Volkswagen has introduced the concept eT!, an electric vehicle that aims to represent the future transport and mobility. The eT! is electrically powered and allow semi-automatic driving when needed. A great novelty, since this new concept is able to drive through a stick from the passenger seat. A model that aims to continue the more than sixty years that the firm develops commercial vehicles to facilitate daily transport of goods, services, or delivery of mail.
The eT! aims to become the cornerstone for innovative and futuristic logistics concept, which not only emission-free flowing through urban areas, thanks to its electric-wheel motors, it also provides maximum freedom to maneuver and turn, and optimum use of interior space the vehicle. Also if you “refuel” with electricity generated from renewable energy sources, ET! can operate with zero emissions.
