What we build is the mechanics and drive technology of the PALLAS.75 — derived from the ZELOS range already in production, with documented spare parts availability. Those are exactly the assemblies available individually.
Quantities, prices and delivery times depend on volume and are therefore not listed here. What we can commit to, we commit to in conversation.
Drive sprockets as milled aluminium parts, rollers, tracks and running gear mounts. On the PALLAS.75 that means 60 mm wide tracks and two rollers per side — designed for low ground pressure and traction on soft ground.
Motor and gearbox unit with the matching control, connected over CANopen. Matched as an assembly rather than assembled from individual parts — which saves the design work that in-house developments usually get stuck on.
The mechanical mount with four latches, plus the power and data interface. Whoever adopts it can use superstructures built for the PALLAS.75 — and the other way round.
Putting control, sensors and the operating side onto an existing vehicle. The most demanding case — and the one where the question of responsibility has to be put most sharply, see below.
An assembly that does not perform a specific function on its own is partly completed machinery. It comes with a declaration of incorporation and assembly instructions setting out the conditions under which it can be assembled into complete machinery without impairing safety and health. We supply both.
That makes the division of roles unambiguous: we are liable for the risks arising from our component, and for the declaration of incorporation and the assembly instructions. As the final integrator, you are responsible for safe integration and for the CE marking of the finished vehicle.
That is not passing the buck but the division the law makes — and the reason we assess before we build in a retrofit. Sorting that out belongs to engineering and conformity.
The new EU Product Liability Directive (EU) 2024/2853 entered into force on 8 December 2024 and has to be transposed into national law by 9 December 2026. For anyone supplying or fitting components, three points matter:
We raise this here because it shapes how we work together: anyone fitting one of our assemblies into their vehicle and taking on the CE marking should know how the liability position changes from that date. Contractual demarcation and documentation are worth more from then on than they were before.
