Electron, combining the three elements of the 'E' naming obsession, 'electric' for the motive power source and 'Proton' for the parent company... making one word that also signifies the carrier of energy and is a particle that is very lightweight. Only my guess.. however the name has already been used on an electric car with some Lotus sponsorship.

Wasn't the Elsan some sort of chemical toilet ?
Or did you know that ?
