One of the main features of this year’s Automechanika show in Frankfurt is the “Mobility of the Future” display which, in addition to a variety of e-vehicles from over 12 countries will encompass the latest developments in a variety of fields including storage technology, charging infrastructure, engines, electronics, lightweight construction and alternative fuels.

Apart from some of the main stream vehicle manufacturers such as Opel and Mitsubishi showcasing their hybrid and electric vehicles a few of the highlighted exhibitors include:

Market-leader Prins Autogassysteme, winner of the Automechanika Innovation Award and Green Directory Award 2012, will show the latest solutions for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and natural gas (CNG and LNG) and, together with its partners, present solutions for direct-injection petrol engines tested and available in Germany.

Vehicle converter and e-mobility pioneer Karabag is set to present its ReeVOLT Transformation Kit, which enables any workshop to convert conventional vehicles to electric power without difficulty. Comprising an electric motor, control system, battery pack and independent heating system, the conversion kit is suitable for cars, transporters and even classic cars. This will be demonstrated by the e-Beetle, the Karabag New500e based on a Fiat 500, which was launched this year, and a Fiat Transporter.
