A Giant Step in Mobility with Hyundai Mobis’ eCorner Innovation

The automotive industry is always evolving, and Hyundai has just taken this transformation to a new level. The company’s Mobility Technology division, known as Hyundai Mobis, has launched an innovative hardware suite: the eCorner.

This technology, which allows a car’s wheels to rotate up to 90 degrees, promises to revolutionize not only how we park but also how we move around cities. Let’s dive into this novelty!

The Idea Behind the eCorner

Although the eCorner was revealed for the first time in 2021, its overall concept has been in development since 2018. The differential is that Hyundai Mobis has now applied this technology to a specific model, the Hyundai Onix 5, to demonstrate its full potential.

Flexibility on Four Wheels

The eCorner is basically a base of four wheels capable of turning the tires up to 90 degrees. This enables a series of unprecedented maneuvers: parallel parking with ease, moving laterally, and even making turns on a fixed point, practically in the same spot. It’s as if the car dances on the road!

Adaptation to Electric Cars

Hyundai emphasizes that this technology is especially suitable for compact and mid-size electric cars, as well as SUVs. The eCorner module can be customized to fit perfectly into the vehicle’s design without taking up unnecessary space.

An interesting point is that Hyundai Mobis chose not to incorporate motors in the wheels themselves. This could add unsprung weight to the assembly, compromising the vehicle’s comfort and driveability. The focus now is to develop a “skateboard platform” with four eCorner modules by 2023 and integrate autonomous driving technology by 2025.

What to Expect from Hyundai’s eCorner

The Hyundai Mobis eCorner is more than just a simple innovation; it is a glimpse into the future of mobility. With the promise of greater flexibility and efficiency in traffic, this technology could become a game changer in the automotive industry.

What to Expect from Hyundai’s eCorner

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

How remains of a 17th-century ship found in Finland turned into dresses: wood from the Hahtiperä shipwreck, buried for over 300 years, was transformed into textile fiber by Ioncell technology.

World Cup paintings can result in fines and even legal action in some cities, but many people still ignore this rule before the tournament.

Fishermen find a rare 127 kg substance inside a whale in Yemen, sell the “whale vomit” for $1.5 million, and become millionaires with the find in the Gulf of Aden.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.
