João Roberto dos Santos, Caio`s engineering manager and one of the speakers at the event, comments on the subject: ``We presented technical details of the eMillennium, such as the new cross-section of the Caio product portfolio, which has increased the width of the interior lounge by up to 70 mm and the roof by up to 110 mm, which contributes to better accommodation of the battery pack and components.”
