Automotive Technology Development
As vehicles make the shift to electric power, an exhilarating new era emerges—one characterized by low-carbon transportation and a commitment to environmental sustainability. The battery and power become a challenge when heavy load and long distances as there is limited opportunity for recharging. Hence Red is working on technologies to provide solutions for these challenges optimally and sustainably.
Products
Red Automotive Technology develops and builds products for the automotive industry with the vision of solving the challenges of towing trailers, off-road driving, EV power recharging, etc. Two Guardian is a technological solution for trailer towing.
Two Guardian
Two Guardian is a new development in trailer towing. It eliminates sway using virtual-pivot technology and uses a gas-over hydraulic actuator to provide the vehicle with weight distribution adjustments. the integration of a brake controller with force-sense technology allows faster and smoother vehicle stopping. All these features of Two Guardian will make trailer towing safer and easier.
The three-in-one caravan coupling design of Two Guardian has won the best new safety trophy in the 2023 Caravancampingsales Innovation Awards. Paul said, “There will be some significant changes for the production version. It will be smaller and more compact,”
