Munich, 13 June 2018.<\/strong>\u00a0Automotive Solutions Germany (ASG), member of Expleo, and automotive lighting solutions specialist, will support\u00a0Sono Motors<\/a>\u00a0by developing the exterior lighting of its\u00a0Sion\u00a0<\/em>electrical solar car, the first series vehicle capable of recharging its battery from the sun.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Expleo will handle the\u00a0design\u00a0and preparation for series production of the entire exterior lighting of the Sion, from headlights and rear lights to high-mounted brake lights. A joint team bringing together experts from both Expleo and Sono Motors will develop a customised solution combining the enduring but lightweight LED-technology with cost-effective reflector-light systems.<\/p>

\u201cWe are excited to cooperate with Sono Motors on this innovation project. We will be integrating cutting-edge lightweight lighting technology into the functional design of the car, in a way that meets both cost control and sustainability requirements of the Sion project,\u201d explains Expleo Managing Director Andreas Spiegelberger.<\/p>

\u201cWe are excited to team up with Expleo. As an experienced automotive lighting specialist, Expleo will be a strong development and\u00a0production\u00a0partner for the LED-technology equipment of the\u00a0Sion<\/em>\u201c, adds Jona Christians,CEO of Sono Motors.<\/p>

The\u00a0Sion\u00a0<\/em>is the first series car to use solar panels on the chassis to recharge its battery. The integrated solar cells ensure that \u2013 depending on driving performance and insolation \u2013 a large part ofthe required energy comes from an entirely renewable source: the sun. The objective is to get the\u00a0Sion\u00a0<\/em>on the road in the second half of 2019 for\u20ac 16,000 (excluding the battery).<\/p>
