<p style="text-align: justify;">Since 3 years Altreonic
NV is pursuing the development and market deployment
of its light weight KURT™ electric vehicle system (L6
category). Its disruptive and uniquely modular
architecture (patent pending) was specifically
designed for urban environments, out-doors as well as
in-doors</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Two models are in the
making. Model-S features a width between 78 and 100 cm
and has a maximum speed of 24 km/hr. Model-M features
a width between 100 and 140 cm and a maximum speed of
44 km/hr. It also has heavier (Lithium-Ion) batteries
and more powerful motors allowing it to carry up to
300 kg. Both vehicles have a a range that allows a
full day driving (about 200 km on a flat terrain). </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">What sets the KURT
vehicle really apart from other vehicles is its
complete modularity. For more details <a

monitoring and fleet management for KURT
e-vehicle</strong></u></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Developing the KURT
vehicle has resulted also into a number of significant
enhancements to Altreonic's supporting tools. The KURT
controller software runs on the VirtuosoNext RTOS. To
enhance safety and security, all Tasks and memory
regions are protected from each other, yet it runs on
a modest ARM M-series controller with little memory.
As VirtuosoNext is a distributed operating system, the
application runs replicated on the four controlling
nodes of the
KURT self-propelled platform. The GoedelWorks platform
is used to keep track of all engineering data in a
traceable way. In line with the methodology, the KURT
vehicle can also be remotely monitored through a
smartphone or mini-tablet (that functions as driver's
vehicle dashboard). For more details <a

a Service: On the road to packet switching</strong></u></span></p>
<p>Altreonic has published a <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://www.move-forward.com/news/details/mobility-as-a-service-on-the-road-to-packet-switching/"
target="_blank">new article on the Move Forward
website</a>. Below the abstract:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A few decades ago,
telecom and internet spawned a new and disruptive
socio-economic wave by bringing the marginal cost of
communication and information sharing close to zero.
This was largely made possible by a switch from
circuit-switching to packet-switching networks.
Information as well as voice and video is chopped up
in small packets and flows over dynamically changing
virtual highways and no longer over fixed wires. How
can the key learnings from this
revolution be applied to Mobility as a Service?</p>

<p><span style="font-size:16px;"><b><u>Our roadmap for

<p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe to the surprise of
some, but the KURT e-vehicle development started
conceptually some years ago. In 2009 to be precise. At
that time it sounded a bit like science-fiction and
while the KURT does not yet deliver on all the ideas
that were formulated at that time, rereading the
roadmap text was an interesting experience. It wasn't
such a far fetched idea after all. Essentially, KURT
delivers the base vehicle on which we can build to
deliver all upcoming auto-driving functionality. </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">One note however. Our
base vehicle is not a 2-wheel one. A safety analysis
has shown that this is not safe enough. So, we went
for 4 wheels, a solution that also is more
space-efficient than a 3-wheel one. Read <a
