Triggo’s electric vehicle has been developed in response to the growing demand for “future-orientated” urban mobility in the large metropolitan markets of Europe, Asia and the Americas, such as autonomous robo-taxis and car sharing services. Triggo vehicles are designed to ease pressure on existing busy urban transport infrastructure and to meet future transport needs in smart cities and towns through improved urban mobility.
With a view to commercialization in 2021, Triggo, which was founded by CEO Rafal Budweil, is in discussion with major players from across the industry, operating on different continents, and includes international automotive corporations looking for ways to improve urban mobility. The company is also in talks to license the manufacturing of its vehicles by third party manufacturers.
The two-seater vehicle, which has been in development since 2015, has a unique variable chassis that enables drivers to choose between two modes: cruising -mode for speeds up to 90km/h and maneuver-mode, at speeds of 25km/h to nip through traffic, and park like a scooter.
The vehicle uses innovative "Drive-by-Wire" digital control and replaceable battery alleviating charging stops and the need for a public charging station infrastructure. Its spacious, enclosed, two-seater cabin fulfils user requirements for safety systems as well as multimedia and comfort features such as bluetooth connectivity and air conditioning. Driving Triggo on the road requires only a standard drivers’ license.
Triggo’s development comes as the support for zero emission vehicles and shared transport services continues to grow. According to Deloitte, by 2040, 50% of passenger cars in the world will be powered electrically and, by 2030, between 56 to 160 million electric cars will be on the road.
Rafal Budweil, CEO and founder of Triggo, said, “We completed work on the pre-production version of Triggo earlier this year, and recently completed our offer for licensing the vehicle so we can begin serial production by 2021. We are extremely excited about the progress we have made with Triggo, which is at the forefront of technology and provides an innovative and environmentally friendly solution for improving urban mobility.”
