Seat Altea XL Electric Ecomotive
SEAT has released the first images and details of its electric car prototype – the Altea XL Electric Ecomotive. This electric car was designed, developed and built in Spain. The car is powered by an electric drivetrain that delivers 115 hp (85kW) and 270 Nm of torque. It has an estimated range of 135 km that is more than enough for daily driving. It has a top speed of 135 km/h, which could prove to be useful even outside the city limits. SEAT will be producing and will be delivering a fleet of test vehicles to the Spanish governmental institutions in Catalonia and Madrid to be used in their vehicle fleets.
This information will be used to find out what they need to accomplish before the Altea EV has to go into production. SEAT’s President James Muir said that customers are looking for a more sustainable type of mobility but their requirements are diverse. He said that SEAT is in the best position to meet their needs due to a parallel strategy of developing two different technologies.
He added that SEAT’s electric future is guaranteed. The electric Altea XL indicates “just how mature [its] technology is.” Dr. Matthias Rabe, executive Vice-president for R&D, said that the electric Altea XL is an “intentionally studied choice for the first fleet” and will give the company the chance to test out a broad range of functions.
