CES 2025 | Aptera Unveils Production-Intent Solar Electric Vehicle, Refined with Pininfarina’s Expertise.
13-01-2025 20:01 - EVENTS
Aptera Motors, a pioneer in solar mobility, is set to unveil its production-intent solar electric vehicle at CES 2025, developed with help from Pininfarina's aerodynamic expertise. Making solar-powered transportation possible, Aptera is poised to redefine the future of mobility, and Pininfarina is excited to support the company's innovative vision. The company's booth at CES 2025 will be located at CP-517 in the Central Plaza of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Aptera's groundbreaking solar electric vehicle, which requires no charging for most daily use, embodies the next step in energy-efficient mobility. Aptera's partnership with Pininfarina, a leader in design and aerodynamics, has provided valuable insights into achieving the vehicle's revolutionary aerodynamic performance. Using Pininfarina's Wind Tunnel located in Turin, Italy, Aptera has refined its design to achieve one of the lowest drag coefficients of any production passenger vehicle, setting a new standard for energy efficiency in the automotive industry.
"Aptera has truly pushed the boundaries of what's possible in vehicle design and efficiency," said Giuseppe Bonollo, SVP Business Unit Mobility at Pininfarina. "We have always made aerodynamics an essential component in design at Pininfarina. We are therefore thrilled to have supported the aerodynamic validation of the Aptera vehicle with truly unique results."
Pininfarina's collaboration with Aptera began during the initial stages of the company's aerodynamic design validation and holds great promise for deeper technical contributions as the company approaches production.
At CES 2025, Aptera will showcase its production-intent vehicle to the public for the first time. Equipped with 700 watts of integrated solar cells, most drivers can enjoy daily use without ever needing to plug in to charge. The vehicle features up to 40 miles of solar-powered driving per day and the ability to travel up to 400 miles on a single charge.
"We are proud to have played a role in validating Aptera's aerodynamic design," said Alessandro Aquili, Head of Wind Tunnel at Pininfarina. "Aptera's commitment to innovation mirrors our own, and we are excited to support their vision for a future where every journey is powered by the sun. We look forward to expanding our collaboration as Aptera's production-intent vehicle progresses toward production."
Aptera will be located at CP-517 in the Central Plaza of the Las Vegas Convention Center during CES 2025, where attendees will have the opportunity to experience firsthand how Aptera's solar-powered vehicle is shaping the future of transportation.
