What’s Happening: U POWER, a skateboard chassis pioneer, has revealed China’s first mass-producible skateboard chassis-by-wire on UP DAY 2023. This technology allows for smart EV customization at lower costs and marks two business milestones: UP VAN will be delivered to customers who placed an order by year-end, and U POWER will partner with fblife.com to create a series of electric off-road vehicles.
Why It Matters: UP Super Board, an upgrade to the previous version released last year, enables automakers to build an advanced smart EV from scratch in as little as 12 months. Built on UP CCCA and UP VMC, UP Super Board is positioned as an integrated software and hardware operating system for smart EVs. The proprietary UP VMC, along with brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire, and suspension-by-wire, enables the first-ever integrated control of chassis motion, resulting in improved development efficiency and significant cost savings for vehicle motion control development.
