Olympus eMVDS: Our disruptive "Lego-EV"
Olympian is pioneering the modular EV production in the American auto industry.
► We engineered a disruptive, modular/open electric vehicle platform to change traditional EV manufacturing methodologies in the United States.
► Olympian eMVDS offers a disruptive 'Lego-EV' architecture that drastically cuts tooling, machinery, fitment and labor expenses, reduced production lead times and enables our rapid go-to-market plan.
► Full-compatibility with Tesla charging standard (NACS): All Olympian vehicles are fully compatible with the Tesla (NACS) standard, allowing our customers to use Tesla home chargers and Superchargers seamlessly.
► Minimalistic cockpit: We offer a simplified infotainment/navigation module and removed dependency to excessively large display screens and buttons in today's cars.
Our vehicles are powered by Olympus Open EV Platform (eMVDS), our disruptive EV architecture.
► Model O1 (Sedan) ► Model 84 (SUV) ► Model 42 (MPV)
Key Advantages of Olympus Open EV Platform:
• Rapid design-to-production cycle: Shortened to 8 months from the industry average of 5+ years
• ~70% reduction in tooling & machinery costs
• ~30% reduction in wiring harness & associated labor expenses
Our novel modular EV manufacturing approach revolutionizes the conventional car production process, enabling a Lego-like assembly of Olympian electric vehicles.
At Olympian Motors, we reject today's over-standardized and banal car experiences.
We prioritize:
► Experience over cliche.
► Aesthetics over horsepower.
► Silence over noise.
► Steel and wood over plastic and toxic chemicals.
► A screenless, minimalist cockpit over large, invasive display screens
Strategic Long Term Objectives:
- Capture 7% market share in the U.S. light-passenger vehicle market by 2030.
- Change the status-quo in automotive design, and bring aesthetics, style and experience back to the car industry.
- Pioneer modular, "Lego-EV" production and change the manufacturing inertia in United States. We aim to bring agility, speed and cost-efficiency back to the U.S. automotive industry.
- Outcompete Lucid, Rivian, Ford and GM by 2030, using the advantage of Olympian eMVDS - modular vehicle/drivetrain system. We strongly believe that our modular EV approach is a smarter way to produce cars.
- Make Olympian the 'Android' of electric vehicles: Our modular EV platform, Olympus, gives us a competitive edge to outpace Lucid, Rivian, Ford, and GM by 2030. The simplicity and modularity of our platform allow for more efficient production and a cost-effective way to build cars at scale. We aim to pioneer modular EV production and drive higher production outputs while sustaining cash-positive unit economics.
