. This project deals with the idea of modularity in vehicles. An alternate way of building vehicles in the future, where vehicles will not stay as they are for the entire product life cycle. At any given point, vehicles may be modified aesthetically or technologically. In that way, there will be absolutely no need to change the entire vehicle. This will result in the utilisation of a much smaller amount of resources to build a new vehicle. Secondly, the user can keep pace with ever-changing technologies; hence, he has the opportunity to update his vehicle by paying only a fraction of the cost.
A modular vehicle enables a user to build, modify, or upgrade this vehicle as per his personal preferences and evolving needs. This may also lead to an increase in the longevity of the vehicle.
