Swedish auto firm unveils first electric car

Swedish auto startup Uniti has unveiled its first electric model - the Uniti One.

The vehicle is designed to set new standards in sustainability, safety and convenience and is priced at just under €19,900.

Held at the company’s production facility in Landskrona, Uniti’s first annual launch event offered a peek of the capabilities of Uniti One in front of 2,000 people.

Audience members were given a hands-on preview of the vehicle’s features, such as its energy efficiency, with a predicted range of around 186 miles.

The firm claims that the One will produce 75 per cent less CO2 over its lifetime than a conventional vehicle.

Lewis Horne, CEO of Uniti, commented: “We are pleased to share our progress and demonstrate our vision for future mobility as we move towards mass production.”
