All-terrain vehicle

Ample storage space with 520 litres of load volume

The young French car manufacturer KG Automobile relies on the motto "Less Is Better". This vehicle is lightweight, has lower environmental impact and less fuel consumption than conventional cars. The vehicle should also be fun, practical and environmentally friendly.

The off-road vehicle offers a full 520 litres of load volume and a very reliable and maintenance-free modular design. It is also environmentally friendly. Not only because of its lightweight and low consumption. Additionally, the vehicle is produced locally on site at KG Automobile and recycling has played an important role in the vehicle development.

High demands on vehicle and components

KG Automobile's goal was to build a vehicle that is all-wheel drive, has room for two people and weighs less than 300kg. It should be all-weather, off-road, low maintenance and has road permit. A whole range of requirements that made the design phase costly. All components used also had to meet these requirements.

The iglidur plain bearings and igubal spherical 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. The igubal KSTM pillow block bearings are used for the steering column, igubal KCLM ball heads for the steering track rods and iglidur plain bearings for the brake pedal guide.
