The electric concept vehicle "Eva" will be unveiled at Valmet Automotive's press conference at the international Geneva Motor Show on the 2nd of March. Today the first photo of the car is published.
"Eva" represents Valmet Automotive's extended service offering to automotive industry. The target of the project was to develop new innovations for an electric vehicle and its recharging system. There are no decisions to start the production of the car.
"Eva" is a 2 + 2 seat urban electric vehicle for environmentally conscious individuals and families with a range of 160 km and with a top speed of 120 km/h. The aluminum spaceframe is optimized for an electric vehicle and the modularity makes it easily adaptable to different types of vehicles and body variants. A direct drive motor simplifies vehicle's mechanical structure and increases efficiency.
The partnering energy company Fortum has developed in cooperation with UTU ELEC a charging station, which starts and ends charging of an electric vehicle by SMS.
Thanks to the cooperation with Nokia, the car is equipped with a pioneering Human Machine Interface through mobile handset connectivity.
The booth will also showcase a demo based on NAVTEQ's high-quality map data and content which enables green routing and driving functionality use cases.
