China Motor Corp (CMC, 中華汽車), which markets vehicles under the Mitsubishi brand, plans to release new electric scooters, set up charging stations and introduce new vehicles in the second half of this year.

“We expect shipment of electric scooters to rise significantly this year, as we plan to introduce two new scooters next month, each with an engine displacement of between 115cc and 125cc,” CMC president Chen Chao-wen (陳昭文) said yesterday after the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting in Taipei.

A CMC official, who asked to remain anonymous, told the Taipei Times by telephone that the new scooters would have different functions, as one would be more suitable for delivering goods.

The company would adopt a new battery charging system rather than a battery swap solution for the new scooters, which could be charged at charging stations or at home, the official said.
