Sono Motors technology could arrive on MAN commercial vehicles

Let's go back to talking about Sono Motors but not about your car of which you & egrave; speculated a lot over time. The company, in fact, will collaborate with MAN Truck & amp; Bus to verify the possibility; to be able to integrate its Sono Solar technology into MAN's eTGE electric van. We therefore speak of the integration of solar panels to obtain additional electricity that will serve; for different purposes.

ENERGY FROM THE SUN

The companies intend to study different applications. Specifically, Sono Motors will focus on not only on the possibility; to be able to increase autonomy of the electric vehicle thanks to the energy produced by the solar panels but also on the capacity; to produce additional energy that will serve; to power auxiliary devices such as, for example, a possible refrigeration system installed on the van.

The technology developed by Sono Motors is applied more; easily to vans than to cars due to their larger size and therefore to the greater available surface where the solar panels can be integrated. For the moment, the timing of this project has not been indicated. Therefore, one cannot & ograve; do nothing but wait to understand how it will proceed; this experimentation and if there will be; some sequel to series production.

MAN's eTGE model is; used essentially in activities of the cos & igrave; said & quot; last mile & quot ;. According to the manufacturer, the autonomy reaches up to 110-115 km in the WLTP cycle thanks to a battery with capacity; of 35.8 kWh. The electric motor has an output of 100 kW. The speed maximum reaches 90 km/h. Being able to slightly increase the range of this vehicle or to limit the energy consumption of auxiliary devices through Sono Motors technology could improve flexibility. of use of this vehicle. Jona Christians , co-founder and CEO of Sono Motors, commented:

& Egrave; a great opportunity for Sono Motors to collaborate with an industrial partner such as MAN and work together for a brighter future; sustainable. Our Sono Solar technology offers a lightweight and adaptable platform ideal for light commercial vehicles such as MAN's battery-powered eTGE. We look forward to all opportunities. that these two sustainable technologies can offer.
