Autos aus Saudi-Arabien: Mit dem Ceer Exobot proben die Saudis die Energiewende
Mit ihrem Öl befeuern sie zwar weltweit Fahrzeugflotten. Doch als Autonation war Saudi-Arabien bislang ein unbeschriebenes Blatt. Mit dem Ceer Exobot soll sich das ändern - ausgerechnet elektrisch.
Saudi Arabia is making waves in the automotive industry by introducing its first-ever electric car brand, Ceer. The nation, renowned for its oil reserves, showcased the Ceer Exobot at an event in Riyadh, signaling its commitment to the energy transition.
The Ceer Exobot is set to make its debut with two models: a coupe and an SUV, both over five meters long. These futuristic vehicles feature distinctive designs, such as side flaps and cockpit displays, evoking the look of a science fiction film. The cars also boast advanced technology from partners like Rimac, Hyundai, and Foxconn.
Each model is expected to come with multiple engines, initially capable of producing 625 kW (850 PS) and potentially reaching up to 820 kW (1,115 PS) in the future. Ceer claims the vehicles can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as little as 2.1 seconds, with a top speed of just over 200 km/h. The SUV is anticipated to have a range of 670 kilometers (560 kilometers for the coupe) on a full charge.
The battery, measuring 110 kWh, operates at 800 volts and can charge from 10 to 80 percent in half an hour. However, no pricing information has been disclosed yet, as the Exobots are currently set to launch only in Saudi Arabia and a few neighboring countries for the time being.
