The utility patent represents another milestone for AYRO as the Company continues to develop new processes and innovations as part of the organization's SchlägerNull™ approach.

"The AYRO team is developing technologies we believe have never before been seen in any vehicle, much less a low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV)," noted Tom Wittenschlaeger, CEO of AYRO. "Our vehicles utilize what we refer to as the SchlägerNull™ approach in all of their designs. This approach is a philosophy and design discipline focused on enabling our vehicles to exist, traverse or operate in a physical space without altering it or leaving minimal trace of their presence upon departure."

The awarded utility patent titled "Electric Vehicle Control Systems, Apparatus and Methods" is for the invention of vehicle control systems including sensors and software that adjust the operational profile of the vehicle using localized vehicle context to reduce environmental impact. This includes utilization of location data as well as local environment data including, but not limited to weather, precipitation, friction, temperature, time, audio and more. Practically speaking, the control system generates and executes a set of wheel instructions to enable at least one controllable motor to cause the wheels to take corresponding actions to adjust for the environment, such as tire pressure changes or torque profile adjustments to prevent terrain damage.

"In our development of the 2023 AYRO Vanish, we've worked to create a vehicle that is not only utilitarian in nature, but also sustainable," said Mark Luckevich, chief engineer at AYRO. "Sustainability is really about balance which requires dynamic adjustments. We are developing technologies that not only allow the vehicle to be built in a sustainable fashion, but also allow the vehicle to adjust to its local area to leave little to no impact on the environment."
