Our Task To re-design and optimise the pedalbox of the Immortus

The Pedalbox: How It Functions An assembled device that

converts mechanical force to the brakes and acceleration systems from the driver

Some pedal boxes contain a clutch pedal, which aids in the manual shifting of gears

A pedal box should allow the driver to have full control over the vehicle’s acceleration and braking performance

Relevance Current design is lacking in a few

mechanical components to complete its intended function

The pedal box prototype provided by EVX has not been optimised sufficiently

Our prototype currently does not meet the required standards of the EVX Immortus

The prototype does not have the required roadworthy standards (rubber cover seals to prevent slipping etc.)

Novelty Floor Mounted push back

technology

Adjustable Throttle geometry

Dual Mounting feet - Reduce floor modifications

Adjustable push rod length (Throttle progression)

Elegance Current pedal box design is

not aesthetically pleasing

The parts are very scattered and overly complex

Further refining is necessary to create functional yet streamlined design whilst fulfilling EVX requirements for the Immortus

Genesis

Multi ratio mounting brackets for brake pedal to allow different rations to be used

Baller bearings to be used to increase the smoothness

Come up with a Innovative Design for throttle tuning via unique PE Design without disassembly

Conclusion

Refine the existing pedal box

Continue exchanging information with Brakes, Acceleration and Electrical Systems teams

Must get in touch with Chassis team to discuss pedal box placement
