Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/061428
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method for converting a vehicle by exchanging its drive unit from an internal combustion engine driving principle to an electrically operated drive train, wherein, as a replacement unit, the drive unit comprising at least one electrically operated motor is provided, wherein the replacement unit (i) is spatially compatible with the available installation space of the removed drive unit comprising the internal combustion engine, (ii) is mechanically compatible for the interfaces, and (iii) behaves functionally identically at all the interfaces. The invention follows the form-fit-function concept and thereby permits extremely rapid market access for converted vehicles because these vehicles can continue to use existing component approvals for the greatest possible number of their components, thus dispensing as far as possible with new approval tests.
