City Transformer is a new company of Israeli origin and which was founded in 2014 presenting the project of its Urban EV model. Now, nearly a decade later, the company has reached its first round of financing which allows you to start the appropriate procedures to kick off the serial production of your CT-1, the urban electric microcar that is able to modify its width dimensions depending on whether you are driving or parked.

From City Transformer they are really enthusiastic and grateful to those who have placed their trust in this new company. In the first instance, this round of financing will go mostly to start the serial production process of the CT-1 model, which is scheduled to reach the market throughout the year 2024. Among its main rivals would be the Citroën AMI and its derivatives (such as the Opel Rocks-e), or also other projects that are yet to come such as the Squad Solar City Car, which we were able to talk about a few days ago about its imminent arrival in Europe.

This reservation will be made by refundable initial payment of 150 euros and each interested party will have access to the deposit of a limited number of units yet to be determined. This is done due to the still uncertainty about the number of units that they will be able to manufacture in their first months of production. From this company they promise a significant discount on the final price of the model for those who are the first to reserve a unit. Its commercial price is expected to be around 16,000 euros although this amount can still vary significantly until its official arrival in our market.

The City Transformer has as its main recipe its retractable chassis, thanks to which it can go from a width of 1 meter to 1.40 meters; in the rest of the dimensions it does not vary since it has a fixed length of 2.5 meters and a height of 1.58 meters. It is mechanically driven by two 7.5 kW electric motors each, which take this vehicle up to 90 km/h top speed. The capacity of its battery is not mentioned, although they do determine that it will be able to travel between 120 and 180 kilometers on average.
