Hyundai Motor Company offers aerodynamic resistance that minimizes the aerodynamic drag generated during high-speed driving. zamIt introduced 'Active Air Skirt' (AAS) technology, which effectively increases the driving range and stability of electric vehicles (EV). During high-speed driving, AAS works variably depending on vehicle speed, controlling the air flow entering from the bottom of the bumper. This technology, which effectively controls the turbulence around the vehicle wheels, also helps electric cars achieve a better driving range on a single charge.
Moreover, aerodynamic performance affects not only power performance but also zamIt also has a significant impact on driving stability and wind noise. In addition; It also supports the design to reduce the friction coefficient (Cd), which directly affects efficiency.
AAS is installed between the vehicle's front bumper and front wheels and is hidden during normal operation. When the vehicle exceeds a speed of 80 km/h, it starts to work automatically and zamIt also functions to increase the vehicle's downforce. Thus, it increases vehicle traction and high speed stability in the best possible way. AAS can also operate at speeds above 200 km/h. Hyundai first tested this new technology on the Genesis GV60 model and announced that it improved friction by 0,008 percent by reducing the friction coefficient (Cd) by 2,8. This means an additional range increase of approximately 6 km.
Hyundai plans to put this new technology into mass production after durability and performance tests.
