Revolutionizing Urban Deliveries: QARGOS and the Power of Simulation

Amidst the bustling urban landscapes that define our modern cities, a transformative innovation has arrived that reimagines the essence of urban logistics. QARGOS, a pioneering force in the realm of transportation solutions, proudly unveils the QARGOS F9 Scooter Cargo Platform. This launch is not merely the introduction of a new vehicle; it represents a paradigm shift towards sustainable and efficient urban delivery systems, powered by the advanced capabilities of Dassault Systèmes’ 3DEXPERIENCE platform.

A Vision for Sustainable Urban Logistics

The unveiling of the F9 Scooter Cargo Platform marks a pivotal moment in QARGOS’s journey. With its roots deeply embedded in the quest for sustainable transportation solutions, QARGOS has meticulously crafted the F9 to address a critical void in the logistics sector. This innovative Compact Logistics Vehicle – CLV™ – is designed to transport cargo weighing between 20 kg to 120 kg and up to 225 liters in volume, effectively bridging the gap between traditional two-wheel and larger 3/4-wheel vehicles.

Identifying an untapped market potential exceeding US$5 billion, QARGOS set forth on a mission to develop the first electric cargo vehicle tailored for this niche segment. The result is the F9, a testament to years of dedicated research, development, and an unwavering commitment to innovation.

Harnessing Cutting-Edge Simulation for Unparalleled Innovation

At the heart of the F9’s development lies the strategic utilization of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, embodying QARGOS’s commitment to leveraging state-of-the-art technology to foster innovation. This cloud-based platform has been instrumental in optimizing engineering processes, enabling virtual twin thinking, and ensuring integrated data utilization across various engineering disciplines.

The platform facilitated a collaborative environment where engineering teams could work on a virtual twin of the electric cargo vehicle platform, streamlining the development process from ideation to production. This approach has not only enhanced the engineering-to-manufacturing cycle time but has also ensured component reuse and addressed complexities related to vehicle variability with unparalleled efficiency.

The QARGOS F9: A Game-Changer in Global Logistics

The QARGOS F9 emerges as a revolutionary force in global logistics operations, particularly in regions where scooters, motorcycles, and e-bikes are integral to logistics. It addresses the limitations faced by individuals who rely on two-wheelers for income, offering a safer, more efficient, and significantly enhanced cargo capacity solution.

With a front storage area boasting a 225-liter capacity and a load-bearing capability of up to 120 kg, the F9 redefines the standards of cargo transportation on two wheels. Its patented design in over 40 countries, modular for customization including refrigeration options, and equipped with IoT technology, the F9 aligns with 12 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), reinforcing QARGOS’s dedication to contributing to global sustainability objectives.

The Journey to Innovation

Founded by electrical engineer Vijay K. Praveen in 2013, with Co-Founder Alok Das joining in 2016, QARGOS’s journey from utilizing SOLIDWORKS Premium for initial designs to the integration of the 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio in 2021 is a narrative of continuous evolution and growth. The adoption of a unified modelling and simulation (MODSIM) approach has been a cornerstone of this evolution, enabling QARGOS to achieve significant milestones in the vehicle’s development.

Advanced simulation solutions from SIMULIA within the 3DEXPERIENCE Works portfolio have been pivotal in realizing time and cost savings for prototyping and physical testing. This strategic approach led to a 30% reduction in chassis weight, improved vehicle aerodynamics, and maximized cargo compartment size, significantly enhancing the F9’s performance in real-world conditions.

Spearheading a Logistics Revolution

The QARGOS F9 is more than a cargo scooter; it is the harbinger of a logistics revolution. With over 500 product demonstrations and more than 30,000 miles of road testing, QARGOS is not merely launching a product; it is pioneering a sustainable and efficient future in urban delivery.

As cities worldwide continue to grow and evolve, the need for innovative, sustainable logistics solutions becomes increasingly critical. QARGOS stands at the forefront of this transformation, ushering in a new era of urban delivery with the F9 Scooter Cargo Platform. Through its commitment to sustainability, innovation, and the utilization of cutting-edge technology, QARGOS is not just advancing the world’s transition to sustainable logistics; it is reshaping the future of urban mobility.
