e’mo Lightweight Electric Vehicle

e’mo is a lightweight electric car for town and local traffic, of a totally new design. Consistent with the motto of “less is more” e’mo renounces all superfluous unnecessary burdens and places in pole position the original purpose of the automobile, that is individual mobility. The name itself stands equally for electric motion, efficient mobility and for emotion. Thus the central concerns for e’mo are optimal energy efficiency with high suitability for everyday use, an attractive and distinctive package, and all this at an affordable price.

A small and completely committed team has brought the project from its inception to the fabrication of the first roadworthy prototype in not more than six months, and this on a tight budget. The father of the e’mo is Professor Markus Henne (Leader of the Institute for Materials Science and Plastics Processing) (IWK) at the Technical University Rapperswil. He is an expert in lightweight construction and has been concerned for a long time with the possibilities that lightweight construction can open up in the car industry. The Zurich based design studio StauffacherBenz (with the collaboration of Sandra Kaufmann) is responsible for design and conceptual development.
