The EVUM aCar is a compact all-electric commercial vehicle with all-wheel drive. EVUM Motors is the spin-off of a visionary research project at the Technical University of Munich. The electric-vehicle developed by the then project leaders Martin Šoltés and Sascha Koberstaedt should not remain just an idea. The industrialisation of the research project is now the heartfelt project of a now large team that is driving forward the realisation of the mission with a great deal of commitment and motivation. The aCar is manufactured at the factory in Bayerbach near Ergoldsbach. The noiseless and emission-free aCar is particularly suitable for natural habitats. The all-wheel drive makes it a multifunctional off-road vehicle. But also indoors, the aCars size (1.5 m wide and 1.99 m high) makes it the ideal commercial vehicle for your logistical needs. With the additional loading capacity of 1,000 kg payload or 1,000 kg trailer load (braked), the aCar utility vehicle is indispensable in everyday life. The aCar also serves as a power source. The external socket allows the operation of any electrical devices (230 V) with up to 3 kW continuous power.
