Mention Xtrac to any motor sports fan or keen motoring
enthusiast and it conjures up images of transmissions and transaxles for anything
from Formula 1 and rally cars to motorcycles, from aerospace and defence to marine
applications, but there’s more. The company produces transmissions and
driveline components for many more humdrum applications – including this
electric van.
Built in
Germany, the StreetScooter uses a single-speed gearbox and differential developed
for front-wheel drive vehicles by Xtrac
The StreetScooter has been designed as a light commercial vehicle to suit a variety of service
industry and trade roles. The extended wheelbase pre-production model has
a cargo capacity of about four cubic metres. It’s designed for city
use and has a power rating of 30-45 kW (40-60 bhp) generated by a lithium-ion
battery and induction motor. Maximum range is 120 kms (75 miles) and the
maximum speed is 85 km/h (53 mph).
I don’t know about you, but if you squint your eyes and peer
at the image, it has something of the Land Rover Evoque about it, does it not? That is if you can take your eyes off the girls!
