Last month TUGA reveals the segmentation of its electric vehicles, with new offerings ranging from sports models to SUVs and trucks. The Portuguese-Canadian company shared an updated note that outlined the work done in recent months and progress towards the proposed functional goals. The car received engineering upgrades and improvements, which then provided the company with appropriate product segmentation..
What is certain is that the company remains confident that the car will no longer be just a concept prototype that will move into the production phase. TUGA now expects production of its prototype to take place in the fourth quarter of 2022. The company says that throughout this process, the goal of developing the car was ensure that all engineering factors reflect the original spirit and design parameters conceived by the founders of TUGA.
In this sense, the operational aspects of the development of the car were divided into three phases. In the first, his draft design and engineering was created. At the second stage, the most detailed design stage was introduced with the preservation of technical characteristics. Finally, the third stage, scheduled for the end of the year, is assembly and production.. The company said that the first stage has been completed, and the second is currently underway.

TUGA intends to solve some of the problems of urban mobility with its model. Its distinctive and compact design allows it to be parked in places where other vehicles cannot fit. But security is an essential component of its structure. “Step by step, we are implementing our vision of an improved three-wheeled electric model in a prototype for production.”, said Cesar Barbosa, Vice President and Project Manager of TUGA.
Company several pre-defined vehicle configurations have been completed which, while sharing a few common design features, are aimed at different uses and customer needs, be it a focus on mobility, services or utilities. The patented retractable axle improves stability at high speeds, while the extendable chassis makes it easier for passengers to get inside the car.
TUGA Innovations offers three vehicle categories as well as proprietary component options such as retractable rear axle or retractable landing gear, which the company later says will be segmented to suit different market sectors..
The first category is dedicated limited-edition, high-performance cars that can transformsuch as removing the front windshield and rear stowage to create the look of a roadster. They fit the TUGA Thunder and TUGA Falcon models.
The second group of vehicles includes TUGA Commuter and TUGA Deliver, which, in fact, are demonstration models of the manufacturer. They allow you to swap body parts that have now been redesigned with more safety components added.. Vehicles can also be purchased in a package called Mobility as a Service (MaaS) for functional integration into delivery fleets as well as daily commuting.
Finally, the TUGA Cargo and TUGA Pickup models. expand your chassis to meet the needs of urban micrologistics. The vehicles have a capacity of 600 liters of cargo space in an 88 cm long model, combined with a 128 cm wide rear axle for added stability.
