ELECTRIC DRIVE & POWER

There’s more we can do with electric vehicles and solar power

Introducting the
ECARUS UTILITY VEHICLE

Prototype (Generarion 2, 2024)
UV Model Design is under development

  • 6x6 utility vehicle built for extremely challenging terrain

  • Fully electric 800V direct drive

  • Bi-directional power system with a 22kW AC onboard generator

  • Solar self-charge options

  • Sustainable circular production

DRIVE. POWER. SUSTAIN.

ALL THE POWER.

NONE OF THE EMISSIONS.

DRIVE

Next generation electric drive (800 V)

A highly efficient motor delivers instant torque.

Our proprietary system turns seemingly unlimited power into full control at high and low speeds.

An 800 V architecture allows for high performance driving, generating and fast-charge.

The ecarus electric drive (EDP) is applied to an rugged 6x6 chassis with all wheel drive, 3 lockable differentials and pendulum portal axles. By developing adaptations and a circular economy production process, an electric
Rolling Chassis is created with military-grade Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer components

Tried and tested all over the world for over 50 years in the most extreme environments, it is time for its next adventure.

The result is a winning combination:

A new level of offroad capability,
without emissions.

POWER

GIVE and TAKE.

This vehicle TAKES electricity to charge up like any other EV.

It also GIVES electricity wherever it is needed.

BI-DIRECTIONAL CHARGING

Use ECARUS UV as a mobile energy storage unit for your home solar system.

The solar roof charges at all times, driving or parked.

Depending on your model, you can opt for an on-board solar plant, powerful enough to re-charge in a day, making you independent of roads and electricity grids altogether.

SUSTAIN

A product is only sustainable,
when both its use AND production are.

At ECARUS, we intend to achieve this through:

  • Highly efficient electric motors
    Zero emissions while driving or generating power

  • Renewable energy
    Zero embedded emissions

  • Circular production
    Minimal resource footprint and emissions

The CIRCULAR FACTORY we are building in Austria aims to establish a sustainable production of utility vehicles without a carbon footprint.

All our motors have over 90% efficiency.

In combination with the use of revitalised components and 100% renewable energy, our second-life mindset enables a circular production method.

We put local value-adds centre stage and strive to be an inclusive, diverse workplace.
