One year after its debut at the Munich Motor Show and after a very profitable round of financing for the Israeli start-up City Transformer and its partners at Segula Technologies, the world's first electric microcar capable of folding and becoming narrower in seconds with the touch of a button, you're one step closer to going into production. Thus, the dream of being able to park almost anywhere can become a reality in just two years , when the first units of the small two-seater CT-1 are expected to begin arriving. It has two electric motors, reaches a maximum speed of 90 km/h and promises a maximum range of up to 180 km . It can now be reserved for 150 euros (refundable) and its launch price will be 12,500 euros for those who are quicker. Then it will go up.

Up to four CT-1s in a standard parking space The Israeli start-up City Transformer was founded in 2014, although it was not until last year when it presented its debut to the public for the first time at the Munich Motor Show: a true showcase of the future of the automobile in an electric key. Cities want to recover the space given up to cars: in some, buying a Cell Phone Number List normal model already costs as much as a house IN MOTORPASIÓN Cities want to recover the space given up to cars: in some, buying a normal model already costs as much as a house So the CT-1 already stood out among the electric microcars for being a most transgressive solution for the cities of the future and little by little it has been moving towards its serial production: the 10 million dollars obtained in its last round of financing marks the start of the countdown.



The truth is that the small CT-1 arrives on the threshold of a moment of change in the planning models of large cities globally, which involves leaving behind the private use of the car with the aim of reducing both environmental pollution. as acoustics. Cuty Instead, other alternative forms of mobility are encouraged such as car sharing or pay-as-you-go, or Personal Mobility Vehicles (PMV). However, this 100% battery-electric urbanite classified as class L7e (heavy quadricycle) thanks to its very particular characteristics and capabilities is determined to make a place for itself in the city. And the truth is that it doesn't need much space. In the CT-1, the driver is in front and the passenger travels in the rear, as was already the case in the Renault Twizy . It is structured around a modular 'skateborad-type' platform, it has dimensions of 2.5 m in length, 1.58 m in height and a wheelbase of 1.8 m , making it wider and taller.
