The MEVS consists of a driving vehicle module (Head) and a plurality of non-driving vehicle modules (Tails), such as SUV, truck-bed, tool/passenger vans, RV.
The driving vehicle module with all functions as an independent operable vehicle with two front wheels and a retractable single wheel at rear-middle position of the vehicleretracted into its housing compartment after the driving module is coupled with a non-driving module.
The non-driving modules have at least two wheels located at rear section of the modules; a retractable supporting structure located at front section of the modules for parking and are retracted into compartments housing it and its actuator when the non-driving module is coupled and configured with a driving vehicle module and ready to operate. A standard coupling and configuration system is applied to compile all types of vehicle modules.
The core part of the transformable vehicle system is the Automated Coupling and Configuration System (ACCS). The ACCS consists of: a control system; longitudinal frame couplers for connecting and combining frames of the driving module and a non-driving module into one frame; a pair of bundled plugs and for connecting and configuring electronic and computer systems, electric system, signaling system; safety and operational systems and other software and hardware connections between driving and non-driving modules; a plurality of vehicle body couplers for connecting and coupling bodies of the driving and the non-driving module into one vehicle body; a sensor and or video imaging system; an independent adjustable suspension system; a retractable and adjustable single wheel on the driving module; and a retractable and adjustable parking support system on the non-driving modules.

The transforming vehicles may be switched and resembled with wireless controller and with no driver seating inside the vehicle. This animation is for conceptual demonstration only, not product design.
Users may buy a set of modules (plus an extra tail) and can also rent, lease, or swap with other users via app. connected user networks or service networks. This animation is for conceptual demonstration only, not product design.
The Multi-modular Electric Vehicle System may also enable light commercial fleet and parcel delivery vehicles load, swap and drop ship like semi-trucks. Eliminating vehicle loading and idling time; substantially cutting off shipping and delivery turnover time; significantly cutting down equipment, labor and operational costs; and reducing detention time (loading and unloading time) for two-axle commercial vehicles from 2 hours down to 8 minutes!
