PIVOTAL DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES

Chevalier’s technology has been driven by four pivotal development principles:

1. Irreducible Minimum

2. Digitalisation

3. Connectivity, and

4. Extensive Research

These principles are clearly identifiable by examining the specifications of any of the Chevalier products.

1
Irreducible Minimum
The principle of the “Irreducible Minimum” lies at the heart of Chevalier’s approach to true ecological design and development. It’s the point where a product cannot be refined further, and where every element serves a purpose and nothing more is needed. Guided by this ideal, we didn’t just aim to make our products smaller and lighter; we set out to enhance it. The result is a design that preserves essential functionality while introducing new possibilities through innovative, sustainable features.

Digitalisation
The second principle adopted was to ensure the Chevalier products are always ahead of the prior art and in step with latest advancements in science and engineering. Recognising the impact data has on future developments, all of the Chevalier products are adapted with integrated Control Electronics (microcomputers) and made ready to respond in real time to any request and provide feedback on performance, environmental situations and position status conditions.
3
Connectivity
The third principle adopted was to ensure the Chevalier products are adapted with the means to respond to future demands and evolution. The Chevalier products are all adapted with the capability for reprogramming in situ without the need to have access to the product or disassemble any part of the vehicle. The products can be interrogated and reprogrammed remotely from anywhere on the planet and beyond.
4
Research
The fourth principle is essential and complements the first. All of our developments are instigated after an extensive examination of the prior art with the aim of determining a clear path for viable technological advancement. Our research invariably culminates in patents of invention of significant commercial and environmental benefit.
New Technology
Chevalier introduces the first ever Single Motor, Electrical Release and Clinch Closure System for passenger vehicle front trunk or engine cover. This system is revolutionary new. It integrates control electronics, uses a single motor and introduces a considerable number of new features and functions.

Power Closure and Electrical Release System for Vehicle Front Trunk or Engine Cover
Our research has identified a significant shortfall in the prior art dedicated to securing the front trunk / engine cover of passenger cars. Chevalier set out to redress this shortfall and in February 2016, introduced to the market a much needed novel technology solution.
The system introduced by chevalier redefines the prior art and offers a significant reduction in size, weight and cost entwined with a level of safety and comfort never seen before. With this Chevalier innovation, it will no longer be a struggle to open or close the front trunk of a car. The front trunk can now open, close and clinch shut by the press of a button or on approach. Having to wrestle or touch the front trunk is now a thing of the past.
