The Heuliez WILL is a prototype of the Heuliez brand presented at the 2009 Paris International Motor Show. Made from the platform and chassis of the 2007 Agel Opel, it has been developed with the collaboration of Michelin and sponsorship of Orange was the first vehicle to fully present the "Active Wheel" technology of the Michelin company.
This technology integrates within the wheels an electric traction system, an electric suspension system. In this way the space destined in other vehicles to the engine, either electric or combustion, is released inside the chassis, which allows a greater use of the passenger compartment. In addition, the center of gravity of the vehicle is displaced by being centered and in a very low position, since the weight of the engine in conventional cars is distributed between the four engines, one per wheel, at the ends of the vehicle.
