Cenntro Automotive Metro
Cenntro Automotive, a US-based designer
and manufacturer of electric vehicles with operations in Europe and China, will
present the Metro at the 2016 New York Auto Show.
The weird-looking commercial model is
said to be the first EV to use a modular concept and promises a choice from
several different configurations that include an open truck bed and van box,
with either one or two doors.
"The Metro is a great vehicle for
all types of business. It has many functions, including hauling, recycling,
landscaping, and delivery. With an affordable price and low cost of ownership,
it provides great value", commented Cenntro Automotive's CEO, Peter Wang.
It uses an electric motor and battery
that allow a range of up to 120 km and a top speed of up to 40 km/h. The vehicle's payload is 635 kg.
Cenntro Automotive didn’t have anything
else to say about the Metro, except that it is the first vehicle in its class
to be produced in the States.
