Future of Urban Mobility
The Schaeffler Bio-Hybrid is a pedal-assist light electric vehicle.
The Bio‑Hybrid stands for a new, contemporary form of personal urban mobility and means of transportation. Schaeffler coined the term “Bio-Hybrid” back in 2016 as a vision for urban mobility of the future. The four-wheeled light electric vehicle is scheduled to go into series production at the end of 2020.
The light electric vehicle is equipped with a roof and windscreen and is open at the sides. The Passenger version is a box body with a capacity of 1,500 litres while the pickup variant has an open cargo area.
