Cenntro Inc.
Cenntro Inc. designs, assembles, and sells electric commercial vehicles (ECVs) for urban and light-duty fleet use. Its product mix includes models such as Metro®, Logistar™, Avantier™, Teemak™, Neibor®, Antric®, and Clubcar, which it sells through a mix of distributors and direct-to-customer channels depending on the region. The company has shifted its go-to-market approach over time, moving back toward a distributor-led model in Europe while using a hybrid direct-and-distributor model in North America. Cenntro is also working to regionalize manufacturing and supply chains, including local assembly plans in the United States and the European Union, to support growth and reduce reliance on imported components. Revenue is generated not only from vehicle sales but also from spare parts and related technical services such as homologation and certification support.
