A String of Versatile Products
Mattro has 25 years of experience in the transportation and transportation supplier markets, is a pioneer in the new field of e-mobility, has been developing industry-leading battery systems for more than a decade, and does all of its designing and engineering in-house.
The company also does a fair amount of prototype development and one-offs for larger companies and manufacturers of electric powertrains for tracked vehicles like the Bock, featured in the image below. The company also does small-scale manufacturing, regional production in Austria and works with European project management teams.
Following is a video of the $30,000 pioneering Ziesel Offroad vehicle, also known as the electric tank wheelchair, capable of cruising over rough terrain at up to 22 mph (35 kph).
