Ram also says the concept is capable of Level 3 autonomous driving, where the steering wheel retracts and the “interior lights, the AR HUD, smart seats, and the steering wheel work together to provide next-level situational awareness to the driver.” External projectors also communicate with the driver and can transform the truck into a mobile movie theater. Ram also says drivers can manage their smart home from the truck and can use a phone app to measure objects and determine how to best carry them in the Revolution.
More information on the production version of the 1500 Revolution BEV will come in the next several months, ahead of the electric truck’s launch in 2024. For now, the concept appears to provide a pretty clear idea of what is to come and some of the innovative technology Ram aims to bring to the electric truck segment.
The Ram 1500 Revolution BEV concept is built on the body-on-frame STLA Frame EV platform and features two electric motors, one on each axle, for all-wheel drive. No power outputs or performance statistics were provided, but Ram says that up to 100 miles of range can be added in around 10 minutes with 800-volt DC fast charging at up to 350 kW. Rear-wheel steering with up to 15 degrees of movement should improve the massive truck’s agility in tight spaces at low speeds, and the air suspension can be set to three levels: ingress/egress, aero, and off-road.
