All-terrain vehicle
Lightweight, environmentally friendly and recyclable
"For the two most important safety elements of a car, the steering and brakes, we put our trust in igus® plain bearings. The weight advantage and the low maintenance requirements convince us every time."
Leo Choisel, KG Automobile
Ample storage space with 520 litres of load volume
The young French car manufacturer KG Automobile is committed to the motto "Less Is Better". That is why this vehicle has a lower weight, lower environmental impact and lower fuel consumption than conventional cars. At the same time, the vehicle is designed to be fun, practical and environmentally friendly.
The off-road vehicle offers a total load volume of 520 litres and a particularly reliable and maintenance-free modular design. It is also environmentally friendly. Not only because of its low weight and low fuel consumption. In addition, the vehicle is produced on site at KG Automobile and recycling has already played an important role in the vehicle's development.
High demands on vehicle and components
KG Automobile's aim was to build a vehicle with all-wheel drive, space for two people and a weight of less than 300 kg. It had to be all-weather, off-road, low-maintenance and road-legal. A whole series of requirements that made the design phase complex. All the components used also had to fulfil these requirements.
iglidur® plain bearings and igubal® spherical plain bearings from igus® were able to enter the race without any problems under these operating conditions. They convince with their mechanical resistance, a very good price and maintenance-free use without additional lubricants. igubal® KSTM pillow block bearings are used for the steering column, igubal® KCLM ball heads for the steering tie rods and iglidur® plain bearings for the guidance of the brake pedal.
