“As electric vehicle manufacturing is one of the New S-Curve industries under the government’s strategic development plan, EA has been committed to upgrading the commercial transport system by developing locally made electric vehicles,” said EA deputy chief executive Amorn Sapthaweekul.

Developed under the concept of “Respect the Environment”, the MT30 aims to not only help entrepreneurs save on transport costs but also reduce air pollution.
