The autocycle is expected to be a stand-alone solution for today’s generation of drivers. It is the answer to a need for a more efficient and practical form of transportations because people still need to get around. The vehicle provides that new path in ways that has never been so different, so sexy, so fun, so practical, and smart too.
According to a company official statement, Elio Motors has already designed an engine with a rare blend of power and fuel efficiency that could have significant market potential beyond powering the Elio, which is how it officially calls its autocycle.
Linamar will use its global presence and access to international manufacturers in automotive marine and industrial markets to identify other uses for Elio’s engine and open up potential revenue for the independent American car manufacturer.
In collaboration with IAV, Elio has designed and developed an all-new 0.9-lter three-cylinder gasoline engine for its super efficient autocycle.
Linamar also welcomed the partnership with Elio Motors. Linda Hasenfratz, CEO of Linamar Corp, said that the alliance with Elio gives their company a great penetration into ultra-high mileage vehicles. She said that it gives Linamar a chance to sell the highly-efficient engine to a variety of markets and customers.
