The automobile clients would buy an electric car for their daily commutes today rather than tomorrow, if only the industry could deliver any. According to this, the automakers could place up to 600'000 electric cars in Europe, of which 250'000 would be sold in Germany.

Energy consumption and CO2 emissions are becoming relevant parameters at the purchase of a car. The most evident asset of the electric motor is its very high efficiency which helps to brake down on total cost of usership.

The most cost intense element of the electric drive is the energy storage needed to obtain attractive ranges.

We realise a golden compromise which makes the range grow towards in nity and the cost stay down on earth.

Drive on Energy

The vehicles with the SwissCleanDrive use the ef cient and zero emissioned electric propulsion in everyday driving. For longer trips, the original ICE helps out as a range extender.

Like this, there is always suf cient energy in the tank, even though driving is electric most of the time.

Take what we got

The innovations of Project Nextwave are only the recombination of known technologies and processes.

Most of the components are already on the market. It is our challenge to put them together the right way and to establish them on the market.

Use what you know

A new driving system is a challenge. We want to make life very easy for the users. Always.

This is our policy from concept to detail in order to keep the best of the worlds we combine: Effciency and comfort of the electric drive run in close combination with the range and power of the ICE.

Both of them being on their best behaviour.
