In the framework of the ICT-EM III project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy, ACM is developing an emission-free e-mobility system for cities.

The aim is to make electric mobility competitive and easy to implement. To this end, a small electrically powered lightweight category L7E vehicle equipped with intelligent software and hardware as well as a low-voltage battery swapping system are constructed and prepared for the pilot phase.
