The Hawa 40 volt small electric car was an electric vehicle for road traffic produced in small numbers by the Hannoversche Waggonfabrik (Hawa) in the first half of the 1920s .
history
The Hawa founded in 1898, mainly dedicated to the construction of tram cars, heavy machinery, locomotives, airplanes and car bodies for domestic and foreign companies, produced at the time of the German hyperinflation in the Weimar Republic from 1921 to 1923 some 2,000 copies of the compact car , the was propelled by an electric motor powered by a 40 volt battery .
As a passenger car , it was delivered as a " tandem " two-seater, but also as a panel van , but was unable to establish itself on the market . Another source indicates that in addition to the two-seater and the single-seater panel van, a coupe was also offered. The vehicle weighed 320 kg and was therefore a cycle car .
With a wheelbase of 156.4 cm and a track width of 89 cm, the vehicle was 242.3 cm long and 115 cm wide. The maximum speed was specified with 20 to 24 km / h, and the range with 70 km.
