Patent number: 11833895Abstract: Vehicle platforms, and systems, subsystems, and components thereof are described. A self-contained vehicle platform or chassis incorporating substantially all of the functional systems, subsystems and components (e.g., mechanical, electrical, structural, etc.) necessary for an operative vehicle. Functional components may include at least energy storage/conversion, propulsion, suspension and wheels, steering, crash protection, and braking systems. Functional components are standardized such that vehicle platforms may be interconnected with a variety of vehicle body designs (also referred to in the art as “top hats”) with minimal or no modification to the functional linkages (e.g., mechanical, structural, electrical, etc.) therebetween. Configurations of functional components are incorporated within the vehicle platform such that there is minimal or no physical overlap between the functional components and the area defined by the vehicle body.Type: GrantFiled: May 20, 2020Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Assignee: Canoo Technologies Inc.Inventors: Daniel George McCarron, Alexi Charbonneau, William J. Rohr, Charles Garmel, Felix Haeusler, Nathaniel Risler Rosso, John Mason, Mayurkumar Ashokbhal Agrawal, Phillip John Weicker, Sohel Merchant, Naesung Lyu, Chung Shen Ang, Jeffrey Walsh

Publication number: 20230173866Abstract: A vehicle suspension system includes left and right control arm assemblies each having a wheel mount structure, an upper control arm, and a lower control arm. Each control arm includes a first end configured to be pivotably connected to a frame structure of a vehicle and a second end rotatably connected to the wheel mount structure. The vehicle suspension system also includes a transverse leaf spring having an elongated body extending between the control arm assemblies, outer mounting brackets respectively connecting left and right ends of the elongated body to the left and right control arm assemblies, and one or more inner mounting brackets located between the outer mounting brackets. The transverse leaf spring is contoured such that a contoured portion of the elongated body deviates in a downward direction in order to extend below an electric drive system disposed within an internal space between rails of the frame structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2023Publication date: June 8, 2023Inventors: Felix Haeusler, Nathaniel Risler Rosso, Chung Shen Ang, Jeffrey Walsh, Alexi Charbonneau, Brian W. Austin, Charles Garmel, John Mason, Daniel George McCarron, Naesung Lyu

Patent number: 11618292Abstract: A suspension system configured to sit substantially within the profile of a vehicle platform such that none of the elements extend substantially above the plane of the vehicle platform. The suspension system may utilize an adaptable transverse leaf spring in combination with other suspension elements, to allow the vehicle platform to maintain a generally flat profile and accommodate a variety of different body like structures while maintaining the desired roll and ride stability stiffness.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: April 4, 2023Assignee: Canoo Technologies Inc.Inventors: Felix Haeusler, Nathaniel Risler Rosso, Chung Shen Ang, Jeffrey Walsh, Alexi Charbonneau, Brian W. Austin, Charles Garmel, John Mason, Daniel George McCarron, Naesung Lyu
