The first deformable part of the Morphoz concept car is the body.
The deformable body length is very rare even in the concept car, so the Morphoz concept car is also the car with the most "inner taste" of Transformers. Renault's idea is to install more battery packs by changing the length of the car body, thus increasing the comprehensive cruising range of the Morphoz concept car. The idea of changing electricity seems a bit plagiarized, but Renault's idea of changing electricity can actually be better traced back to Israeli companies? Place cooperation, but the unfortunate bankruptcy of 20 13 company led to the end of this idea.
Moreover, it is worth mentioning that the Morphoz concept car did not completely replace the entire battery pack, but added an additional 50kWh battery pack on the premise of the original 40kWh battery pack capacity, which increased the total cruising range from 400 km to 700 km. Renault calls the former short-distance commuting mode and the latter long-distance travel mode. As the name implies, when users are ready for a long journey, they can add a battery pack at a predetermined charging station. In the specific operation, thanks to the pure electric platform of CMF-EV platform, the whole battery pack is tiled on the chassis, so the whole power replacement process can be completed in just a few seconds.
As shown above, after the Morphoz concept car is switched to the long-distance travel mode, the wheelbase is increased from 2.73m to 2.93m, and passengers in the car can get more interior space. In addition, the length of the car body has also increased from 4.4m to 4.8m, and the extension of the rear of the car has also expanded the space of the trunk, which is also in line with the positioning of the travel mode.
The second deformable part of the Morphoz concept car is the seat.
Like most concept cars, Morphoz has a high level of automatic driving ability, which enables TA to achieve fully automatic driving in some scenes, thus freeing the driver's hands. What you can see is that each seat of the Morphoz concept car adopts an independent system, and these seats can be adjusted to some extent. For example, the front seats can be completely turned to the rear by the way shown below, so as to enhance the convenience of passenger communication in the car and realize face saving? Where to? The way the face speaks
In addition, when the Morphoz concept car switches to the long-distance travel mode, the rear seats will automatically move backwards, thus expanding the leg space of the rear passengers.
Che Yun abstract
All along, we are looking forward to the deformable future of cars. From the earliest sci-fi movie Yinji Heizi, to Bumblebee in Transformers, and then to James Bond's 007 series movies, it seems that the future of automobile deformation is getting closer and closer to us. Now, can you see the vision of Mercedes-Benz modularization? URBANETIC concept car, Audi's flying car concept, or the future car with retractable steering wheel concept, ta has more or less the concept of deformation.
The significance of Renault Morphoz concept car lies in bringing the concept of deformability to the desktop again. And the concept of deformation is combined with the concept of power exchange, which gives it more practical significance for intelligent electric vehicles. However, in Che Yun's view, the Morphoz concept car is more to show Renault's flower of life design concept, L3 autonomous driving ability and the idea of intelligent cockpit scalability. At least from the way the Morphoz concept car seat rotates, it is very unreasonable for a person who normally sits in the co-pilot seat.
So, do you think the Renault Morphoz concept car is as flashy as Lawrence's shoes, or do you think TA is the pioneer of smart electric vehicles in the future?
