18 Wheels has created a multi-purpose innovative vehicle that can go where others can’t. As a deep tech startup, we have tackled one of the most significant challenges in the automotive industry by pioneering the first eco-friendly all-terrain vehicle with an innovative suspension system. Our technology aims to revolutionize the automotive industry.

Our vehicle stands out with its eco-friendly design and innovative suspension system, offering unmatched stability and comfort on challenging terrains. Our technology allows it to overcome obstacles up to 30 cm at 40 km/h, whereas conventional vehicles can barely only manage 20 cm at 2 km/h. The adjustable air suspension further enhances stability and safety. Due to the lightweight our vehicles do not harm the environment, leaving no tracks.

We are addressing significant limitations and safety issues of traditional ATVs in overcoming obstacles safely and efficiently for the driver and without environmental damage. The vast majority of ATV accidents occur while attempting to overcome obstacles, resulting in a minimum of 400,000 injuries annually, with one-third of the victims being children. Another issue is the limitation on ATV use in environmentally protected areas, as they can harm the soil and sensitive ecosystems.
Our vehicle solves these problems with an innovative design that includes an advanced suspension system, allowing it to overcome obstacles efficiently. This capability provides unmatched stability, comfort, and safety, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and enhancing user confidence. Additionally, our eco-friendly design ensures minimal environmental impact, enabling enabling the expansion of ATV use into restricted environmental conservation areas.

Safety for users: Our vehicle, with its advanced suspension system, enhances stability and reduces the risk of accidents, benefiting ATV users, including families, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals by providing a safer off-road experience.
Environmental conservation: Our eco-friendly vehicle, which leaves minimal environmental impact, allows for sustainable off-road travel, benefiting environmentalists, forestry departments, and conservation organizations by enabling access to conservation areas without harming the environment.
Recreation and Mobility: The combination of off-road capability, comfort, and safety makes our vehicle ideal for recreational activities and inclusive mobility. Outdoor enthusiasts, adventurers, and individuals with mobility challenges will enjoy expanded access to rugged terrains and remote locations, enriching their experiences and opportunities.

First, we determined the suitable wheel diameter and then calculated how many wheels would fit on a standard-sized ATV or snowmobile frame. The optimal number turned out to be 18 wheels

Tracks don’t perform well at high speeds. They make steering significantly heavier and considerably increase unsprung weight. With our design, they do not offer any advantages.

It reaches up to 110 km/h under good road conditions.

The ATV featured in the video is specifically designed to test fundamental engineering and design hypotheses in real-world conditions. Production of the first prototype of the ATV, equipped with an enhanced steering and suspension system, is already in progress. Our team is rectifying the errors identified in the previous model.

Based on our tests, up to 6 out of 18 wheels can break, and the device will not lose its fundamental characteristics.

All 18 wheels of the vehicle are equipped with a hub motor mechanism inside. With the electric current from the battery, the electric motors within the wheels receive power and rotate. This is how our vehicle moves forward.

The initial prototype is too soft, hence unable to brake sharply. The new prototype doesn’t have this issue. Its suspension will be pneumatically adjusted based on the driver’s weight. At high speeds, the ATV will be as stiff as possible, preventing critical tilting during abrupt breaking.

Each wheel is sealed, and future prototypes might even have the ability to float.

In the second prototype we have already implemented reverse drive.

The preliminary price is 25,000 euros. During the pre-order phase, you can purchase it at a significantly reduced price. This aligns with the cost of a regular ATV from a top European or American brand. We are on par with the top ATVs in all parameters, and additionally, we have three distinct advantages.
