While that part of the company continues to forge partnerships to create the car of the future, a lesser known Samsung business concern has announced that it’s going to build the world’s first electric light commercial vehicle.
Renault Samsung Motors has announced that it’s going to work with mid-size and small local companies to develop a 1-ton electric light commercial vehicle which will have a range of 250 kilometers on a single charge. An official from the company pointed out that much of the development is limited to electric passenger cars these days and that electric commercial vehicles happen to be the next-generation EV market as they are a potential alternative to solve air pollution problems caused by older commercial vehicles. Renault Samsung says that the development is going to take up to four years.
