What do we know about these vehicles?
They are vans and microvans driving purely electric. In December, the first vehicles were delivered, it was a small, two-digit number.
Très bien ces batteries qui equiqués les Saab chinoises.
Corn source est l'autonomie? quel sera le prix d'un équipement? Que fera t on des batteries hors services?
Actually, I follow the action already, but now I stand there blank. What does this mean? Panda has ordered 250000 vehicles from NEVS, and now it turns out they're minivans? What do they have to do with NEVS at all, or did they secretly develop transporters in Trollhättan? If not, where does the design of the boxes come from, if it has anything to do with NEVS?
Perplexed…
There have been 35.000 electrical pickup ordered by Panda. The vans will have a lot to do with NEVS and Sweden. They are constructions of New Long Ma and comparable to other makes, of which there are many in China. A pure China topic, I think.
