We will see it circulate from 2024, but, as we say, Madrid and Barcelona taxi drivers have already had the opportunity to see it live. This is a design by Giorgetto and Fabrizio Giugiaro, which is based on a modular electric propulsion platform on which a transport car with a driver can be created, but also a last-mile delivery vehicle, ambulances, emergency vehicles or even security and defense vehicles.
The novelty of this Etioca Miner is that you will not be able to buy it, but commitment to a subscription model that could incorporate a daily electric charging service, insurance, maintenance, replacement vehicle. Etioca provides for a basic rate of 0.36 euros per kilometer, but this will increase depending on the additional services that are contracted and that we have just mentioned.
