  • Hi!

  • We're Uniti, an electric car company with big ambitions.

  • We are really excited that the world is now transitioning to clean, sustainable electric

  • automotive.

  • And the contribution that we want to make to that is to transform the vehicle platform

  • to something that matches electric car technology a little better.

  • For example; if a car is driven by a battery, it should of course be light weight.

  • But that is just the tip of the iceberg.

  • Making the ideal electric car requires a lot of work.

  • So we thought, "Why don't we show you around a little bit of what we do here at Uniti?".

  • In our fully equipped facilities here in the south of Sweden, we have a strong engineering

  • and product development culture.

  • Here, we are working tirelessly to develop a vehicle platform that is sustainable throughout

  • its life cycle.

  • Starting from manufacture and to the end of its life.

  • But of course developing a vehicle platform that just makes sense isn't enough to reach

  • the masses.

  • That challenge starts with design.

  • Our design processes has been an intensive two years of research, where we have worked

  • with a wide group of external stakeholders and have the support from the best in the

  • world.

  • Now the next part of our design process requires us to bring together a wide group of competences

  • and stakeholders.

  • From supply chain and manufacturing to engineering, and branding and communications.

  • And we have found that the best way to do this in a fast and efficient manner is to

  • use virtual reality.

  • Here at Uniti, we use VR on a daily basis as a tool to develop and communicate our vehicle

  • in the most lean and effective way possible.

  • And once everyone's happy here, it is time to get our hands dirty and that is something

  • we love to do here at Uniti because it is so important in the development of a new electric

  • vehicle platform, and it something that we just love to do.

  • Welcome to our prototyping workshop.

  • So in this facility, we can develop and manufacture everything up to full scale production prototypes.

  • Now, of course, there is a big leap between prototyping and developing a vehicle for mass

  • production.

  • So here, we have a particular focus on designing for manufacture.

  • Our vehicle is manufactured in high performance, light weight composite materials.

  • We concentrate early on the manufacturing processes so we make sure the vehicle is lean,

  • sustainable and scaleable in manufacturing.

  • Now, all of this innovative mechanical engineering, prototyping and electronics is great but there's

  • one more special ingredient we need to bring it all to life.

  • Here at software development, we work with some of the world's leading suppliers to integrate

  • cutting edge research in computer vision, autonomy, deep learning and cognitive science.

  • We ensure that our systems architecture is safe, secure and stable for the future of

  • electric cars.

  • And, we take special care to make sure that the technology we built feels like an extension

  • of yourself, just like your smartphone.

  • And of course, all of this creates a lot of IP.

  • We have developed an efficient innovation management system, that has so far resulted

  • in 7 patent applications filed and several more are in the pipeline.

  • The intellectual assets that we produce lets us interact and collaborate with other actors

  • in an open manner, while protecting what we do, as well as our investors.

  • And keeping us stable and growing requires a strong backbone.

  • Welcome to corporate.

  • Here in the finance department, we work hard to implement robust systems and processes

  • so that we have a lean and efficient operation, which is why we are building models so that

  • we can quickly scale up and to make sure that our financial future is secure.

  • Because this is an increasingly complex operation which is why it is essential that we have

  • a lot of high level support and strong partners around the world.

  • I spent my entire career working on climate change, I have been a university professor,

  • I've worked for some of the world's largest companies, and I have helped numerous start-ups.

  • I came to Uniti because I believe this is the best opportunity in my lifetime to make

  • a difference.

  • We aim to be the world's most resource-efficient vehicle company.

  • What I have seen here and what I feel, I think you are absolutely spot on and you will make it.

  • So, at Williams we are all about innovation, and we are always looking at the frontier

  • of EV and next generation automotive.

  • And I think it is amazing, the work that has been done the last couple of years, and it

  • is a really exciting project for a company like Williams to be involved with.

  • Kuka is a company that has been in the robotic business some 40 years, one of the global

  • leaders, market leader in automotive production, and has long experience and expertise in the

  • automotive processes and how cars are built.

  • So for us at Kuka, Uniti represents a great opportunity to provide our experience into

  • a company that is coming in to the automotive production from a new angle.

  • That's a great opportunity to a mutual success for two companies.

  • And of course, all of this means that we have a lot of stories to tell and we're constantly

  • sharing our journey with the rest of the world.

  • We've had a lot of media coverage already, with a potential reach of 2.6 billion people,

  • and we are only getting started.

  • Our car brand does not want to be the best in the world, rather the best for the world.

  • And that is why all the content we make is raw, real and produced in-house.

  • We are confident that we can accelerate this very important transition to clean electric

  • mobility in cities.

  • And it is because our vehicle addresses many of the challenges that are holding this transition

  • back.

  • For example, there is obviously a lot of people that live in apartment blocks or perhaps don't

  • have ready access to charging infrastructure.

  • But did you know that a vast majority of vehicle trips are less than 30 km?

  • That's why our vehicle include a small, lightweight, portable and removable auxiliary

  • battery pack that contains about 30 km of range.

  • It is easily swappable, but it is also easily chargeable at home, at the office or perhaps

  • at a cafe in any normal power outlet.

  • You can charge it in under one hour, and then deposit that 30 km of range into the

  • vehicle in under 10 minutes while you are driving.

  • You can top up the battery with 100 km of range at any fast charging power outlet

  • in under 10 minutes, and be on your way.

  • The range is a reliable 300 km in all weather conditions.

  • And we include a home induction charging option for an option for a solar panel on the roof

  • that can also trickle charge the battery.

  • We include a lot of exciting features, like a full screen smart heads-up display and other

  • features that are designed to improve the overall safety and modernize the experience

  • of the vehicle.

  • This is a really exciting journey to be on, and we would love for you to join us before

  • we have our big launch ceremony that is scheduled for the end of this year.

  • So do check out the campaign page below, and on behalf of the team, thank you very much

  • for your time.
