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
