Learn about the features of this car and its price.

Today, the North American multinational BILITI Electric announced its entry into Portugal, with its GMW Europe brand, which will market electric vehicles specifically designed for “last mile” deliveries in an urban environment. The company intends to establish a production unit in our country, with the ability to assemble up to 500 vehicles per month, for distribution throughout Europe - which will represent a total investment of about 20 million euros in Portugal and in the European market for 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 about 12 million packages.

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.
