Madrid, June 14, 2023 - LIUX, the Spanish start-up focused on electric vehicles and sustainable mobility, is pioneering the manufacture of cars with bio-based materials and will be the first to welcome visitors at the main booth of the VivaTech fair, the most important start-up and innovation event in the world.

 

At this edition of VivaTech, LIUX will make a difference by showcasing its latest innovations: the prototype of their LIUX ANIMAL model and their new model, the LIUX GEKO, the world's first cars made with bio-based materials. These vehicles have a body and part of the chassis made from a composite produced from linen fiber, with very high structural properties, similar to carbon fiber.

 

This will be the first time that LIUX unveils a construction phase prototype of its new LIUX GEKO model, where visitors can see the whole chassis, the power system, and all the linen fiber upper chassis up close. This model, like the ANIMAL, is a clear example of the company's strategy for modularity, the use of biomaterials, and 3D printing in the manufacture of electric vehicles. And it's the brand's bet to develop its first mass production.

 

In addition, VivaTech attendees will be able to immerse themselves in a virtual reality (VR) experience with the different models of LIUX cars, further amplifying the start-up's innovative presence at this important event.

 

Antonio Espinosa, CEO of LIUX, will have the opportunity to present the company to investors and media from June 14 to 16 at VivaTech's Discovery Stage.

 

"Participating in VivaTech, the world's largest start-up event, is a privilege and an exceptional opportunity for LIUX. This event is an extraordinary showcase that allows us to show the world our commitment to innovation and sustainability," declares Antonio Espinosa.
