Its combined engine power can create over 350 kW, a new benchmark for EQ power. Furthermore, the revolutionary battery technology is based on graphene-based organic cell chemistry and thus completely eliminates rare, toxic, and expensive earth such as metals.
The AVTR’s sideways movements are unlike anything else with four wheels and, because of the position of the central controller, the passenger can easily take over driving duties. This all happens in silence, of course, thanks to the AVTR’s fully electric drivetrain with a total power output of 469 horsepower.
For the first time, the Vision AVTR concept vehicle is using a revolutionary battery technology based on a graphene-based organic cell chemistry that is completely clean of rare earths and metals. The materials of the battery are compostable and therefore completely recyclable, according to the firm.
