3 Motivation for the et! project Advantage of light commercial vehicles with purely electric drive for operation in city centres User research indicates that Frequent (up to 200) stops and starts occur during city-centre operation; IC engines which consume about 5 litres per 100 km in the NEDC require up to 25 litres fuel per 100 km in city-centre distribution service; Daily driving distance is less than 100 km; Regular parking places, e.g. in company yards, are ideal for charging infrastructure; and Long periods of overnight parking provide ample charging time.

4 Motivation for the et! project Project goals for the subsidised project Construction of a light commercial vehicle for city centres as demonstrator for driving experience Purely electric drive Small footprint Main focus on distribution and postal services Registration for use on public roads -

5 Structure of the et! project Project partners: Headed by Volkswagen Group Research Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, partner Braunschweig University of Art

6 Electric drive system of the et! Electric drive system Two wheel-hub motors on rear axle Output: 35 kw each Torque: 500 Nm each NEDC range approx. 100 km Battery Lithium-ion Energy content: 32.1 kwh Output: 95 kw Weight: 480 kg Charge time 4 h

7 Easy access Frame Extruded aluminium profiles Demanding requirements for ergonomics Maximum cargo capacity Demanding requirements for vehicle safety B-pillar located in middle of vehicle Optimal access to perch seat (entry height: 315 mm) Convenient access to cargo area Dimensions Length: 4,090 mm Width: 1,850 mm Height: 1,980 mm Wheelbase: 2,780 mm

8 Doormatic Sliding door, position 1: Fast opening, closing time under 3 seconds Comfortable entry and exit Open-door driving Low space requirement Sliding door, position 2: Front section retracts into it Large access opening of 1.61 metres Small body dimensions when open (mirrorto-mirror width)

9 Doormatic Function Door can open when approached. Partial or complete opening remote via iphone or directly using door opener on vehicle. Advantage Saves time.

10 Follow Me Function et! follows immediately behind the deliverer along the side of the street. The deliverer activates the Follow-Me function via an iphone and retains the responsibility in semiautomatic driving mode. Semi-automatic driving mode is possible up to 6 km/h. Stops automatically at obstacles. Advantage Entering and exiting is no longer necessary for short distances.

11 Come To Me! Function The deliverer can park vehicle on the side of the street and make deliveries to other houses. The deliverer can call the vehicle to him or her semiautomatically from a distance of up to 30 metres. The deliverer activates the Come-to-Me! function via an iphone and retains the responsibility in the semiautomatic driving mode. Semi-automatic driving mode is possible up to 6 km/h. Stops automatically at obstacles.

12 Drive Stick Function The deliverer can drive the vehicle from the perch seat on the passenger side. The two-part sliding door can remain open at the first position. Driving mode is possible up to 6 km/h.

13 Drive Stick Advantage Optimisation of operation by the deliverer. Comfortable entry and exit. Short distances save time.

14 Pro*Turn Function Steering lock at 65 Turning circle of 8.50 metres Advantage Manoeuvrability even in the tightest situations in city centres

15 ipad & iphone Function Control of various functions of the et! including Doormatic, Follow Me, Come to Me! and rain roof Route planning Delivery instructions for the deliverer Advantage Process optimisation for the deliverer Eliminates long break-in periods for new deliverers.

16 ipad & iphone Function Information concerning order and customer Details concerning package such as last name, special instructions for delivery, etc. Picture of doorbell button cluster and marking of customer s button Advantage Reduce time for searching for doorbell button and getting information.
