AEHRA unveils SLEEK all-electric, four door GT simply called ‘The Sedan,’ targeting 500 mile range
Italian premium EV startup AEHRA continues to garner a demand for attention with its latest model reveal – The Sedan. Bold choice to choose not to name your EV models, but AEHRA has some confidence going into today’s reveal, showcasing a new model designed by former leads at Lamborghini and Ferrari. After seeing a full glimpse of The Sedan, we are starting to take notice ourselves.
If you haven’t heard of AEHRA, we don’t blame you. The Italian EV startup emerged last summer with a vision of combining Italian design elegance and engineering with American customer service to deliver a new breed of ultra-premium EVs.
This vision parallels the background of cofounder and CEO, Hazim Nada, who was born in the US and raised in Italy. From the get go, AEHRA has expressed an initial focus on design shapes and architectures as Nada has previously said he believes most EVs today are still being engineered with legacy design in mind, and that automakers aren’t utilizing the full capabilities today’s electric powertrains enable.
Sure, specs like horsepower and range are still very important (more on that below), but AEHRA is hoping to redefine the definition of how EVs look and are experienced, beginning with two initial models. It’s first EV, The SUV, made its public debut this past December, but still left the startup flying a bit under the industry’s radar (EV startups showcasing concepts are a dime a dozen after all).
That being said, AEHRA is taking a fresh approach to both the way it designs and promotes its EVs – a lineup that is now joined by The Sedan. The company teased some images of its second model in late May, but the sharply designed GT saloon made its official debut in Italy today. Check it out.
AEHRA sedan makes official debut at Monza Motor Show
Today in front of a crowd at the Milano Monza Moving Motor Show in Italy, AEHRA pulled the sheet off its second EV model – The Sedan.
It has the fingerprints of AEHRA’s head of design Filippo Perini all over it. Before jumping ship to AEHRA, Perini was the lead designer at Lamborghini and oversaw the fruition of several legendary models, including the Murciélago LP 640, Aventador, Huracan, Centenario, and Urus. The design lead is also supported by chief engineering officer Franco Climatti, who brings 32 years of experience working at Ferrari.
With an arsenal of supercar designers at the helm, it’s easy to see how AEHRA was able to create such unique and streamlined looking EVs so quickly. As we’ve mentioned before, AEHRA likes to point out the “beautiful flowing lines and exceptionally strong organic, muscular proportions” of The Sedan and sums up its side profile perfectly as “almost liquid-like.” Perini was as bold as to describe AEHRA’s new electric saloon as “the antithesis of baroque design culture.”
If it ain’t baroque…
The Sedan will follow The SUV on the same mono-body platform and its expected to come equipped with three all-electric motors combining for 794 bhp. Like its SUV sibling, AEHRA’s sedan will feature a 120kWh battery built by Miba out of Austria, offering charge rates up to 350kW and bi-directional capabilities. AEHRA says it is targeting a range of 497 miles per charge on The Sedan.
As you’ll notice in the images above, The Sedan features quadruple falcon-wing doors, which may end up sticking as the signature look of all AEHRA EVs. That image in particular is our only glimpse at The Sedan’s interior so far, but we’d expect the second model to house similar components as the SUV, such as an infotainment screen the length of the entire dash that can extend into “home theatre mode” when parked.
While The Sedan remains a concept for now, AEHRA has assured the public that the production version will look virtually identical when it arrives in 2026 alongside The SUV. Per CEO Hazim Nada:
Engineered and manufactured using only the very best technology, materials and methodologies the global automotive industry has to offer, both the AEHRA SUV and AEHRA Sedan are driven by a purity of function and will usher in a new era of ultra-premium, exquisitely beautiful emission-free mobility.
As a startup, AEHRA has expressed it has “substantial funding in place” to get its first two EVs into scaled production and has already shared intentions to roll out in markets of North America, Europe, China, and the Gulf States in 2026. We’ll see…
Electrek’s Take
AEHRA has been on my radar for quite sometime now, but this is my first time writing about them because its the first time, in my opinion, they’re starting to show EV tech that could maybe… one day… be real.
Their initial emails and press releases were promising these grandiose designs and performance, but with nothing to show but a silhouette. Forgive me for passing on that way back when, but you and I both know better than to waste your time chasing “what-ifs” in the EV startup world.
I’m admittedly impressed by The Sedan, although I think the name is pompous and will get confusing if AEHRA actually has a run in producing multiple EV models. Let’s get to production on these first two EVs, then talk.
The design expertise of the company’s hypercar veterans is apparent on this thing. It looks slightly bloated to me from the front and sort of gives me FF91 vibes, but I love that side profile and the rounded upper rear. I’m interested to hear its drag coefficient or whether the design team simply said, “screw it, just make it look cool.” I’d imagine its pretty aerodynamic, though, especially if AEHRA has any hope of even sniffing near the 497 mile range it’s targeting.
The startup appears to be taking a Fisker Inc. approach in which it takes its powertrain components á la carte and integrates them into a modular platform, leaving production to a contracted expert. That’s probably the wisest approach as AEHRA seems to be very design-centric, so let that team do what it does best and leave the actual scaling to the professionals.
I’m still pretty skeptical, just less skeptical. This will be a company to watch either way.

Following approval from Transport Canada, EV startup Workhorse will be bringing the W56 and W750 model electric delivery vans to commercial truck dealers in Canada as early as this spring.
Workhorse first showed its W56 medium-duty electric truck at Indiana’s Work Truck Week in 2023, and has sold the trucks to logistics and delivery companies like FedEx and Pride Group – which ordered more than six thousand of the electric vans in 2021, and continues to expand its fleet.
“This is a major step forward for Workhorse,” says Josh Anderson, Workhorse’s chief technology officer in a press statement. “Pre-clearance from Transport Canada opens up a large new market for our products throughout Canada, including with fleets that operate across borders in North America.”
As part of the approval process, Workhorse completed its registration as a foreign manufacturer under Transport Canada’s Appendix G clearance program. Transport Canada confirmed the vans’ compliance with Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (CMVSS) for both vehicles – but it remains to be seen if and how the latest tariff-driven trade war between the Trump Administration’s US and Canada will impact Workhorse’s plans to expand throughout North America.
Despite that uncertainty, Workhorse execs remain upbeat. “We’re excited that our electric step vans can now reach Canadian roads and highways, providing reliable, zero-emission solutions that customers can depend on,” added Anderson.
Canadian pricing has yet to be announced.
Electrek’s Take
There’s no other way to say it: the Trump/Musk co-presidency is disrupting a lot of companies’ plans – and that’s especially true across North American borders. But in all this chaos and turmoil there undoubtedly lies opportunity, and it will be interesting to see who ends up on top.

![Liebherr developing giant, 140-ton Segway-style autonomous haulers [video]](https://i0.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/03/operational-area-earth-moving-copy.jpg?resize=1200,628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1)
The new Liebherr S1 Vision 140-ton hauler is unlike any heavy haul truck currently on the market – primarily because the giant, self-propelled, single-axle autonomous bucket doesn’t look anything like any truck you’ve ever seen.
Liebherr says its latest heavy equipment concept was born from a desire to rethink truck design with a focus only on core functions. The resulting S1 Vision is primarily just a single axle with two powerful electric motors sending power to a pair of massive airless tires designed carry loads up to 131 tonnes (just over 140 tons).
The design enables rapid maintenance, as important components easily accessible for quick servicing. Wear parts can be replaced efficiently, and the electric drive significantly reduces maintenance work. This helps to minimise downtimes and increases operational efficiency.
LIEBHERR
Because of its versatility, durability, and ability to perform zero-turn maneuvers that other equipment simply can’t, the Liebherr S1 Vision can be adapted for various applications, including earthmoving, mining, and even agriculture. There’s also a nonzero chance of this technology finding applications supporting other on-site equipment through charging or fuel delivery.
The S1 accomplishes that trick safely with the help of an automatic load leveling system that ensures maximum stability, even on bumpy or rough terrain. The company says this technology significantly reduces the risk of tipping while providing smooth and secure operation across various environments.
Liebherr will show the S1 Vision at this year’s bauma equipment exhibition in Munich, Germany. The design has already been nominated for the bauma Innovation Award in the Mechanical Engineering category – and my money’s on it winning.
Electrek’s Take
This is such goofy, stupid fun that if it was wheelbarrow-sized I’d have three of them. I can’t imagine the insanity of watching one of these things roll across a job site with 100 tons of granite in the bucket – and will have nightmares about the kind of damage it could do if it flipped out like a poorly made Chinese hoverboard clone whipping a toddler across a living room … which, in fairness, would probably get a billion views on Instagram or TikTok or whatever.
I can’t wait.

The HD arm of Hyundai has just released the first official images of the new, battery-electric HX19e mini excavator – the first ever production electric excavator from the global South Korean manufacturer.
The HX19e will be the first all-electric asset to enter series production at Hyundai Construction Equipment, with manufacturing set to begin this April.
The new HX19e will be offered with either a 32 kWh or 40 kWh li-ion battery pack – which, according to Hyundai, is nearly double the capacity offered by its nearest competitor (pretty sure that’s not correct –Ed.). The 40kWh battery allows for up to 6 hours and 40 minutes of continuous operation between charges, with a break time top-up on delivering full shift usability.
Those batteries send power to a 13 kW (17.5 hp) electric motor that drives an open-center hydraulic system. Hyundai claims the system delivers job site performance that is at least equal to, if not better than, that of its diesel-powered HX19A mini excavator.
To that end, the Hyundai XH19e offers the same 16 kN bucket breakout force and a slightly higher 9.4 kN (just over 2100 lb-ft) dipper arm breakout force. The maximum digging depth is 7.6 feet, and the maximum digging reach is 12.9 feet. Hyundai will offer the new electric excavator with just four selectable options:
- enclosed cab vs. open canopy
- 32 or 40 kWh battery capacity
All HX19es will ship with a high standard specification that includes safety valves on the main boom, dipper arm, and dozer blade hydraulic cylinders, as well as two-way auxiliary hydraulic piping allows the machine to be used with a range of commercially available implements. The hydraulics needed to operate a quick coupler, LED booms lights, rotating beacons, an MP3 radio with USB connectivity, and an operator’s seat with mechanical suspension are also standard.
Like its counterparts at Volvo CE, the new Hyundai excavator uses automotive-style charging ports to take advantage of existing infrastructure at fleet depots and public charging stations. More detailed specifications, dimensions, and pricing should be announced by bauma.
Electrek’s Take
The ability to operate indoors, underground, or in environments like zoos and hospitals were keeping noise levels down is of critical importance to the success of an operation makes electric equipment assets like these coming from Hyundai a must-have for fleet operators and construction crews that hope to remain competitive in the face of ever-increasing noise regulations. The fact that these are cleaner, safer, and cheaper to operate is just icing on that cake.
