There will also be an on-site test track for pre-delivery checks and prototyping testing, and customers will also be able to take a test drive here. Furthermore, solar panels located at the site will help Koenigsegg achieve its goal of becoming a carbon-neutral company.<\/p>\n<p>Koenigsegg also plans to construct an experience center to enable fans on a more limited budget to get something out of visiting the site. There will be cars from past and present on display, as well as other planned events.<\/p>\n<p>Part of the new plant will also accommodate Koenigsegg&#8217;s growing engineering business. The company has started licensing some of its cutting-edge technology, the most recent of which are a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1134932_koenigsegg-s-quark-electric-motor-weighs-63-lb-delivers-335-hp\">power-dense electric motor<\/a> and combined electric drive system containing two of the motors and an inverter. Koenigsegg has also previously announced an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.motorauthority.com\/news\/1101737_video-shows-inner-workings-of-koenigseggs-camless-engine\">engine with a cam-less design<\/a>.
