“ The key element that we ’ ve done away with is the long hood — we ’ ve shortened the overhangs and developed this monobody architecture . This is the key element ; AEHRA is redefining the shape of electric vehicles ,” says Nada .
“ By doing so , we ’ ve given a lot of character to the AEHRA SUV that you wouldn ’ t otherwise see in an electric vehicle . We ’ re also expanding the cabin space within the same volume of car , changing the customer experience .”
The three-metre-long stance of the SUV is one of its trademark attributes and , when combined with a significantly shorter front end , provides a substantial increase in space inside the car — enough space to comfortably fit four NBA players .
The luxury car with a sustainable conscience
Procurement is an important focal point of AEHRA ’ s efforts , as the company looks to reduce the number of bespoke components in the car — and even the car body itself .
The sustainable breakthrough can be seen in the monobody formation of the vehicle , which is made using sheet mould carbon ( a carbon fibre process that is essential to the company ’ s production plans ). From a material perspective , this is one of the highlights of the car . Using composite material means that the AEHRA SUV is not only made of recycled carbon fibre materials , but is also recyclable at the end of life .
