Aptera Shares Design Update, Says It’s On Track To Start Production

Aptera is still looking for the funds necessary to begin production of its solar electric three-wheeler, which was shown in its production-intent form a few months back. The company recently shared an update on its vehicle in what it called the Delta phase and it also encouraged (more reliable) investors to consider putting their money into Aptera.

The startup will also hold a webinar in January hosted by the company’s founders, Chris Anthony and Steve Fambro, when it hopes to answer as many questions as possible, with the hope that this could boost both potential buyers’ and investors’ confidence.

Design work on the three-wheeler has not been finalized yet. Aptera’s engineers are now deciding on the final details of the vehicle’s structural components. These will be manufactured by the C.P.C. Group in Italy, after the two companies signed an agreement last month – the Italian composite specialist will create components that will then be fixed to the vehicle’s body panels, which will be made from Carbon Fiber Sheet Molding Compound (CF-SMC) and Glass Sheet Molding Compound (SMC), as explained in the video below.
