Harting interface
Power, data and signal for autonomous vehicles
Swiss automotive manufacturer Rinspeed presented its new Metrosnap concept car at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. The manufacturer is once again relying on a specially designed interface from Harting to supply the vehicle with power, data and signals.
Harting is taking the next step for the mobility concepts of tomorrow with the Rinspeed Metrosnap. The Harting module supports the driver in using the vehicle quickly and flexibly for different tasks, whether for passenger transportation or goods logistics.
Like its predecessors Snap and Microsnap, the Metrosnap consists of two elements, the moving skateboard as an optimized electric vehicle and the so-called pod, which can be flexibly changed for different tasks.
Communication, signal transmission and power supply must always function smoothly between these two elements. As soon as the pod and skateboard are securely connected, the connectivity link between the two elements is established automatically. Power, signal and data then flow, taking into account the special requirements of a mechanical connection.
Rinspeed has relied on Harting solutions in the recent past. In the last two years, a fast-charging solution from subsidiary Harting Automotive has been supplying Rinspeed vehicles. Harting Automotive has long been at home in the automotive supply industry market and has recently seen a sharp rise in demand for e-mobility solutions. The company develops and produces charging equipment for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.
Rinspeed and Harting have been working together successfully since 2016: The Mica was installed in the Etos vehicle for independent emission and condition monitoring. In 2017, Harting supported the Rinspeed Oasis car with another component from the Mica ecosystem, the Minimica. In 2018, Harting provided the fast-charging technology for the Snap. Last year, the Microsnap was charged with the fast-charging push. as
