e-4ORCE radio-controlled car tackles drivability challenge
Nissan has developed the e-4ORCE radio-controlled car, an RC car that replicates the Nissan e-4ORCE all-wheel control technology installed in the all-new Ariya, offering impressive handling to everyone.
e-4ORCE is Nissan's most advanced all-wheel control technology. Engineers fine-tuned e-4ORCE's precision control technology and twin electric motors, installed in the front and rear, to provide drivers with the confidence to handle and enjoy cornering on a variety of road surfaces. This newly developed e-4ORCE RC car replicates the e-4ORCE control technology installed in the Nissan Ariya, and is intended to allow a wide range of customers to easily experience e-4ORCE in an understandable manner.
Mechanics of the e-4ORCE RC car
The
e-4ORCE
RC
car
uses
four
electric
motors,
one
for
each
wheel,
to
reproduce
the
controls
that
bring
out
the
maximum
amount
of
grip
from
each
tire.
Based
on
control
technology
developed
for
the
RC
car
by
e-4ORCE
engineers,
and
driving
conditions
monitored
by
sensors
mounted
in
the
vehicle,
the
driving
force
of
each
motor
can
be
individually
controlled.
Operation
of
the
e-4ORCE
RC
car
is
done
with
an
arcade-like
setup,
complete
with
accelerator
pedal,
steering
wheel
and
a
tilting
racing
seat.
A
monitor
linked
to
the
car’s
on-board
camera
gives
the
driver
a
first-hand
impression,
like
driving
a
real
car.
The
e-4ORCE
RC
car
has
been
tested
repeatedly
and
created
by
the
Nissan
engineers
who
do
research
and
development
for
the
full-scale
e-4ORCE
technology.
Background to the e-4ORCE RC car development
This
e-4ORCE
RC
car
was
developed
to
convey
one
of
the
major
features
of
e-4ORCE;
how
good
the
driving
performance
is,
as
it
lets
the
driver
drive
with
peace
of
mind
along
their
intended
line.
By
expressing
advanced
technology
in
a
fun
and
interesting
way,
this
electric
RC
car
allows
people
of
all
ages
to
better
understand
how
the
technology
works.
In
addition,
the
e-4ORCE
RC
car
demonstration
follows
on
the
heels
of
Nissan’s
Ramen
Counter
project
video,
which
conveys
another
major
feature
of
the
e-4ORCE
in
an
easy-to-understand
way,
which
is
to
reduces
front
and
rear
vehicle
sway
when
decelerating
to
help
to
reduce
potential
occupant
discomfort.
