An electric vehicle for the iPod generation!
New four-seater has multiple applications
Collaboration of two companies on the development of a technologically advanced ‘white label’ electric vehicle aims to bring a car that will require ‘zero compromise’ from drivers and successfully compete with petrol and diesel-powered equivalents.
MIRA Ltd and GEVCO Ltd have announced that they are to collaborate and have signed agreement. This will see MIRA’s advanced engineering, research and testing expertise brought to bear in the design of a Global Electric Vehicle (GEVCO) concept, as well as an engineering strategy capable of bringing it to market.
Starting with the compact, four-seat e-city, the eventual vision is to create a series of electric vehicle platforms with multiple applications – all of which follow GEVCO’s Zero Technology Compromise philosophy and incorporate lightweight, recyclable materials alongside next generation powertrain and energy storage technologies – in order to deliver a commercially viable mass-market proposition.
MIRA’s ceo Dr George Gillespie says: “This marks the start of an exciting chapter in the development of a new generation of electric vehicles. Over the coming months a joint MIRA / GEVCO team, based at our global headquarters in Leicestershire, will be applying the advanced technologies and designing concepts capable of meeting global homologation as well as market specific needs.”
Uniquely, GEVCO’s white label business model dramatically reduces the cost and risk of entry into the competitive e-motive sector. It effectively enables major international corporations to ‘own brand’ and sell an exciting range of affordable, frugal vehicles in any territory – accessing technologies that will place them ahead of many competitors in the process.

GEVCO founder and ceo Steve Woolley says: “Collaboration will lead to the creation of a vehicle that achieves a step-change in the way society views personal mobility. We aim to create a Global Electric Vehicle that is technologically advanced, can be personalised to reflect people’s lifestyles and social values but is also cool and fun to drive – a car for the iPod generation.”
