Where we are and where we intend to go — from concept designs today to a first running prototype targeted for 2027. Built in public.
Schubert Motors USA is a concept-stage company. The 16 cars are digital concept designs, not physical vehicles, and every performance figure is a design target — not measured or homologated. Green items are work done to date. White items are targets and goals, not commitments. Dates can change and nothing here is a promise to deliver any product or service by any stated date.
