INDIGO - HOW SMART WHEELS COULD REVOLUTIONIZE ELECTRIC VEHICLE PERFORMANCE!

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth look at Indigo Technologies' innovative 'smart wheel' technology, set to debut in their 2027 vehicle lineup. The core of the innovation lies in an in-wheel motor that also offers vertical movement, effectively eliminating traditional axles and enabling a revolutionary low, flat floor. This design significantly enhances interior space for passengers or cargo and improves safety by creating a more robust crumple zone. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's suitability for ride-hailing and delivery, emphasizing its flexible interior and autonomous-ready drive-by-wire systems. A smaller, more affordable 'Dash' model is also showcased, offering a compact, efficient option for local use or fleet applications, though it lacks the smart wheel technology. The smart wheel's ability to actively manage unsprung mass is presented as a major advantage, promising superior ride comfort, stability, and handling, even surpassing current active suspension systems. The potential for licensing this technology to other OEMs is also discussed.
