The Latvian built OSCar eO has become the first range-extended electric-drive vehicle to complete the Dakar rally, an 8400 km long gruelling challenge through Argentina, Chile and Peru. The two week rally is arguably the toughest motorsport event in the world with less than half of the starters making it to the finish podium in Lima. By being among them, OSCar eO demonstrated previously unseen capabilities and durability of electric drive technologies. Read more »

OSCar eO podraide, 2. sērija: Clean Week 2020

2011. gada 6. un 7. maijā OSCar eO komandas „mazais sastāvs″ viesojās Zolderas autotrasē Beļģijā, kur risinājās pasākums „Clean Week 2020”, kas vienuviet pulcēja bezizmešu transporta entuziastus un profesionāļus no visas Eiropas. Sēdāmies pie stūres vairākiem no visjaunākajiem elektro automobiļiem un izbraucām apli pa Zolderas trasi. Tā kā ar elektroauto braucām pirmo reizi, tad iespaidi un secinājumi bija ļoti vērtīgi un noteikti palīdzēs arī OSCar eO būvē.

Apskatījām un izpētījām visdažādākos elektriskās piedziņas velosipēdus, trīsriteņus, pasta mašīnas, pārbūvētus ielas auto un arī šosejas sporta auto, ko būvējis uzņēmums eWolf uz angļu Radical sporta auto bāzes.
