Imagine driving on a warm summer night with the wind blowing through your hair and hearing nothing but the sounds of nature – the TH!NK open will offer an entirely new automotive experience with its stillness. The cool design and electric drive train will attract attention without making a noise. The TH!NK open is based on the TH!NK city and has the same technical specifications and comfort and convenience features.

The TH!NK open is highly connected and offers GPS navigation, web, e-mail and open interfaces.

The TH!NK Ox is a concept but will no doubt form Stage Two of the company’s product development, as it takes advantage of a larger electric vehicle platform that can be applied to a variety of body styles. Just one of a number of possible guises for the easily-adaptable electric car layout, the TH!NK Ox is a Crossover five-seater.

The TH!NK Ox platform for electric drive vehicles will likely see different body styles developed specifically for each of the European, North American and Asian markets. This is possible due to a space frame concept featuring the main crash structure and the batteries centrally placed in two compartments in the lower frame.

The TH!NK Ox images in this article’s picture gallery shows an MPV version and a coupé version. The MPV version is suggested as a taxi with a larger luggage space compartment. The MPV version is designed for easy entry and exit, and a spacious and easy access luggage trunk. The coupé and sports versions have a larger battery capacity for higher performance.

The TH!NK Ox Platform design allows for two different battery packs; a high stack (which takes two battery compartments, and with more space, allows use of low cost, high range sodium batteries) and a low stack (uses flat Li Ion packs for flat and low body shapes.
