Doking XD, luxury city car XD means - Driving First Class
Croatia's first concept electric vehicle (EV) has been upgraded from a concept car to a prototype!
With a touch of freshness in design, XD model still carries all the attractive features of the concept, and moreover, it brings out additional extravaganza. At the length (2,9 meters or 110 inches) and more than comfortable interior (width 1,7 meters or 67 inches and height 1,6 meters or 63 inches) it starts a new family of premium urban electric vehicles. Being an EV with an original performance
of a compact sports vehicle (zero to 100 km/h in 7,7 seconds), it drives up above the limits set by the class itself. Beside zero CO2 emission while driving, we are developing solutions that would enable XD to be charged with green electricity. And this sets new frontiers. The XD model now comes out with a set of new offers, from details in premium materials, even precious metals, to a completely personalized instrument cluster. Not in one, but in three words, the XD means „driving first class“. As conceptual XD has announced the innovative approach to seating scheme, the vehicle seats three adults incorporating Y design and providing the feeling of spacious comfort, immense visibility and comprehensive safety. Built on a firm Aluminum chassis with independent suspension, XD can be powered by two or four 45 kW electric engines. It means each driving wheel has its own engine, controlled by electronic system developed by DOK-ING. The 32 kWh batteries give the XD easily reached range of up to 250 kilometers. It uses Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (LiFePO 4) batteries that are controlled by an innovative Battery Management System – again, developed by DOK-ING. Charge time for the battery depends on the source, but it can take from 3 to 8 hours. Safety features include 360 degree airbags, integrated safety system for electronic stability, and ABS brakes. Other features include power steering and the ability to choose between sport, comfort or economy drive modes to increase efficiency. Two doors opened by gullwing system give the XD not just an elegant shape but also excellent aerodynamic properties with low Cw factor of 0,35. No matter how it is defined - convenient, capable and chic, or sporty, spirited and stylish, or even powerful and functional but adventurous, the XD is „driving first class“. In designing the new XD, DOK-ING, a specialty vehicle manufacturer based in Zagreb, used it vast experience as a global leader in production of remotely controlled, diesel, hybrid, and electric powered vehicles of different purpose. The outstanding history of innovation was a foundation of present production of demining, firefighting and underground mining vehicles, being at the same time very concrete and trustworthy basis for the technological and technical solutions and safety features for the electric car. Future production of the new XD will be based on highly personalized orders, or, on small serial production in cooperation with a strategic partner. For further information please see or contact:
