The company has developed the MIH open platform complete with powertrain and has established several EV ventures worldwide.
Earlier this year it completed the acquisition of the 300,000 units a year Lordstown Motors vehicle plant in Ohio.
The two prototype models on display are based on its MIH platform: the Model B crossover hatchback and the all-terrain Model V, the first pickup developed in Taiwan. They could go into production in the US and in Thailand as early as 2024.
The Model B is based on a resized MIH platform used in the Model C with changes to accommodate a new body design.
