EV manufacturer GWM ORA has launched a new in-house battery inspection and evaluation initiative.
It says a newly-formed, dedicated technical team will provide field based assistance, offering guidance on the status and repairability of traction batteries after its vehicles are involved in collisions.
The manufacturer says it hopes the new initiative will reduce unnecessary wastage of batteries after minor incidents, which may only have caused cosmetic vehicle damage.
It will provide a full assessment and report on the status of the battery, and if required, make the necessary arrangements to transport the vehicle safely and then refurbish it to manufacturer standards.
GWM ORA UK managing director Toby Marshall said: “Launching a new brand in the UK is no easy task, but for us it has been a little more straightforward as we sit within the International Motors infrastructure. This means we benefit from the group’s parts stocking facilities, vehicle and parts logistics, technical know-how as well as other essential resources.
“Using that infrastructure, we’re taking further steps to provide even more support to our key stakeholders, such as this new battery initiative.”
