[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Mando announced on the 11th that it will unveil a new vision for future technology based on safety and freedom, "Freedom in Mobility," at CES 2021.

At this CES, Mando will explain themes related to freedom enjoyed together with Mando, such as freedom of space and smart delivery. It will also present future car solutions where integrated modules using "X-by-Wire" electric hyperconnectivity technologies like BbW (Brake by Wire) and SbW (Steer by Wire) autonomously interact with the driver. The SPM module connects people and micro-mobility. The world's first chainless pedal electric system, the SPM module, offers design freedom for e-micro mobility.

Freedom of space refers to the freedom of activities enabled by converting interior usage. This freedom is especially maximized in fully autonomous driving mode. This is thanks to the SbW "Auto Stow" function, which won a CES Innovation Award. Automotive design companies can enjoy design freedom. Mando's "by-Wire" technology is also applied to brake components. It consists of four EMBs mounted on the wheels, an electronic brake pedal, and a DCU. Vehicle stability control (ESC), booster, parking cable, and engine oil tube are removed, operating purely by electric signals.

The e-brake pedal features an Auto Stow function that allows it to be pulled out and pressed when needed, freeing the driver's leg movements. BbW does not use brake oil, making maintenance easier and environmentally friendly. Mando, the only company worldwide to develop and mass-produce integrated brake, steering, suspension, and ADAS systems, is accelerating the development of "in-wheel motors" (electric vehicle drive units) and "ECM" based on its SbW and BbW design experience.

The SPM module introduced by Mando is a pedal-type chainless electric system. Its customers are micro-mobility design and manufacturing companies. The SPM module is applied in various concepts to e-micro mobility vehicles with 2, 3, or 4 wheels, providing diverse lifestyles in many areas of our daily lives. The SPM module is primarily targeting the delivery market and is set to enter the European market this year.

At this CES, Mando will showcase dual safety device control technology with a high-performance DCU. The dual safety device is applied to brake and steering components.

A Mando official said, "We plan to approach global customers more closely through this CES," adding, "We will clearly express our strong will to challenge a limitless future as a cutting-edge mobility integrated solution provider."
