Old and new companies jostle for smart EV market

Niutron

A new brand Niutron under Chinese electric scooter maker Niu Technologies was unveiled in December 2021. Its founder Li Yinan said the company will focus on electric cars and range-extending vehicles, based on its platform called Gemini, and target the premium vehicle buyers in the country.

Niutron will start to take orders for the first model, a large-sized five-seat SUV with two powertrain options, in the first half of 2022 and deliver them from September in the same year.
