While the first deliveries of the Sono Sion are expected at the end of the year, it is time to discover the interior of the electric and solar minivan that incorporates an air filtration system using a natural foam.
The Munich-based manufacturer Sono Motors specializes in solar electric vehicles. His minivan Sion will include 248 solar cells integrated into his body. After presenting the exterior, the firm published a snapshot of the interior of this eco-friendly city car.
According to Sono Motors, the foam in the cabin is designed to filter the air and improve its quality. In addition to displaying a beautiful green color, this foam has been treated to not require any particular maintenance. It helps to regulate moisture and filter the air inside the vehicle. Above this foam, there is a 10-inch digital display, but the company has not yet unveiled the technology that this model will ship.
There you go!
Less is more. Your interior. Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
