Atlis Motor Vehicles and ArcelorMittal sign agreement to accelerate pick-up truck development

Mesa, Arizona (USA) - September 6, 2022

Atlis Motor Vehicles (Atlis), a vertically integrated start-up EV company developing an electric work truck and the batteries and motors to drive it, announces today the signing of a collaborative agreement with ArcelorMittal, the leading producer of automotive steels, to help speed its product development. Under the agreement, Atlis will use ArcelorMittal’s steel materials knowledge and S-in motion^® solutions to accelerate its vehicle design.

• Engineering collaboration will accelerate vehicle design of all-electric work truck and XP platform
• Pickup cab and box designs virtually homologated for vehicle crash tests and structural performance standards

Atlis will use ArcelorMittal’s S-in motion^® pickup truck model, as well as cab and box designs to help guide the design of its XT, a purpose-built, fully electric pickup truck designed to support individuals and fleet owners who work in agriculture, service, utility, and construction industries.

S-in motion^® is a set of lightweight steel solutions developed by ArcelorMittal for automakers who wish to create lighter, safer, and more environmentally friendly vehicles. Atlis will use ArcelorMittal’s body in white CAD engineering information to reduce weight and cost, while increasing the range of its XT.

The Atlis XP skateboard platform is the base for the 500-mile range electric Atlis XT pickup. A standard XP platform consists of two identical modular drive systems located in the front and rear of the vehicle, four traction motors, independent suspension, drive-by-wire technology and an Atlis battery pack. The modular system is designed to be plug-and-play, from a pickup to a box truck to a flatbed and will enable the vehicle to be serviceable even on the side of the road.
