Three engineering pillars behind every eVersum vehicle
eVersum concentrates its technology development on three active pillars: a modular electric vehicle platform, a vehicle architecture prepared for automated driving, and a disciplined approach to safety, cybersecurity and validation. Classic commercial-vehicle know-how is combined with the specialised skills required to integrate and advance the latest technologies.
• Modular architecture: eVersum designs and builds battery-electric commercial vehicles for passenger transport on a common, scalable platform covering the eShuttle low-floor shuttle in 6.9 m and 8.4 m lengths, automated-driving-ready derivatives, the eTrain and project-specific chassis solutions.
• Battery and charging: Battery capacity and charging configuration are selected for the duty cycle, vehicle length, passenger load and climatic conditions. The platform supports AC and DC charging; the charging strategy is defined with the operator for each project.
• Efficiency and TCO: Lightweight design, energy efficiency and an optimised total cost of ownership (TCO) are core engineering objectives across the platform.
• Specifications: Detailed specification values are published only after technical sign-off.
The vehicle architecture defines four responsibility layers:
• Perception, localisation and automated-driving compute — third-party SDS partner.
• Planning/control integration and safety concept — jointly engineered.
• Redundant actuation, vehicle control, power supply and interfaces — eVersum domain.
• Complete M3 vehicle platform — eVersum domain.
The base vehicle is SAE L0 and automated-driving-ready. A higher automated-driving capability (up to SAE L4) is reached only after partner integration, validation and regulatory authorisation for the specific project.
• Management systems: eVersum operates management systems certified to ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management) and ISO/IEC 27001 (information security management).
• Functional safety: Safety engineering applies ISO 26262 principles, including hazard analysis and risk assessment (HARA), as an engineering framework within development programmes.
• Cybersecurity: Threat analysis and risk assessment (TARA) is applied in line with the objectives of UN Regulations No. 155 (cybersecurity) and No. 156 (software updates) where applicable to the programme.
• Validation: Verification and validation accompany each programme from prototype through small-series build. Product certification is claimed only where documented.
