The Horlacher Saxikurier is a specially developed short range vehicle which serves to transprt persons or goods in cities and suburbs or which can be used for general short distance applivcations.
Because of its small dimensions and its manoeuvrability parking is made extremely easy; it is even possible to park straight to the curb.
Its interior height of 165cm as well as its large two part rear door allow comfortable access and makes it suitable for persons with wheel chairs.
The present version has been designed for one driver and four passengers, the modular body design however offering the possibility to be extended and to carry up to eight persons.
Pure electric but also hybrid-electric are the drivetrain options which can be adapted to the specific requirements of the operator.
The present Saxikurier prototype is powered by an electric drivetrain and is presently used for test and presentation purposes.
