General Motors’ subsidiary BrightDrop recently announced plans to expand their commercial electric vehicle (EV) business to Mexico. This move comes at a time when EV technology is advancing rapidly across the globe.
For many years, Mexico has been known for its heavily polluting petroleum-powered vehicles. This has created a host of environmental issues, yet the country is now embracing EVs as part of its plans to reduce air pollution and climate change.
Through BrightDrop, GM plans to tap into the growing demand for EVs in Mexico by introducing a suite of products designed to meet different customer needs. This includes the EP1 electric delivery van, the EP1K delivery kit, and the EP T telematics solution.
The EP1 van is designed to provide businesses with a reliable and cost-effective delivery solution. It features a low total cost of ownership, a range of over 100 miles on a single charge, and a cargo capacity of up to 8,500 pounds.
The EP1K delivery kit includes two EP1 vans, two charging stations, and a charging and route planning solution. This is a particularly attractive solution for businesses who want to optimize the efficiency of their EV operations.
The EP T telematics solution is designed to provide businesses with real-time insights into how their EVs are performing. This includes vehicle speed, range, charging, maintenance, and other important metrics.
With BrightDrop, GM now has a presence in all major auto markets in North Americaincluding the United States, Canada, and Mexico. This further demonstrates GM’s commitment to EV technology and the fight against climate change.
Mexico is now joining the global wave of EV adoption. This is an exciting development for the country and GM’s BrightDrop initiative is an important step in helping Mexico transition to a greener future.
