You’ve probably seen the GMC Hummer EV crab walking, and so can this Hyundai Ioniq 5 prototype, thanks to the e-Corner system. This technology integrates the steering, braking, suspension and driving systems into a wheel without requiring any mechanical connection between parts, which thereby allows a better use of space within vehicle.
Hyundai’s e-Corner system allows 90° rotation of the wheel when needed, such as when parking. When crab (sideways) driving and zero-turn is enabled,rotation without moving forward or backward is possible. It’s also expected to increase the agility of a vehicle running through the narrow urban streets while also improving the urban driving environment.

Unlike other auto parts manufacturers that make specific parts, Hyundai Mobis is capable of developing key parts that are used in vehicles including steering, braking, connectivity and electrification parts and it is seen that the synergy between these parts has been helpful in developing the e-corner module,” said the company.
