Innovative vehicles, innovative technology: Frank M. Rinderknecht and Rainer Zietlow embark on their next adventure ride with two ID.Buzz - powered by HARTING.
Innovative vehicles, powered by innovative technology: Piloting two VW ID.Buzz vehicles, the driver duo Frank M. Rinderknecht, founder and CEO of the concept vehicle specialist Rinspeed, and record-breaking driver Rainer Zietlow of Challenge4.de are setting their sights on an extraordinary e-mobility adventure. The two will be transversing several continents and then crossing the Mediterranean – with the route extending from Switzerland to Italy and on to Croatia, Turkey, Greece, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. In the process, Rinderknecht and Zietlow will be tackling regions where a charging infrastructure hardly exists. Can electric mobility nevertheless function reliably across Europe and beyond national borders? At the end of September, Rinderknecht and Zietlow will be providing the answers when they arrive at their final destination in Qatar.
The HARTING Technology Group is at their side. The company is VW's Tier 1 supplier of electric cables, VW Group Award 2020 winner in the E-Mobility category and ID.Buzz supplier and develops robust, reliable and user-friendly charging solutions.

As Marco Grinblats, Managing Director of HARTING Automotive, explains: "With our partnership-based participation in the 'Tour d'Excellence', we have once again taken the opportunity to demonstrate the performance of our e-mobility solutions. Robustness and performance - these product characteristics are what counts in this tour. Here, the two drivers can fully rely on our charging solutions."
Christopher Ukatz, Managing Director of HARTING Germany, is also excited about the upcoming adventure: "We have known Frank M. Rinderknecht and Rainer Zietlow for many years and have already worked successfully with them on several occasions. We are proud to be actively supporting both of them in this first joint project.
