Another world premiere for REVA at the 2009 IAA is the launch of REVive, a technology that allows the customer to just telephone or SMS REVA for an instant remote recharge. Both the REVA NXR and the REVA NXG will feature the REVive telematics technology. Further technology and pricing announcements will be made at the IAA.
