“Spartita”, ‘little sister’ of “Sparta Nature”
Experienced in the development of supercars since end of the 60s in Germany, since 1975 in Andorra, and since 2011 in Morocco (Province de Tétouan), after our resumption end of 2014 of the old environmental and humanitarian German GTZ/GIZ pottery project in “Ifrane Ali” (Province de Tétouan, Northern Morocco) of 1995, and its successful termination in August 2023, as of September 2023, we developed for safer transport of butane gas bottles (by lowering the cargo area / centre of gravity) a modular lightweight construction system, initially to manufacture the usual "triporteurs" in Morocco. Due to the increased risk of overturning in this foothills region, we soon switched to the development of a four-wheel version. Because of the environmental reason of the old GTZ/GIZ project, the motor(s) should be electric, but this innovative construction system will work for small combustion engines, too. With the talented and competitive Moroccan labour force we can respond to specific customer requirements even from small series. Having developed first of all a cargo vehicle for markets like the African one, we then examined the market for light vehicles in Europe discovering the EU L7e (15 kW) approval regulations, for which we can offer unrivalled versions because of a still uncopied so innovative construction system :
This aluminium lightweight construction system is based on our trapezoid longitudinal tubular frame construction system (patented 1973 in Germany for “Hartung Sparta Nature”, and in other countries including the USA) via the roof construction of a vehicle in rollover bars, combined with a lower box frame and a certain kind of “monocoque”, resulting in an in-line-3-seater with central driver's position and, because of being overdesigned, a possible payload until two times higher than it’s curb/tare weight :
1. lowest possible center of gravity with a loading height from 40 cm and small side wheel cases for 10" or 12” tires, on request e.g. 195/50-10 rear, 125/80-12 front
2. innovative modular construction system, stainless long-term but lightweight, flexible for many different versions, also in small series, or unicum; robust and good value drive, axle and other components, even for self-replacement or by any workshop
3. EU L7e-CU 90 km/h 3,7 m x 1,5 m cargo version (600 kg) for 2 passengers and payload from 0,5 t as required up to 1,2 t, cargo area e.g. 2 m x 1,5 m, other dimensions on request
4. cargo area on request with roof and side walls : e.g. 6 m3 loading volume, then on request 4 m2 solar cells
5. bench seat with standard dimensions for 3 passengers and central driver's seat
6. roof with rollover bars above (5.), on request light roof(s) and gull-winged doors in composites, solar cells
7. 3,7 m long taxi version for 9 passengers (3rd rear bench seat in opposite direction)
8. (transverse parking possible) “2,55 m Spart Forsix” version for 6 passengers (+ roof rack)
9. <=130 km/h “2,55 m (or longer, x >1,5 m) Spart Fortwo” EU L7e-A2 pickup version (450-600 kg) for 2 passengers, with comfortable independent suspension, “a real car” also for holiday trips on highways, not only a secondary car
10. <=130 km/h "2,55 m (x >1,5 m) Spart Forthree off-road buggy” (on request 4x4) EU L7e-B2 pickup version (450-600 kg) for 3 passengers + cargo, with comfortable independent suspension, “a real car” also for holiday trips on highways, not only a secondary car
11. 90 km/h “<=3,7 m x 1,5 m MaxiSpart Forfour” EU L7e-CP version for 4 passengers (+ big boot), other versions (e.g. pickup 600 kg) and dimensions on request
12. choice between 3 (“triporteur”) and 4 wheels (quadricycle), on request gearbox with more than 2 speeds, LSD, off-road 4x4, air suspension, aerodynamic front body and gull-winged doors in composites with PU-foam crash padding, like in our helmets; on request, on cargo and pickup versions possible “clean” & light MiTRE (Micro Turbine Range Extender), or heavier piston engine RE (Range Extender), to avoid battery charging stops
13. on request different battery technologies for range of more than 500 km, not necessary with MiTRE and RE
14. probably the electric vehicle according to e.g. EU L7e with the lowest kWh consumption per passenger and cargo possibilities (calculated on e.g. 100 km)
15. economic “triporteur” steel version with rear beam axle for the e.g. African market
