eleMMent - the concept
The goal of our years of development has not only been to introduce a new line of luxury vehicles – but usher in a new era. This is done by a perfect masterpiece that sets itself apart at first sight. The eleMMent incorporates biomorphic shapes inspired by nature in a symbiotic relationship with design and function.

Partially based on the Colani design, the eleMMent offers reduced fuel consumption of up to 20% by its trendsetting aerodynamics, thus creating economic and ecologic harmony. Despite its eco-friendly values, the eleMMent is truly sportive with more than 500 hp, a unique carbon-fiber rear diffuser and double tube sport exhaust.



On top of that, the eleMMent offers a considerably higher safety rating than regular heavy vehicles due to the high compound strength of the glass fiber plastic cabin and the elevated seating position.

eleMMent -The Range
The different series of the eleMMent offer mobility tailored to your needs, from mobile home or vehicle for your favorite sporting events, to VIP shuttle and promotion vehicle. You will always be one step ahead with the eleMMent.

Even though it encompasses individuality without limits, the eleMMent does come standard with certain things: precise manufacturing from preeminent materials with a passion for details, component functions in a combination that have never been seen before on the market and light lacquering that allows your eleMMent to shine in the darkest night - a first in the automotive world.

Welcome to the new era in luxury vehicles.
