AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current trailable vehicle manufacturing methods are labor-intensive, prone to water ingress, mechanical connection loosening, and result in heavy, unstable vehicles with reduced structural integrity and increased fuel consumption.

Method used

A trailable vehicle body formed by directly connecting side walls, roof, and base using welding or folding, eliminating mechanical connections and incorporating reinforcing ribs and a drawbar for improved rigidity and load distribution.

Benefits of technology

The solution results in a lighter, more rigid, and weather-resistant vehicle with reduced water ingress and improved handling stability, minimizing mechanical connection loosening and material usage.
