The document discusses an open electric automotive platform developed by Beta Epsilon and Bee-Bee Automotive. It describes the platform's open hardware and electronic architecture, modular design allowing for variations in batteries, motors and other components, and validation processes depending on liability and regulations. An open platform is proposed to lower costs by mutualizing the rolling platform, tooling, and infrastructure, making customized mobility solutions economically feasible.

WHY AN OPEN PLATFORM ?
4
 The value is in the matching between the end-user and the « mobile system », not in
the rolling base
 Once you have spent 5 m€ in the rolling platform … you are still like the others !
 Mutualisation of the rolling platform, the industrial tooling, … and infrastructure :
 CAPEX lower by 5 to 10 times
 OPEX lower by 30 to 40%
 Designing bespoke mobility solutions is therefore economically viable
