Ecology and oil prices
Experts, public and policy makers agree,
that human activities are changing the environment and Earth’s climate
in an undesirable way. Global worming, ozone layer thickness reduction and
local pollution are responsible for natural disasters and lower quality of
life. The transportation is the single one most important cause. Additional
political conflicts are rising due to the growing price of oil and people are
concerned about oil peak theories. |
Typical traffic conditions

Roads are full of heavy vehicles, even if the local train is efficiently used

Global trends
The market for new, more efficient transportation technology has been created by the people motivated to reduce their transportation costs and those who care about the environment and their health. Cleaner technologies exist and they offer the solution, however none of the existing systems can give the same performance as the conventional fossil fuel and internal combustion engine propulsions. Price and range issues are usually the main obstacles to market new vehicles effectively. The world is clearly moving towards more efficient propulsions! |

Our vision
In our vision the architecture of the vehicle has to be paradigmatically changed and released by the restricting concepts that limit old conventional technologies. In direct drive propulsion with in-wheel motors, all advanced technologies can be implemented with superior results. We will accelerate the transition towards vehicles of the new generation! Currently our main project is the development of direct drive electric motors for a Slovenian city car called Chebela. Cooperating on this project with Oprema Ravne and other Slovenian companies is the first step in realising our vision. |
