Chassis Engineering
CHASSIS
Structure & Suspension
Chassis and suspension concepts for a car company still on the drawing board. Design intent, not tested hardware.
These are the chassis directions Schubert is designing toward across its eighteen concept vehicles — from an ambitious active suspension goal for the Cyclotis to carbon and aluminum structures for the rest of the fleet. Nothing here has been built or measured. Every figure is a target.
The Cyclotis Goal
ACTIVE ELECTROMAGNETIC SUSPENSION
The design goal for the Cyclotis is a fully active electromagnetic suspension — no conventional coil springs, dampers, or anti-roll bars, with each corner controlled by an electromagnetic linear actuator handling ride height, damping, and roll together. This is intent, not a built system.
The ambition is response fast enough to react to surface inputs before the tire deflects, and body control that holds low body roll under cornering load. Whether it delivers that is exactly what a prototype has to prove — no such prototype exists yet.
Actuator force, stroke, and response-time numbers are engineering targets pending hardware.

Noctus and the Performance Concepts
CARBON FIBER STRUCTURES
For the sharper concepts such as the Noctus, the intended structure is a carbon fiber monocoque — chosen on paper for torsional rigidity, with body panels acting as non-structural aerodynamic surfaces.
Material grades, layup schedules, and torsional-stiffness figures are not published because none have been built or tested. They are design directions, not specifications.
The intent is to design panels as bolt-on assemblies where possible so collision repair does not require replacing a whole tub — a serviceability goal from a founder who spent about 25 years fixing cars.

Grand Touring and SUV Concepts
ALUMINUM STRUCTURE
For larger concepts such as the Summit and the Velma SUV, an aluminum structure is the intended direction — chosen on paper for repairability and recyclability alongside stiffness.
Specific alloy grades and frame rigidity figures are in development; we are not publishing them as facts.
As with the rest of the fleet, curb weights and structural numbers become real only once a prototype exists.
