The City Transformer is built by an Israeli electric vehicle start-up, City Transformer
City Transformer aims to launch production of its small urban CT-2 model by 2024
The CT-2 can fit two people or be used for last-mile delivery or other businesses. The company claims 4 CT-2 cars can park in the space of one SUV
To understand how narrow the car is, we can compare it with the Tata Nano. The Nano's width is 1.49 metres whereas CT-2 is only 1 metre wide
The CT-2 boasts a range of 180 km and a top speed of 90 km/h in performance mode
The CT-2 transforms from a 1-metre-wide city mode to a 1.4-metre-wide performance mode. The wheels move outward for enhanced stability at higher speeds
The CT-2 weighs 450 kilograms, lighter than the battery in a Tesla Model 3
City Transformer has selected a factory in Western Europe with an initial annual production of 15,000 vehicles for the same market
The CT-2 model is already approved for use in the European Union and the UK
City Transformer plans to raise $50 million in its upcoming Series B funding round
City Transformer is currently lobbying the EU for subsidies and is wanting to fill the void left by major carmakers shifting away from small cars to SUVs
