XBus: Original way of mobility 🎥
LAST SHIP Electric vehicle manufacturer Electric Brands had unveiled the XBus electric van as a prototype in the summer of 2021. Now the first variants are in testing, and the next prototype, the Camper, is under construction.
Even the design of the XBus is unusual. Initial surveys have shown that people like the car.
The XBus is coming onto the market with some delay because the global supply chains are not functioning properly due to the pandemic. Production is scheduled to start in Itzehoe in northern Germany in the middle of the year. The price for the basic model will be less than 20 francs.
CEO Martin Henne: "Three years ago, we set out to change mobility for the long term. We won't give up on that, even because of the pandemic. We are now using the time to drive forward the development of the XBus and other products."
Short supply routes and sustainability
For production, the components are delivered pre-manufactured and then brought together in assembly. For this purpose, the manufacturer was able to get suppliers on board who meet all the requirements for short delivery routes, sustainability and recyclability.
Electric Brands also wants to use the delay for significantly more testing than is actually required in this class. Numerous active and passive safety systems are also to be installed in the XBus models.
