Maker of Isetta-inspired electric car is aiming for 300 UK deliveries by the end of 2024
Swiss firm Microlino will begin selling its Isetta-inspired electric quadricycle in the UK imminently, Autocar can reveal. The company is currently advertising a vacancy for a UK country manager, who would be responsible for establishing a sales infrastructure and a marketing strategy for the Microlino. Co-founder Oliver Ouboter told Autocar that the brand will begin sales “before the summer”, and that it aims to launch its retail network by partnering with an existing dealer franchise.
” The company will target private buyers and small businesses, pitching the Microlino as a second car for commuting and running errands. Like the Ami, it will only be offered in left-hand-drive, owing to the cost and complexity of flipping the door. Ouboter added that the vehicle’s narrowness and bench seat mean right-hand drive is unnecessary anyway, because “it's very easy to just scooch over and reach for a parking ticket”.
