Know the features of this car and the price.
The North American multinational BILITI Electric announced today its entry into Portugal, through its GMW Europe brand, which will market electric vehicles specially designed for “last mile” deliveries in an urban environment. The company intends to create a production unit in our country, with the capacity to assemble up to 500 vehicles per month, for distribution throughout Europe - which represents a total investment of around 20 million euros in Portugal and in the European market throughout the next three years.
The GMW Taskman, the company's first electric vehicle to hit the market, has been used by e-commerce companies such as Amazon, Flipkart (Walmart), IKEA, SokoWatch, Uber and Zomato, among others. To date, these vehicles have cumulatively covered more than 32 million kilometers and delivered around 12 million parcels.
Taskman is the world's first three-wheel electric vehicle designed with an interchangeable battery system - called Smart Swapp - that allows users to replace dead batteries with fully charged batteries in about a minute. Taskman is a compact cargo vehicle with a capacity of 300 kg.
The batteries of these urban vehicles have a range of 80 km per charge and can be fully recharged in 3.5 hours or replaced in about a minute.
Also available is a version adapted to the one needed for garbage, or DumpSTAR, which the company considers to be an interesting solution for municipalities and solid waste management companies that do overnight.
GMW Taskman / DumpSTAR technical characteristics
- 100% electric operation with Advance GMW Li-Ion battery
- 80 km of autonomy (with the vehicle charged) / time for full battery charging: 3.5 hours
- Interchangeable battery system (~ 1 minute, user performed)
