ROUND ROCK, TX / ACCESSWIRE / September 21, 2023 / AYRO, Inc. (NASDAQ:AYRO) (“AYRO” or the “Company”), a designer and manufacturer of electric, purpose-built delivery vehicles and solutions for micro distribution, micromobility, and last-mile delivery, announces that it has been issued U.S. Patent No. D997786 from the U.S. Patent Office and Trademark Office for additional components of the AYRO Vanish (the “Vanish”).
The design patent titled “Electric Vehicle” pertains to the common chassis base profile and reconfigurable cargo subsystems of the Vanish. This is the second design patent that has been issued for the Vanish and is one of several patents that the Company has applied for as part of the vehicle’s design.
“This patent, which protects the innovation of our reconfigurable cargo subsystem is a complement to the design patent already granted on our innovative core chassis,” noted Tom Wittenschlaeger, CEO at AYRO. “The unique core chassis architecture of our vehicles, starting with the Vanish utility low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV), only serves to further differentiate them from their industry peers.”
The awarded design patent is comprised of figures and designs of the Vanish, as well as adaptable configurations and includes the following:
- The profile design of a common core chassis bare profile;
- A modular, tailorable enclosed food, pharmaceutical and miscellaneous climate controlled cargo system;
- Multi-vehicle transposable ramp and associated chocs;
- Reconfigurable, multi-compartment pick-up bed;
- Deployable stair configuration;
- Stake bed cargo option;
- Cargo net configuration payload section;
- Lightweight up-and-down containment side pickup bed; and
- Fixed hard-back perforated metal stakebed equivalent.
“We believe our innovation is unparalleled in our class,” continued Wittenschlaeger. “The ability to create one vehicle that can serve multiple purposes is just one way that we are striving to change the low-speed vehicle space and redefine sustainability.”
AYRO has been honored with two prominent awards in 2023, the Red Dot Award for Product Design and the Frost and Sullivan North American New Product Innovation Award. Additionally, AYRO has secured two design patents and two utility patents for the Vanish and has filed several others, along with numerous foundational patents in the field of sustainability.
