Advantages

• Silent operation. The manufacturer implemented smart technological solutions due to which car noise level doesn’t exceed 71 dB. This allows to extend the working hours for the vehicles in those areas where noise level restrictions are in force in evening, at night and in early morning. The special Silent Mode can be activated by pressing the appropriate button on the dashboard. This mode involves limitations of the torque and speed. Additional sound insulation of the gearbox also contributes to sound abatement during the vehicle operation.
