Our purpose is to deliver innovative, high value design and engineering solutions, which utilise the advantages of our European environment to drive sales and profit for SMPV. We created the world’s first ‘internet car’ which is currently dominating the Chinese car market, and here in the UK we are shaping the future of global mobility by challenging the status quo of traditional vehicle Engineering and Design.
