People are making huge lifestyle changes by switching to electric vehicles from fuel-driven vehicles. The awareness of increasing global warming, rapid fluctuations in climatic changes, the onset of more and more natural disasters, increasing greenhouse gases and pollution, rise in temperatures, etcetera are all some of the environmental detriments that we are all seeing nowadays. Our Earth is fading away slowly. But fortunately, the innovative thinkers and doers of our world, are making changes and encouraging us to drive toward sustainability initiatives. A little can go a long way. If everyone could do their part, it can be estimated that in a few years, the Earth will gradually begin sowing visual signs of healing and getting its greenery and breath back. If the Earth is healthy, so will we.
In the manufacturing industry, there have been many innovations that have been created and designed specifically to battle one or more environmental concerns. As of late, e-mobility is on the rise. The shift to many electric-powered vehicles is increasing and many automotive manufacturers are designing and building vehicles accordingly to suit and fit their needs and purposes. To walk forward while instilling eco-friendly practices, many companies, businesses, and organizations are pushing for sustainability initiatives and ESG principles and values.
Therefore in this article, we will be covering a Germany-based automotive and manufacturing company and business named – EVUM Motors, which was co-founded by Martin Šoltés and Sascha Koberstaedt. This Bavarian vehicle manufacturer which was founded in the year 2017, is a compact, all-electric, and all-wheel drive that is designed specifically as Electric Utility Vehicles (EUVs) for a “ new kind of commercial vehicle”.
About the Trailblazing Co-Founders of EVUM Motors:
The two brains behind the operations who founded a sustainable transportation company – EVUM Motors are – Dr. Martin Šoltés and Sascha Koberstaedt. Initially being just a research project at the Technical University of Munich, the co-founders saw a bright future with this idea and did not want to stop just yet.
“Shaping the future of eMobility and eWork” – EVUM Motors.
Martin and Sascha were the project leaders when they brought the idea behind EVUM Motors into existence. Their sole mission after the research project was to “industrialize the research project”. Driving toward sustainability initiatives and affordability by all people, the co-founders have designed and manufactured EVUM Motors in a way that electrification of primary vehicles will lay the groundwork for the future of our Earth. Keeping this in mind, EVUM Motors has designed and manufactured “aCAR”.
“EVUM Motors’ aCAR is – the smart transport solution for optimal productivity and effortless work life on four powerful wheels.”
Dr. Martin Šoltés – the Co-founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Managing Director at EVUM Motors, has a Diploma in Aerospace Engineering, Aeronautics-Space Technology from the University of Stuttgart. Having vast experience and knowledge from studying in this field, Martin went on to work in several diverse roles and positions in many companies, such as – an Internship at Porsche, Local Committee President at AIESEC, Tutor for Higher Mathematics at the University of Stuttgart where he is an alumnus at, attended and submitted his Final Thesis at Bosch, and a Project Leader and Research Associate at the Technical University of Munich. This last place of work and learning is where the idea for EVUM Motors was brought to fruition with his partner and colleague – Sascha Koberstaedt, through an idea as part of a research project.
Sascha Koberstaedt – the Co-founder and Co-CEO at EVUM Motors, has a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering and Automotive Engineering from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and received a Doctor’s Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. This led Sascha to work for job opportunities such as – a Tutor at the Institute for Product Development, as a Working Student at IAVF Antriebstechnik, attending an Internship and a Diploma at BMW Group, and lastly Dr. Martin’s Research Project Partner and Associate at the University of Munich. Thereafter, both colleagues continued on their mission to “industrialize the research project”.
