Henrik Fisker has taken to Twitter to tease an
"exciting" new model which will be part of a "whole new
segment." While the image only shows the upper half of the vehicle, it
appears to a mobility shuttle in the form of an MPV. This further back up by
the text in the model's window which shows a departure time and Fisker's hint
that "the future of mobility will change forever."
Fisker didn't elaborate but it's possible the
vehicle will have an autonomous driving system so passengers can simply board
the model and be whisked to their destination. That's not official at the
moment but the upcoming Fisker EMotion will allow for "fully autonomous
driving when approved and released by a soon-to-be-announced partnered
supplier."
Additional information is limited but it's possible
the vehicle will also borrow some other technology from the EMotion. That
particular car has a carbon fiber, composite, and aluminum structure that
enables the vehicle to be extremely lightweight. The EMotion also uses a new
powertrain layout that creates a spacious interior and that would certainly be
helpful for a mobility shuttle.
The US$ 129,900 EMotion is slated to have a range of in
excess of 640 km)and a top speed of 260 km/h. The vehicle
will also have all-wheel drive and a high-tech charging system that can deliver 201 km of range in just nine minutes.
