Singapore, June 12, 2023, FEST, an urban mobility-focused pioneer in electric vehicle (EV) technology and manufacturer of electric light commercial vehicles (E-LCVs), has obtained EU certification and received European Whole Vehicle Type Approval (EU WVTA) for its first-generation e-LCV, E-Box M.
Achieving this milestone confirms FEST's engineering capabilities. Successfully passing all required tests allows FEST now to start marketing E-box M in the coming months in Europe, in line with its start of production of the E-box M in July 2023.
"In order to facilitate the global transition to green energy at a much faster pace, we are also dedicated to designing and producing e-LCVs that are exceptionally efficient, reliable and frugal ", stated Alishir Khalil, founder and CEO of FEST. "That's why the E-box M has generated a lot of attention among our customers due to its remarkably high efficiency, affordable purchasing price, and excellent total cost of ownership (TCO) performance. Since E-box M was developed on an advanced 100% electric platform, it offers significant advantages over vehicles converted from fuel-based platforms. It boasts a spacious cargo area and increased payload capacity, bringing outstanding value to FEST's customers. Also, we are going to begin production in July and start delivering the first vehicles to our customers in Europe and Latin America yet this year.”
According to Ellison Sun, Chief Technology Officer at FEST, "The EU WVTA certification for E-Box M marks a major milestone for FEST. It is a testament to our commitment to developing e-LCVs that meet the standards of quality, performance and safety expected from our discerning European customers.
