The manufacturer of electric city cars E-Go Mobile wants to expand its portfolio and score points with quick battery changes instead of long charging times. To finance the ideas and expand the E-Go ecosystem, an IPO is on the cards.

The Aachen-based manufacturer of small electric cars has been toying with an IPO for some time. Now the plan seems to be becoming reality. Next E-Go Mobile SE already made the move official in mid-March. In practical terms, this will see the carmaker slip into an operationally inactive public company, Athena Consumer Acquisition Corp (so-called SPAC process). The move would significantly improve the capital position of the manufacturer, which went bankrupt at the start of the corona pandemic. This would be used to ramp up production capacity in perspective.

Next.e.GO Mobile SE today announced that it has entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Trafigura Pte.

"The electric little thing that will soon roll out of the production hall is 3.36 meters long and goes by the name of e.Go e.Wave X."

[...]

"However, the e.Go team was not only concerned with sustainability in the electric drive, but also in the body-in-white and body parts. The result has a significant impact on the TCO of Life and e.Wave X, according to Herget. That's because the body-in-white consists of an aluminum spaceframe that is bolted to the roll cage rather than welded. And the outer body is formed not by sheet metal but by polymer parts. Some of these are already made of recycled materials, can be recycled again and, according to e.Go, offer an advantage in everyday use that should not be underestimated: "It takes a lot of force to damage the outer skin with scratches or dents," says Herget, explaining the advantages of the technology. "And if damage does occur, it can be repaired much more quickly and cost-effectively than with classic steel or aluminum sheet bodies." If repair is not possible, the individual parts can simply be replaced.."

Vision Mobility: e.Go - City Car with Cleverness from Silicon Valley

**April 17, 2023, Hanover, Germany** – Next.e.GO Mobile SE (“e.GO”), an innovative producer of urban electric vehicles and unique production technology, today announced that it will attend the Hannover Messe trade fair in Germany, from April 17-21, 2023, alongside Microsoft, at the Microsoft booth in Hall 17 Booth G06. 

This year’s trade fair, under the central theme of Industrial Transformation, features a range of technologies, industrial solutions and innovations as well as the difference they can make in overcoming global challenges and promoting smarter, more energy-efficient, and sustainable industry and energy systems for the future.  

In addition to its vehicles, e.GO will also be showcasing its unique and disruptive MicroFactory production technology, which it believes will empower flexible, capital-efficient and decentralized growth in the automotive industry. e.GO´s robotics solution along with the tech-first IT architecture (the Internet of Production) leveraging smart data layers and connecting the cyber and physical production streams on one platform could unlock the true potential that Industry 4.0 has to offer.

The industrial metaverse helps bring existing and new technologies together with the aim to deliver immediate value and manufacturers like e.GO are at the forefront of driving this paradigm shift. 

Microsoft and e.GO will demonstrate the digital loop of the industrial metaverse through several showcases at this year’s Hannover Messe. Together, the two companies will show what onboarding processes for production workers can look like and how artificial intelligence contributes to faster and more convenient service for customers. The HoloLens demo with e.GO’s innovative urban electric-vehicle e.wave X is a holistic view on the digital loop within the industrial metaverse (design, build, operate, optimize). Artificial intelligence and related 3D software are used to intelligently link the real world with the virtual world.

“This new technological wave is the foundation for the industrial metaverse. We at e.GO are truly excited to be at the forefront of this industrial transformation and to be able contribute to building a more sustainable production ecosystem and the factories of the future”, said Ali Vezvaei, Chairman of the Board of Next.e.GO Mobile SE.

Faced with supply chain issues, human capital constraints, energy restrictions and supply chain uncertainties, organizations are increasingly looking to better understand, predict, and interact with the physical world. 

Microsoft and e.GO believe technology can help manufacturers bridge the two worlds to fundamentally change how we design and build products, production systems and also operate facilities and optimize processes. Technology derivatives such as digital twins, mixed reality, cloud to edge, machine learning, and AI allow manufacturers to simulate complex processes and factories, changing how work is done and sustained. 

Across the Microsoft booth, Hannover Messe visitors can experience these enabling technologies in action.

After fulfilling reservation orders, the e.GO sales configurator will then become available to the public as of 01st of December 2022. All details on technical data, options and special equipment and prices are available in the product catalogues and the configurator.

e.GO also announces the introduction of a new compact commercial last mile urban delivery electric vehicle,**the e.Xpress** at the Paris Auto Show, designed to address the growing demand for zero-emission urban deliveries and commercial fleet. The e.Xpress aims to address the main focus areas for the commercial fleet managers including uptime, charging speed and residual value by offering a unique and universal battery swap solution that is intended to be as fast and as convenient as fueling old vehicles. The solution is a result of a **strategic cooperation between e.GO and Ample** – an American technology and energy solution provider that uses autonomous robotics and modular battery structure to enhance energy delivery for electric transportation. 

The e.Xpress comes with a durable polymeric skin intended to reduce the lifecycle repair cost and time.

It will be available with the exchangeable battery and depending on the selected configuration is expected to offer an urban range of up to 230 km and a battery exchange time of just few minutes. It will be offered to customers, businesses and fleet operators both with the battery being included in their purchase or alternatively with a subscription model, where the customer does not need to purchase the battery instead subscribed to the energy delivery and utilization. Start of reservations for the e.Xpress are  scheduled for 02nd of November 2022.

In addition, e.GO announces the start of a **strategic cooperation with OneFor** - an innovative German Fintech company focusing on consumer digital finance and payments - with the aim to provide customers with access to instant personal car loans of up to EUR 25,000 (1).

This is why we leverage innovation and technology to empower people along their sustainable journey. Offering an urban EV with a charging solution that is as fast and as convenient as traditional fueling, yet not as heavy on the planet’s limited resources or the energy infrastructure, or providing customers with access to innovative financial solutions that can empower their sustainable mobility choice are reflections of that commitment." explains Ali Vezvaei, Chairman of the Board of e.GO.
