In a surprising announcement, TMT Motors revealed their plans to launch three new small electric vehicles in the Vietnamese market: the Baojun E100, Baojun Yep, and Baojun Yep Plus. Baojun is a sub-brand of SAIC-GM-Wuling, a joint venture in China.
Among these, the Baojun E100 is a compact two-seater electric car that was introduced in China in July 2017. Its aim is to gradually replace two-wheeled motorcycles and improve the environment by reducing emissions from vehicles.
Positioned in the small urban electric car segment, the Baojun E100 has dimensions of 2,488 x 1,506 x 1,670 mm (length x width x height) and a wheelbase of 1,600 mm. Thus, upon its launch, the Baojun E100 will be the smallest car in the Vietnamese market.

The Baojun E100 is equipped with a powerful 39 horsepower and 110 Nm electric motor. As a result, the car can reach a maximum speed of 100 km/h. Its lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 14.9 kWh, enabling the car to travel up to 200 km on a single charge.
TMT Motors has announced that this electric vehicle will be priced below VND 150 million.
On the other hand, the Baojun Yep is a pure electric CUV similar in size to the VinFast VF 3. It features a boxy design, reminiscent of the Suzuki Jimny SUV. With its high ground clearance, extended wheel arches, rugged front bumper, and roof rack, the Baojun Yep exudes an off-road style. Both the headlights and taillights utilize LED technology.

The Baojun Yep is powered by a rear-mounted electric motor that delivers a maximum output of 67 horsepower and 140 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 28.1 kWh LFP battery pack, offering an impressive range of approximately 300 km on a full charge.
The Baojun Yep is expected to be priced around VND 300 million.
Lastly, the Baojun Yep Plus shares a similar design with the Yep but comes as a five-door version. It is equipped with a front-mounted electric motor generating a maximum output of 103 horsepower and 180 Nm of torque. Its battery has a capacity of 41.9 kWh, providing a maximum range of up to 400 km.
