Purpose-Built Vehicle
Purpose-Built Vehicle (PBV) is a vehicle that can be manufactured in various forms according to the user's purpose. It was presented by Hyundai Motor Company in 2020.
Overview
[edit | edit source]On January 6, 2020, Chung Eui-sun, Executive Vice Chairman of Hyundai Motor Group, presented three specific visions for the future mobility business combining air and ground transportation at the CES 2020, and one of them is Purpose-Built Vehicle, PBV. It can share a basic platform but have different appearances and functions depending on their intended use.[1]
In January 2024, Kia unveiled three PBV concept cars at the CES 2024, including the mid-size PV5, the compact PV1, and the large PV7.[2]
Platform
[edit | edit source]The PBV-only platform is implemented based on E-GMP.S (Service), which was developed based on Hyundai Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), which was unveiled in 2021.[3] It was developed as a skateboard platform concept that can apply various upper bodies on a flat platform, so it can be applied to a wide range of product lineups from small to large PBVs.[2][4]
