”“Right to Repair is about giving control back to the user. That’s exactly what we are doing as well.”

ARIA

Anyone Repairs It Anywhere

This year, TU/ecomotive’s team presents ARIA the car that Anyone Repairs (it) Anywhere. The vehicle lasts longer and is easier and cheaper to maintain. Users can repair the car themselves and are no longer dependent on the manufacturer for minor fixes.

The key lies in the construction: ARIA consists of separate components such as the battery, body panels, and electronic elements in the interior. If something breaks, the user only replaces the faulty part. With clear manuals, standardized components, a built-in toolbox and an app that reads out the car’s status, you can perform maintenance yourself.

The team hopes to inspire the policymakers to push the Right to Repair (R2R) directives also for the Automotive market, while providing new pathways for automakers and leasing companies to comply with these regulations and make EV’s sustainable.

Highlights

Quick Release Body Panels
A scratch or dent? Click the panel off and replace it within a few minutes.
Remove a panel and you instantly have access to the components behind it. Making accessibility to internal components top notch.

Modular Batteries

Whereas regular EVs have one large, heavy battery, ARIA uses six smaller modules of about 12 kilos each. You can detach them by hand, it works almost as easily as replacing the batteries in your remote control. Together, the six batteries provide a total capacity of 12.96 kWh.
