The 'Easyturn' Axle Offers a Spectacularly Short Turning Radius
Rahul Kalvapalle — July 22, 2022 — Autos
The 'Easyturn' is an automotive axle concept, created by auto parts manufacturer ZF, that is designed to offer truly exceptional turning ability that will cater to the needs of vehicular operations in compact spaces such as crowded cities.
The workings of this particular front axle concept was introduced by ZF by being fitted onto a BMW i3, with the end result being a vehicle that offers spectacularly tight turning abilities, which significantly enhance the ability of the driver to maneuver the vehicle in and out of tight parking spots. With a turning radius of only 6.2 meters, this automotive axle offers significantly enhanced handling capabilities.
Designed specifically for use in front wheel drive vehicles, the 'Easyturn' axle concept has the potential to significantly enhance maneuverability of both compact and capacious vehicles alike.
