RDM Group has been appointed to manufacture and assemble the EV3 Junior – a direct replica of the Malvern-based company’s popular three-wheeler.
A team of eight engineers build each car to order, with each one taking between four to six weeks to complete. So far, 14 have rolled off the production line, with one being sent to a customer in California.
Tim Lyons, chief operations officer, said: “Our Advanced Manufacturing Centre in Coventry is set up to do very niche build work and assembly so we are delighted to be working with Morgan on this exciting project. We currently do a lot of bespoke trim work for the actual full-size three-wheeler so they knew we were capable of reaching their high standards.
“The EV3 Junior features a bonded carbon fibre monocoque, a natural wooden dashboard and hand-stitched leather trim. It also has functioning headlights, a real suspension system and each order can be custom built to the tastes of the ch customer, who can specify colour and additional extras.”
He added: “The EV3 Junior is powered by dual lead acid battery and is capable of going 10 miles per hour and over a 10 mile range before needing to be recharged. I suppose you could say it’s the ultimate in children’s cars. They were on sale in Selfridges last Christmas and they are now available via the Morgan website and their dealership network across the world.”
