XBUS is 98% recyclable!

 

with up to 6m2 solar modules mounted on the roof, XBUS can generate up to 10kWh of additional electricity. moreover, with this self-charging method, external charging becomes unnecessary for most mobility requirements. regarding performance, the vehicle’s removable battery packs are integrated either in the back or in the middle, depending always on the chosen structure. with exchangeable battery modules, it is even possible to restore the product’s range very quickly. autonomous stations for battery replacements are also foreseen. 

 

‘XBUS is one of the most environmentally friendly four-wheeled electrical vehicles in the world. it is not just 98% recyclable but it can also create its own energy with solar modules on the roof,’ says martin henne, CEO at electricbrands.
