LONDON: Geely subsidiary London Electric Vehicle Company (LEVC) has revealed the L380, the first of a new range of innovative, spacious, fully electric models, which will see the brand accelerate its transition from a high-end taxi manufacturer to a leading provider of e-mobility solutions.
Following the launch of a state-of-the-art new EV platform – Geely Holding Group’s Space Oriented Architecture (SOA) – earlier this year, the L380 Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) is the first model that will be underpinned by this advanced technology, offering long range, efficiency, safety, charging time, durability, and connectivity.
LEVC’s new L380 model drives the company into an entirely new market, delivering smart, green, safe, and accessible mobility, raising the bar for interior flexibility, with multiple seating configurations, available in a six or eight-seat layout.
It's expected to go head to head with other premium MPV models like the Lexus LM and Volvo EM90.
Initially launched in China in 2024, L380 will become available in additional markets too, with more details – including technical specifications – to follow next year.
“LEVC’s strategy is to become a leading zero-carbon mobility technology company and our new direction will see us grow beyond manufacturing the world’s most advanced taxi, the TX, and deliver smart, green, safe, and accessible mobility solutions to all," said LEVC CEO Alex Nan.
“The L380 Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV) debuts today (Dec 12) and ushers in not one but two firsts for LEVC: it is our first model to be based on advanced, flexible Space Oriented Architecture (SOA) technology – and it also launches LEVC into an entirely new sector."
