Astara micromobility and EVs in Germany on display at IAA Astara has a strong presence in the Germany market with two offices in Cologne and Frankfurt and a dedicated workforce of nearly 80 employees. The company has also built a robust distribution portfolio to include Isuzu, Maxus, SsangYong, and brands specialized in micromobility, Microlino and Silence. Micromobility for urban environments is just one of the trends that Astara has seen emerging in the mobility industry. To meet the growing demand, earlier this year, Astara added the renowned Swiss brand Micro to its distribution line-up in Germany, which has since expanded to the Spanish market. The inclusion of the innovative Microlino nanocar empowers Astara to provide an unparalleled future-proof and more sustainable solution for urban mobility. Attendees can experience the stylish micro vehicle at the Astara booth throughout the conference.
At IAA, Astara will also be debuting Silence vehicles for the German market after announcing the expansion of its strategic alliance with the brand to distribute its electric scooters and micromobility vehicles in Bavaria, Baden Württemberg, Hessen, and Hamburg. Silence, the electric vehicle line of Spanish brand ACCIONA, offers unique and innovative features with sustainability in mind, including the retractable battery system. The Silence S01/S02 scooter and the S04 ‘nanocar’, which both utilize this battery system, will be on display at the Astara booth.
In addition to Microlino and Silence, Astara will showcase a unique Maxus vehicle. Maxus, already renowned for its fully electric light commercial vehicles, recently launched the MIFA 9 premium people carrier. The MIFA 9 is a 100% electric MPV with a driving range of up to 595 km that offers unprecedented and innovative comfort features for the driver and 6 passengers, such as fully electric adjustable captain seats with a massage function, among others.
