The platform will be equipped with advanced connectivity features which will play a key role in autonomous technology.

The company has already confirmed that it plans to launch ten new electric cars by 2026. The report says that large EVs based on the Avinya concept will be able to deliver a range of 500 km on a single charge, which should be around 370 km in real world range.
