The all-electric Smart EQ is definitely the star of the streets. Photographer FELIX EISENMEIER staged several stories all about the agile vehicle. We present you the first three mini-spreads that turned out great here on GoSee.
Felix Eisenmeier: “Thanks to the team for the power, to Mercedes-Benz Cologne for the cars and to 711rent and Pille Film Equipment Rental for the tech-support!” The photographer is thrilled to tell us about the new electric model: “The all-electric Smart takes you where other cars can’t – to hidden spots throughout the city, to small areas, and you’ll find a parking spot anywhere you want. So enjoy and focus on what drives you, focus on fun, and focus on the good things in life!” Daimler subsidiary SMART has completely bid the topic of combustion motor farewell in 2020, making it the very first purely electric brand built by the carmaker.
All three Smart models currently available are still leaving the assembly line in Hambach, France, at the moment. But all future Smart models will be built in Ningbo, China, a coastal town in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang approximately 150 kilometers from Shanghai. Mercedes and the Geely Holding Group (Chinese automobile and motorcycle manufacturer) founded by pioneer Li Shufu started the 50:50 company Smart Automobile Co. Ltd, which exclusively manufactures electric cars. The first vehicle of this new partnership will be an additional Smart model in 2022. With the new partner Geely, Smart wants to take a more aggressive approach to the European market. We can hardly wait! GoSee : smart.com
