We are a Czech designing and developing company and we have developed in cooperation with the Technical University an atractive Small Electric Vehicle of category L/6/L7 for the city transportation. Vehicles are designed for manufacturing in micro-factories close to consumer markets, to optimize logistics & increase the efficiency of supply chains.
We have designed tools for its low-cost production. We are convinced that Small Electric Vehicles are the optimal solution of individual city transpot and we bring a chance to participate on this growing market while the sale of vehicles with the internal combustion will be reduced. We offer to a competent and forward-looking entities planning to develop an international business a Licence to produce Small City Electromobile according to our know-how.
We presume that this project may draw your attention because it saves money and time than starting from zero.
The development of the present model took about 4 years, the prototype of delivery van is about 90 – 95 % finished (Technology readiness level 6 – 7), hatch back is 70 % finished but still needs more testing (like this one:
Because the vehicle is designed for easy production (minimum parts, vacuum pressing, easy assembly….) it is possible to make feasible production in small production units which can be later increased. In order to be profitable in this business you do not need to sell 10 000 or 100 000 vehicles but hundreds are sufficient. Demands of the market predict stable growth.
In order to produce our Small Electric Vehicles you would need:
1/ Licence (know-how)
at EUR 0,5– 1,7 millions according to the extend (population) of the territory of exclusive rights.
2/ The technology - machines of required production capacity (following is preliminary estimated cost):
The final price will be calculated based on the discussion and specification of the technology.
- Why Licence?
An Assignee gets the rights to produce the vehicles according to our design and know-how, make the modifications, development, and improvement, and sell them all over the teritory of exclusive selling rights, a unique opportunity to control a whole process of perspective and lucrative business at a much lower cost than a starting from zero. In order to promote a prompt deal a complete know-how including some tools (MDF molds, 5-axis CNC edge cutting program, and jigs for body production) is available at only EUR 0,5 – 1,7 millions according to the extend of territory of exclusive rights.
The big carmakers who until recently did not show interest in the small city vehicles also start to realize the business opportunity of this category, and even unite their powers (Toyota, Suzuki, Daihatsu) in order not to miss the boat. Development usually takes about 3 - 6 years but the cards are dealt now. After 5 years it might be late therefore we have prepared an extensive discout to promote a prompt deal.
The basic version of the vehicle is equipped only with the items necessary for driving and safety. For an easy and cheap production the body is made from a light, firm and cheap thermoplast, a light self-supporting chassis is made from specially designed aluminium profiles. Due to the atypical slantwise allocation of seats, the length of the vehicle is only 2 500 mm which enables the perpendicularkerbside parking which is so demanded by carriers and delivery services.
The Small Electric Vehicle (hatchback) for 2 persons features an atemporal modern body with unusually large car trunk (430 liters) for such a small vehicle. The delivery van derived from this version has a cargo compartment 900 liters (please compare with microcars Twizzy or Biro).
After dismounting the cargo compartment it is possible to connect a unique trailer which is equipped with its own batteries, 2 motors and photovoltaic panels for charging the batteries after putting the trailer out of operation and roving with the solo vehicle in the surroundings. An adjustable driving range of 80 - 160 km with 8 or 16 kWh battery is sufficient because the vehicle is destinated for using only in the cities. According to the statistics a typical city carrier drives about 70 km daily and then he leaves the car in a guarded yard. The workmen, construction companies and small farmers have a similar driving range. For example, the German Post vehicles Streetscooter have a driving range 85 km. The operating cost of the small electric vehicles is very low. Average consumption of L6 vehicle is 50Wh/km which makes at the price of electricity 0,4 EUR/kWh cost EUR 2/100km.
2) The Technology – machines of production capacity (following is preliminary estimated cost, without the production hall):
Production capacity (in 3 shifts) | Technology investment -estimated | |
Vehicles/year | EUR | |
1 500 | 700 000 | |
3 000 | 1 200 000 | |
9 000 | 3 000 000 |
The final price will be calculated based on the discussion and specification of the technology.
The main machinery of the production line (of which capacity can be adjusted) are moulds, large dimension vaccuum presses, 5-axis CNC edge cutting machines, jigs for glueing and foaming of the parts of exterior and interior, foaming machines, automatic welding machines, assembly bench and tools. We can discuss the extend of the list of the machines (of which some technology, for example welding can be outsourced) . We can in-house produce many of machines needed and supply them, which considerably decrease the CAPEX.

Adaptation of technology to other markets
Combatra was incorporated in 1993 in Prague, the Czech Republic, as a limited liability company. Founded by Ing. Miloslav Kolomazník, the company specialized in constructing and renting of sailing ships. From the year 2013, the company assembled a team of technicians and designers, which together with the experts from the Technical University of Liberec started developing the small city electric car ELCA. After many years of research and development, Combatra now possesses the necessary know-how and technology for the manufacturing of the small electric vehicles. Currently, it is offering Technology transfer, raising funds and selling licences for an initial small-series manufacturing, after which the sale of vehicles will start.
