City Transformer CT-2: Second Round for the Foldable City EV

In mid-September, the next version of the electrically powered quad City Transformer with variable track width is to be officially presented in Turin during the opening day of the "Salone Auto Torino." Developed in collaboration with the Turin-based company CeComp, the CT-2 is to be produced in Piedmont and distributed from there to the main European markets. The two-seater electric vehicle can change its width to adapt to different traffic conditions. The lightweight electric vehicle is 2.5 meters long, has a distinctive design, a 450-liter cargo space, and car-like comfort and safety features, as the manufacturer promises. Thanks to the special chassis with variable track width, it can stretch its width from 1.0 m in the city configuration, which allows it to move easily on the narrowest streets and park in spaces reserved for motorcycles, to 1.3 m in the performance configuration, which then guarantees greater stability at higher speeds.

Folded together, the CT-2 reaches a speed of 40 km/h, and in full width, 90 km/h. The energy for propulsion is provided by an LFP battery, which is supposed to enable a range of up to 180 kilometers. It will be available in a passenger version with seats arranged in a row and in a commercial cargo variant as a single-seater with a large rear compartment. The vehicle was developed by a group of Israeli engineers, designers, and entrepreneurs who patented the frame for a four-wheeled vehicle.
