History

The Mia is based on the Heuliez Friendly concept car unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September 2008.[5] The production version was developed under the supervison of Murat Günak at Heuliez in Cerizay.[6] Following the bankruptcy of Heuliez, its business units were broken up. The traditional unit comprising car body manufacture and the subcontracting business went to the French company BGI, while the unit involved in the development and production of electric cars (Heuliez Vehicule Électrique) was taken over in July 2010 by Mia Electric. The new company absorbed the expertise of the employees as well as production and development capacities of the Cerizay location.[5][6]

Specifications and models

The Mia electric is offered in three trims, Mia, Mia L and Mia K, all trims have two battery options, as the standard 8kWh battery can be replaced by a larger 12 kWh battery, allowing to increase the range from 80 to 90 km (50 to 56 mi) to 120 to 130 km (75 to 81 mi). The battery pack has a 3-year warranty period.[2]

The basic Mia trim is a three-seater, measuring 2.87 m (9 ft 5 in), with two sliding doors and the driver seat is located in the center, and price starts at €19,500 (US$33,700). The Mia L has four seats and a longer wheelbase measuring 3.19 m (10.5 ft), and pricing begins at €24,500 (US$33,700). The Mia K is a box van with just the driver's set and also has a length of 3.19 m (10.5 ft). The cargo capacity is over 1,500 litres (330 imp gal; 400 US gal). All three models comply with the European safety standards for passenger vehicles, and therefore is considered highway-capable. In addition to a central airbag for the driver and seats with three-point safety belts, the standard equipment for the Mia includes an Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and emergency brake assist (EBA).[2][7]

Production and sales

The Mia electric pre-production version was introduced at the March 2011 Geneva Motor Show.[8] Production began in June 2011 and this version was showcased at the September 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.[9] Initial sales are limited to fleet customers in France and Germany. Sales to the public will start in 2012.[1][3] Sales in the UK are scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2012.[4] A total of 13 units were sold in France in September 2011.[10]
