Traditional vehicle designs separate load-bearing frames from heavy energy storage units, leading to redundant weight and wasted space. Integrating these components addresses the parasitic mass penalty that limits vehicle range and payload capacity.

Discontinuity in load paths between separate frame components leads to structural failure during collisions. Establishing unified force transmission prevents localized cabin deformation.

Inadequate energy absorption during collisions leads to passenger compartment intrusion. Improving structural integrity ensures occupant safety and vehicle durability.
