The specified maximum speed is 65 km / there are two versions based on CMC bodies (China Motor Corporation) whose models are Mitsubishi's license replicas. The smaller one has as base the Minicab and the larger the Mitsubishi Varica. The second body variant is still used in the Indian model Premier Sigma.
It was built in the early 1990s, a few hundred copies of the German company Colenta (Colenta Electromobile GmbH) to the electric car. Of these, only a few collectibles are still in operation.

The empty weight including battery is 1,190 kg, and the payload is 450 kg. The maximum speed is 65km/h, the range is up to 80 km, and the main areas of operation are North Sea islands such as Wangerooge
