1977 Silentia Electric news, pictures, and information
Björn Örtenheim worked on creating electric vehicles - mostly mopeds and motorcycles - during the early 1970s. As success continued with these lightweight and small vehicles, Örtenheim started planning for creating electric cars that could be put into serial production. The cars used lightweight materials such as plastics and fiberglass and several components from Volkswagen. The batteries were placed mid-ship with two main engines and two additional units for steeper hills. The small car had a top speed of about 80 km/h and could travel 300 km per charge.
Production of the Silentia Electric Cars lasted from 1974 through 1978.
