This brand-new EV is set to define the future of this automobile developer’s alternative engine future. As the world continues to prioritize paving the way for a sustainable future, the automobile sector continues to advance its alternative engine offerings for consumers. With the reliance on fossil fuels and the internal combustion engine contributing towards harmful carbon emissions, which create irreparable climate change damage, the passenger vehicle continues to be redefined.
EVs are the future of the automobile world
As the threats of climate change continue to hang over the heads of consumers, individuals, and stakeholders alike, the transportation sector in particular has been pressured to transform and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The passenger vehicle world has fared well to the challenge, thanks to the advancement of alternative engine solutions.
The electric vehicle (EV) has skyrocketed thanks to the advancements in this technology. With battery engine technology reaching heights never thought possible, as well as production costs continuously on the rise, the EV is by far the most popular alternative engine solution favored by consumers, with automobile producers and developers recognising that it is no longer an option to take part in developing electric engine models.
It cannot be overstated enough the role that American electric vehicle developer Tesla has played in the success of EV adoption by consumers. Tesla was able to take the concept of EVs from being merely an environmental effort to representing advanced and futuristic foresight by a developer, as well as making them be considered luxury and desirable vehicles. With the advanced battery engine capabilities to back up their claims, Tesla pressured the automobile world to ‘go green,’ thanks to the incredible success of their EVs among consumers.
New concept EV released by this developer
Recently, luxury American automobile developer Cadillac dropped its portfolio of concept vehicles, and the options do not disappoint. The portfolio features a brand-new high-performance EV crossover, dubbed the Elevated Velocity. The concept vehicle is essentially showcasing what the future of the brand’s Cadillac V-Series models will look like.
Exciting features of the concept vehicle include:
- Gullwings
- 24-inch wheels
- 2+2 seating
- Off-road features, including ‘Sand Vision’ whereby the driver can see through sandstorms and full-width rear lights
- E-Velocity mode for intense on-road driving
- Terra mode for peak off-road performance
Cadillac’s current EV lineup available to consumers includes the Lyriq, its flagship EV and mid-size luxury SUV that first went on sale in 2022. Other models include the Celestiq, the Optiq, and the Escalade IQ. Riding on the coattails of Tesla’s success, luxury EVs continue to be developed and advanced by multiple automobile developers.
Other alternative options for a sustainable world
While the EV is the clear favorite by both automobile developers and consumers when it comes to alternative engine solutions, that has not stopped the development of other engines emerging in order to phase out the internal combustion engine. Hydrogen fuel-cell technology, in particular, has come out on top as a complement to EVs, with many developers advancing their alternative model lineups to include this technology.
While almost synonymous with Japanese automobile developers, such as Toyota, automobile companies around the world are embracing this technology as part of their long-term sustainability strategy. Developers who are currently underway on adding this technology to their alternative options include Hyperion Motors, which recently released details of their XP-1 vehicle, which generates 2,038 horsepower using a hydrogen fuel-cell system. While not yet available for purchase, the company has begun to accept orders from consumers, with the vehicle carrying a price tag of $2 million. It will be the first hydrogen fuel-cell sports car produced by an American automobile developer.
