ETRAN KRAF Electric Motorcycle from Thailand

All of us at EvNerds feel like Electric Motorcycles production and other EV sectors are about to explode in Thailand.

We had Anastasia that wrote about regulatory issues concerning of import-export and EV usability in the Thailand market, and we think that Thailand will not wait to stand behind the worlds electric vehicle production.

Small companies like ETRAN are the best example of companies taking a stand and making some serious developments in Thailands electric vehicle market. In just one and a half year they went from ETRAN KRAF model on the first picture, to the one we are about to show you now with the investment form Thailand PTT company.
