Project description

Our vision is to develop electric vehicles for the future. According to research one of the biggest problem is air pollution with ICE vehicles in the traffic. We can take the pollution under control by reducing the passenger vehicle numbers in the traffic and we can do that with increasing the public transportation. After that the next stop is to drive free / autonomous our entire product range. In this context we launched our first real bus size level 4 driver free vehicle in Europe with Autonomous e-ATAK launched in 2021.
. With Autonomous e-ATAK, we shape future of public transport and serve to our customers in future technology.
