RiderTua.com – Mitsubishi has launched its first environmentally friendly car in Indonesia in the L100 EV model. Even though this model is a commercial car, the car previously known as MiEV is sought after by a large number of companies. Although the presence of this new commercial car from Mitsubishi is not a problem for its competitors. Especially Daihatsu, which has long led the market.
Mitsubishi Presents Its First Electric Car in Indonesia
Electric cars have now become one of the most widely sold types of environmentally friendly cars in Indonesia in recent years. However, most of the models offered are passenger car models, while the number of commercial vehicles is still very small. So Mitsubishi launched the L100 EV as a commercial car in its market, as well as its first electric car here.
Indeed, the presence of this model has attracted the attention of its competitors, especially Daihatsu. However, they admitted that they were not bothered by the presence of the L100 EV, even though it was in the same market as their Gran Max series. Because each model has its own market, and of course different consumers.
Different Markets
Both the Gran Max and L100 EV are different cars in terms of their driving force even though they are both commercial cars. Because the electric car from Mitsubishi relies on electric power, a balanced opponent for this model should be the DFSK Gelora E. Maybe in terms of dimensions they are very different, but both are electric-powered van-style commercial cars.
Meanwhile for the Gran Max, this model has long been a mainstay for Daihatsu in its market, both pickup and van models. But when compared with the van model, the pickup version is the most widely sold, even surpassing the sales of the Suzuki Carry several times. Even with the presence of environmentally friendly cars in the commercial car market, the Gran Max and other models cannot just be shifted.
