We continue expanding the Emuwing range across new vehicle platforms as development opportunities arise.

While we would love to offer an Emuwing solution for every vehicle on the market, product development is a lengthy and expensive process involving vehicle sourcing, engineering, tooling and extensive testing. As a result, higher-demand vehicles generally take priority over lower-volume platforms.

Vehicle demand, glass tooling costs, available development vehicles and engineering complexity all influence which models are developed next.

Even if an Emuwing is not currently available for your specific vehicle, hearing about customer interest plays an important role in shaping future development. Your vehicle may not be available today — but that doesn’t mean it isn’t on our radar for future releases.
