Microlino: Production starts in Turin
FINALLY IT'S GOING Since its successful appearance at the IAA in Munich, the development team of the small Swiss electric car Microlino has been preparing for production in Turin - and reports promising progress.
The car is produced in Turin. The video shows a short insight into the production hall.
Persistent bottlenecks in the global supply chain have forced the manufacturer to postpone the start of production of the Microlino micro-electric car until mid-March. The online configurator will start in February. The first test drives can be taken a few weeks later. The delay will be offset by a faster ramp-up of production.
The first units already produced will initially be used for additional tests and process optimization. Deliveries to customers can be expected in April or May in Switzerland and soon after in Germany.
Special Pioneer Series model for series launch
In addition to the three editions Urban, Dolce and Competizione, which have already been presented, Microlino is introducing an edition limited to the first 500 vehicles called Pioneer Series.
The dwarf, which is just 2.52 meters long and weighs only 435 kilograms without the battery, can be ordered with battery capacities of 6, 10.5 or 14 kWh. This is expected to enable ranges of 95, 175 or 230 kilometers. The 12.5-kW drive motor is good for a top speed of 90 km/h. In addition to two people, there is room for 230 liters of luggage in the small sphere.
More detailed information and prices of the models will follow soon.
