What If A Single Electric Car Could Transform Into A Pickup, Delivery Van, And A Motorhome? It Was Thinking About This That Eletric Brands Developed The Xbus, A Vehicle With An Incredible Torque That Will Reach The Market Next Year

The German company, Eletric Brands, will bring out in 2022 its new launch, the XBus, an electric car that stands out for its modular body options. The vehicle is an electric microvan project that combines versatility in a small space and propulsion that does not excite with power but offers high torque. The vehicle can transform into a pickup truck, a delivery van, and even a motorhome.

According to the company, the Xbus follows the Lego principle, allowing consumers to vary the body configurations without needing special tools and as many times as they want, making it possible to use the same Xbus as a pickup, motorhome, or cargo or passenger van.

When equipped with a motorhome, the Xbus features a bed for two adults, a minibar, a kitchen with a sink, and an induction stove. Consumers will also have the option to equip the electric car with an off-road package, which includes a wider track and elevated suspension.

The vehicle, which can transform into a pickup, van, or motorhome, measures 3.64 m in length, 1.60 m in width, 1.94 m in height, and will operate in various segments of the European market due to the capacities presented earlier. Similar to the Renault Twizy, for example, the Xbus will act as a quadricycle, capable of carrying a load of 450 to 600 kg.

Its total weight is less than 600 kg, helping to classify it in this category. In the category of vehicles with a cargo limit of up to 1,000 kg, the vehicle capable of transforming into a pickup or van can travel at the same speeds as other cars, using four electric motors installed in the wheel hubs to make this possible.

A Torque To Make Large Pickups Jealous

The electric car has only 20 horsepower, with a peak power of 75 hp, but what distinguishes the model that can transform into a van or motorhome is its torque, which exceeds 101.6 kgfm and is impressive compared to large pickups.

To give you an idea, the RAM 2500 Laramie has 110.7 kgfm. The Xbus is also equipped with a 10 kWh battery, providing the vehicle with a range of 200 km; however, the responsible company states that there will be a version with a 30 kWh battery and a range of 600 km.

To excel in areas with little or no pavement, the vehicle features all-terrain tires and all-wheel drive. The interior of the vehicle stands out with a steering wheel that has buttons for the horn and a small display serving as a cluster.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Egypt built an entire capital from scratch in the middle of the desert, with the tallest tower in Africa and the largest cathedral in the Middle East, to relieve Cairo of the burden of more than twenty million people.

The end of Japan? Population is disappearing, country loses more than 3 million inhabitants in just five years and birth rate falls for the tenth consecutive year, raising alarm about demographic collapse and lack of workers.

China surprises the world by inaugurating a new era: the country will create a “digital ID” for 28,000 humanoid robots from 100 manufacturers, while machines capable of cooking, doing laundry, and caring for the elderly begin free domestic testing in 2027.

The world’s smartest ring is now 40% smaller, measures blood pressure signals during sleep, monitors over 50 health metrics, has a battery life of up to 9 days, and features enhanced sensors for more accurate readings on any skin tone.

Forget the Toyota Hilux: with a 2.0 turbo engine and 475 hp, the new BYD Shark Performance tows 3,500 kg, accelerates in 5.5 seconds, and addresses historical criticism, but loses load capacity and surprises even medium pickup truck owners.
