Synchronous is an electric car concept by Ukrainian company Electric Marathon International.

## History

According to the statement of CEO Electric Marathon International Andriy Bilyi, the development of the prototype took about one year[1] – from 2015 till 2016. The development works were also joint by the Ukrainian partners, a design agency SkyRye (Kyiv)[2] and an engineering company Eco-Factor (Odesa).[3] Company E-Line» (Dnipro) developed the charging station[4] specially for the model Synchronous.

In April 2016 the functional prototype of Synchronous was first introduced at the international conference dedicated to the eco-friendly transport and renewable energy sources EVER 2016.[5] In May 2016 the electric vehicle was presented in Kyiv.[6]

The prototype is designed in retro-futurism style.[7] According to the designer Vladyslav Karpets, it was initially agreed to make it look like a vintage carriage.[8]

Synchronous was created as a municipal taxi, a hotel shuttle or an excursion car.[9]
