SEAT Altea XL Electric and Leon TwinDrive plug-in hybrid

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 28, 2011 -- SEAT has unveiled a prototype electric car, the Altea XL Electric Ecomotive, and a prototype plug-in hybrid, the Leon TwinDrive Ecomotive. However it will be 2015, ie. four years from now, before both are in production.

Over the next few months the Spanish car maker will make both models available to government institutions in Catalonia and Madrid for use in their vehicle fleets. This will provide SEAT with valuable information on use of the cars for assessment with a view to mass production of electric vehicles in the medium-term.

SEAT envisages the launch of its first electric plug-in hybrid car in 2015, to be followed a year later by an all-electric vehicle. SEAT’s strategy is to commit to a wide range of alternative technologies – which is why the company says it is unveiling two different but complementary models at the same time.

The announcement of the launch of the first electric vehicles coincides with the start of the biggest new product offensive SEAT has known; the company will launch four new models over the next 12 months, the first being SEAT’s version of the Volkswagen Up! – the Mii.
