[2024 Yeonggwang e-Mobility Expo] Lohwell SM unveils the multi-purpose small electric carriers 'Jeopgota' and 'Farming Boy'

Lohwell SM (CEO Park Jang-hyuk), a developer of multi-purpose small electric carriers, will take part in the '2024 Yeonggwang e-Mobility Expo', held for four days from the 17th to the 20th around the Yeonggwang Knowledge Industry Center in the Daemajeongi Electric Vehicle Industrial Complex, Yeonggwang-gun, Jeonnam. It will present its flagship multi-purpose small electric carrier 'Jeopgota', along with the 'Farming Boy 2.0A' and the 'Farming Boy 3.0A (SM3-SD)'.

With 17 years of tradition, the company is protecting Korean farm villages from low-grade foreign electric vehicles with pure Korean technology, domestic parts and domestic manufacturing that deliver excellent performance and safety.

Jeopgota is a patent-registered multi-utility car: one electric cart that unfolds into a cargo bed when carrying loads and folds into seats when carrying several people. It is easy to operate; it is fitted with a Safe Starter to prevent accidents caused by sudden starts, a brushless (BLDC) motor that delivers high output, and a high-efficiency battery dedicated to driving. Its variable cargo bed has received patent certification, and its motorcycle-style handlebar lets anyone drive it easily.

The Farming Boy 2.0A and Farming Boy 3.0A (SM3-SD) are powered carriers for agriculture. They have been selected as eligible models for government-subsidised programmes, so buyers can receive up to 60% in support.
