Fisker and Hakim Partner on EV Shuttles for Smart Cities
Fisker Inc., designer and manufacturer of electric vehicles with some of the longest EV ranges and breakthrough automotive technology, is entering an alliance with China-based conglomerate, Hakim Unique Group, to develop an autonomous EV shuttles for smart cities across the globe.
Here’s what they bring to the table:
- Hakim Unique Group’s conglomerate of more than 160 wholly owned or partly controlled companies has expertise in developing smart city infrastructure – with a comprehensive range of experts across government, universities, operators and enterprises. Plus, with full capabilities in consulting, advanced technical research, multi-mode operation, integration, implementation and operation – the company is positioned to influence the mobility needs, design and development of smart cities everywhere.
- Fisker Inc. – the brainchild of automotive design standout Henrik Fisker – has recently announced breakthrough developments on not just its own upcoming vehicles, including the Fisker EMotion luxury electric sedan, but in proprietary technologies that will change the face of the automotive industry and beyond. The company’s engineers, scientists and planners imagine connected cities that may benefit greatly from insight, expertise and aggressive R&D capabilities from a radically forward-thinking automotive company.
The first joint project will include the design, development and integration of Fisker, autonomous EV shuttles into a Hakim Unique-implemented smart city. ‘Fisker Orbit’ vehicles would benefit from Henrik Fisker’s futuristic design vision and the latest high technology ergonomic interior of the future.
Fisker will begin delivering the first Orbit electric autonomous shuttles by the end of 2018.
