"Cast off!" The new abstraction car from EDAG Engineering + Architecture AG will be authoritative its aboriginal actualization on March 6, 2007, in Geneva - the "EDAG LUV". The architecture abstraction of the "LUV" is based on an luxury-class SUV and incorporates a amphibian attending from bow to stern: bashed teakwood on the hood, as the attic on the interior, and on the affected burden breadth conveys a amphibian flair. But the "EDAG LUV" is a absolute eye-catcher in added respects as well: the burden area, abaft the two rows of seats with affluence of allowance for 5 passengers, has been outfitted with teakwood and audibly resembles a quarterdeck - in befitting with the amphibian attending of the abstraction car.
The Bore Abstraction of the "EDAG LUV" - An Economical Approach to Agent Derivatives
But the amphibian architecture of the "EDAG LUV" is aloof the accoutrement for a modular abstraction which makes it accessible to about-face cartage into derivatives or alcove cartage at reasonable expenditures of time and money. In advancing up with their carapace concept, the EDAG aggregation of engineers, headed by activity administrator Andreas Funk, set themselves the ambition of application the greatest accessible cardinal of butt parts. The accumulation can absolutely be appreciative of the after-effects of the able bore concept: 90% of the genitalia appropriate to accomplish the alteration of a luxury-class SUV into the "EDAG LUV" appear off the genitalia shelf of the basal vehicle. For example, the addendum of the attic pan by 512 mm was accomplished application aboriginal parts. The wheelhouses were additionally acclimated after any modifications, as were the genitalia for the rear-end finish, which includes affiliation of the accepted power-lift arrangement from the sedan. "In accession to our efforts to use a best cardinal of identical parts, we were abnormally accurate to accumulate the absolute assembly abstraction of the basal agent in apperception during the development of the 'EDAG LUV'," explains Andreas Funk. "The independent anatomy can be absolutely anchored application accepted tongs. It goes after adage that we acclimated simulation models during the development of the absolute anatomy abstraction to analysis blast behavior and acerbity so that we could agreement the accomplished akin of affection and safety." The advantages of the EDAG bore abstraction are obvious. Thanks to the use of identical genitalia and demography into annual the assembly concept, a agent abstraction which is visually absolutely new can be accomplished beneath economically absorbing conditions. "More and added end barter are allurement for alcove vehicles, and this blazon of architecture turns the assembly of such cars into a 'business case' for the manufacturers," credibility out Johannes Barckmann, Head of Architecture at EDAG, in anecdotic the concept.
