The bakery "Bäckerei Hafendörfer" in Stuttgart shows that tradition and progress are by no means mutually exclusive. The family business, which has been in business for over 120 years, has opted for an [ARI 458 Box XL](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) with a roller door in the box body as the electric bakery vehicle. In this way, the daily baked goods and confectionery goods can be transported from the bakery to the company's five stores in Stuttgart or directly to the customer.

 

The brothers Falk and Dirk Hafendörfer chose the manoeuvrable [ARI 458 Box XL](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) to be able to make deliveries in the narrow streets of downtown Stuttgart without any problems. The box body is 1.64 meters long, 1.30 meters wide and 1.30 meters high. Consequently, a loading volume of up to 2.8 m³ is possible and a lot of rolls and cakes fit in the ARI. Thanks to the side roller doors in the box body, loading and unloading is quick and easy, so that the goods always arrive fresh at their destination.

 

The [ARI 458 Box XL](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/box) replaces a Piaggio Porter and is already the fourth electric vehicle of the family business. Two street scooters named (roughly translated) “Particle Accelerator” and “Racing Bun” are available for large deliveries. The versatile and practical [ARI 458 light electric van](/en/light-electric-vans) was given the name "Krümmelchen", a diminutive of the German word for “crumble”. According to owner Falk Hafendörfer, the vehicles particularly popular with children. And so "Krümmelchen" travels around 30 kilometres a day in the narrow inner-city streets of Stuttgart to distribute freshly baked goods in the city.

 

Perhaps the cute [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) reminds Herr Hafendörfer of his first car: a 1957 BMW Isetta in vineyard red, which he still owns. In any case, we wish the "Bäckerei Hafendörfer" always a safe journey, happy baking and that the tradition of electromobile progress lives on.

The [Hohe Mark clinic](<https://www.hohemark.de/>) in Taunus has been using an [ARI 458 PIckup L](/en/light-electric-vans/ari-458/pickup) for several months to ensure smooth processes on the large clinic premises. The vehicle, with a loading area measuring 1.49 meters by 1.24 meters, is responsible for distributing mail, parcels and materials to the individual wards and departments. It also transports laundry and garbage bags as well as tools for repairs and construction work.

 

During its planned service life, the previous vehicle, a VW Golf Plus with a diesel engine, would have consumed around 4,800 liters. With the [ARI 458](/en/light-electric-vans) and its energy costs of around 2.50 euros per 100 kilometers, the clinic saves a lot of money. In addition, the electric van produces no emissions and no engine noise, which is significantly less stressful for patients and staff.

 

The clinic's Technical Director, Matthias Wernicke, comments: "Our aim is to gradually make the clinic climate-neutral. We have already achieved some things, but there are still many steps to be taken. In terms of mobility, the ARI is a first step. Another electric car will be added this year. A Golf Plus with a diesel engine will be replaced by a purely electric car. In addition, we are planning to install a publicly accessible wallbox in our multi-storey parking lot in summer 2021. This is a charging station for electric cars with 2 charging points of 11 kW each."

 

The new ARI 458 PIckup L fits perfectly into the philosophy of the clinic, which has already been awarded the [BUND "Energy-saving hospital" seal of approval](<https://www.hohemark.de/klinik-hohe-mark-energiesparendes-krankenhaus/>). If you too would like to use an environmentally friendly and quiet electric vehicle for your company, factory or hospital premises:

Get from A to B quickly, economically and in a climate-friendly way and still take something with you? It's possible: with the new ARI 902 from the Germany-based company ARI Motors! Available in the [“Pure”](/en/electric-cars/ari-902-pure), [“Cargo”](/en/electric-cars/ari-902-cargo) and [“Comfort”](/en/electric-cars/ari-902-comfort) versions, the electric speedster starts at 13,990 EUR net and has everything that makes everyday life easier for entrepreneurs.

 

The smart two-seater accelerates quickly to 90 km/h (56 mph) and brings the driver for 2.99 EUR per 100 km (at an electricity price of 34 ct per kWh) in a relaxed and lively way through city traffic. It does not cause any direct emissions and is very economical with a consumption every 100 km of only 8.8 kWh (urban) or 10.0 kWh (extra-urban).

 

## ARI 902: The electric speedster with lots of loading space and practical (safety) accessories

 

![05 ARI 902 Cargo Elektrofahrzeug für Lieferdienste.jpg](https://ari-motors-v2-uploads.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/05_ARI_902_Cargo_Elektrofahrzeug_fuer_Lieferdienste_cdd7751852.jpg)

 

With a loading volume of 766 l, the spacious trunk offers plenty of storage space for tool cases, care bags or other equipment. The L7e light vehicle with an unladen weight of only 743 kg proves to be a resilient companion for pharmacy delivery services, caterers, couriers, mobile nursing staff, real estate agents and service providers of all kinds. But it is also perfect as a practical errand vehicle for construction yards, garden centers and similar sites.

 

In addition to the wooden loading floor and lashing eyes, the standard equipment of the [ARI 902 Cargo](/en/electric-cars/ari-902-cargo) also includes a stable separation grid. This ensures that the load remains safe in the trunk or allows dog owners to easily transport their animals.

 

A trailer hitch is also in preparation, which will be approved with a towing capacity of 350 kg and a vertical load of 75 kg. A 230V socket with 1.8 kW is also available as an option, thanks to which cordless screwdrivers or other tools can also be charged while driving.

 

All versions of the [ARI 902](/en/electric-cars) also have an anti-lock braking system as standard. The [ARI 902 Cargo](/en/electric-cars/ari-902-cargo) and the [ARI 902 Comfort](/en/electric-cars/ari-902-comfort) are also equipped with air conditioning and power steering and thus offer a plus in driving pleasure.

 

For optimal comfort and safety, the [ARI 902 Comfort](/en/electric-cars/ari-902-comfort) is also equipped with a trunk blind, fog lights and the passive "Mobileye" driver assistance system with traffic sign recognition including lane departure warning.

 

## ARI 902: The maneuverable mini car for everyone who wants to save time

 

![03 ARI 902 Elektrofahrzeug für Pizza-Lieferdienst.jpg](https://ari-motors-v2-uploads.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/03_ARI_902_Elektrofahrzeug_fuer_Pizza_Lieferdienst_1fcdd363e8.jpg)

 

With the new [ARI 902](/en/electric-cars), ARI Motors is expanding its range of affordable electric vehicles with an extremely agile mini speedster. With a turning circle of just 7.90 m and extra-compact dimensions of just 2.95 m in length, 1.49 m in width and 1.52 m in height, the light vehicle of the class L7e can be maneuvered effortlessly and without wasting time, even in narrow streets steer into small parking spaces.

 

Time can also be saved when charging the standard 9.2 kWh lithium-ion battery: If it is docked at a 230 V socket overnight, it has full capacity again after 4-5 hours and can be charged with up to 110 km (68 mi.) range for the daily routes sufficiently equipped.

 

An optionally available 10.35 kWh battery has a range of up to 140 km (87 mi.). With the help of an 18.1 kWh battery, which is also available as an option, a range of even 200 km (124 mi.) is possible. The vehicle's charging connection is easily accessible directly in the front of the vehicle and enables uncomplicated charging.

 

![07 ARI 902 Typ2-Ladeanschluss.jpg](https://ari-motors-v2-uploads.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/07_ARI_902_Typ2_Ladeanschluss_e2ff0fe61e.jpg)

 

Thomas Kuwatsch, co-founder and CFO of ARI Motors, summarizes the advantages of the car as follows:

“The inexpensive ARI 902 combines compact dimensions and a small turning circle with a generous amount of space and economical consumption. This makes it the ideal everyday vehicle for entrepreneurs and service providers who want to get from A to B quickly and efficiently, but don't want to forethis without comfort and storage space."

 

## Color, light & comfort: The ARI 902 as an attractive companion in everyday urban work

 

![04 ARI 902 Comfort für Dienstleister.jpg](https://ari-motors-v2-uploads.s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/04_ARI_902_Comfort_fuer_Dienstleister_b290240c39.jpg)

 

The modern and functionally designed interior of the [ARI 902](/en/electric-cars) is designed to make daily mobility as pleasant as possible. A digital screen behind the steering wheel and a centrally mounted touchscreen display with MP4 player, Bluetooth function, hands-free system and rear view camera ensure comfort and entertainment while driving.

 

A visual highlight is the glass optional tilting sunroof of the small city electric vehicle, which creates a light and airy feeling of space inside the ARI 902.

 

The standard color of the [ARI 902](/en/electric-cars) included in the price is classic white, which can be combined with the interior colors turquoise or red. The exterior colors fire red, silver gray and light blue are also available for all variants for an additional charge.
