The video presents the multi-purpose expansion unit for the robotic electric vehicle EO smart connecting car 2. With this vehicle, the researchers are pursuing a modular concept that allows for different modules to connect with each other, e.g. vehicle with vehicle or vehicle with trailer.
Due to the new expansion unit – capable of acting as a trailer among others – the scientists have now been able to demonstrate the modularity of the EO smart connecting car 2 for the first time. The multi-purpose expansion unit offers the right solutions for individual transport requirements thanks to its enormous adaptability as a basic platform.

It can act as a trailer with loading area, a range extender or a passenger module. Furthermore, it can be adapted to individual needs such as space requirements or transport capacity. The unit can also be used in combination with other trailer modules.//DFKI
