| # | Patent No. | Short Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | US8449015B2 | A dual hinged door assembly for vehicles that allows independent motion of its upper and lower portions |
| 2. | US10023038B2 | An energy absorbing and distributing side impact system for a vehicle that uses a large battery pack integrated into the vehicle structure to provide rigidity and protection in side impacts |
| 3. | US9828039B2 | Vehicle impact protection structures that absorb and dissipate energy during collisions |
| 4. | US9065103B2 | A battery assembly that can be shaped to fit the available space and resist crushing forces |
| 5. | US9187131B2 | Vehicle impact protection structures that deform when hit by a blunt object to absorb energy and reduce damage to the vehicle |
| 6. | US8875828B2 | An integrated battery pack design for electric vehicles that utilizes the battery pack's rigidity and strength to enhance vehicle performance and impact resistance |
| 7. | US9352785B2 | Vehicle subframe design that allows the front part to detach and fold downward in a crash while the rear part remains attached |
| 8. | US8702161B2 | Vehicle underbody structure with integrated energy absorbing and distributing side impact system |
| 9. | US8393427B2 | Integrating the battery pack of an electric vehicle into the vehicle structure to enhance performance and impact resistance |
| 10. | US8573683B2 | A vehicle front structure that achieves improved performance in terms of front impact load distribution, structure weight, vehicle frame rigidity, and vehicle maneuverability |
| 11. | US8960781B2 | A lightweight, high strength vehicle rocker panel that is easy to manufacture and provides improved torsional rigidity |
| 12. | US9780719B2 | An east-west solar array designed to reduce lift forces and improve aerodynamics compared to conventional arrays |
| 13. | US8448966B2 | A vehicle front shock tower design that provides a low hood profile while maintaining sufficient clearance for pedestrian safety |
| 14. | US10173739B2 | Integrated vehicle end structure that provides a strong, lightweight, and flexible assembly at the vehicle end |
| 15. | US8757709B2 | A reinforced B-pillar assembly for vehicles that improves side impact resistance by coupling the B-pillar directly to the rocker panel and an extended brace that is attached to the top and back rocker faces |
