The components from ThyssenKrupp:
1. Shock absorbers from ThyssenKrupp Bilstein ensure everyday driving comfort and active safety.

2. In the cockpit cross-member and center tunnel, the AZ31 magnesium alloy helps to significantly reduce the weight. The sheet comes from MgF Magnesium Flachprodukte.

3. The roll bar made from ultrahigh-strength CP-W®1000 steel from ThyssenKrupp Steel Europe combines low weight with high crash safety.

4. The steering system from ThyssenKrupp Presta in hybrid carbon/aluminum design ensures professional driving behavior.

5. The battery housing features plastic elements from ThyssenKrupp Plastics. The battery cells are connected using contact plates from VDM Metals.

6. In the rotor and stator, newly developed electrical steel in the 230-30AP class optimizes the drive efficiency together with permanent magnets from ThyssenKrupp Magnettechnik.
