Microcar manufacturer smart has announced plans to launch the all-electric fortwo city car onto the Chinese market by the end of the year, after the local government has green-lighted the zero-local-emission runabout.
By introducing its electric fortwo version on the world’s largest automotive market, the German-based automaker will become the first European importer to bring a fully electrified vehicle to China.
„smart has conquered the hearts of our Chinese customers by storm – they appreciate and love smart because it is the perfect city car. By bringing the smart electric drive to the Chinese market we will be the first European importer to introduce a fully electric vehicle in China. Again we are proving our role as the global pacemaker of urban mobility. Our numerous forward-thinking clients in China will be enthusiastic about the smart electric drive`s fabulous driving dynamics,” said Dr. Annette Winkler, Head of smart Automobile.
The electric smart fortwo, which is produced at the Hambach facility in France, was sold in more than 1,000 examples in Europe last year.
