Tropos Technologies is a San Jose, CA-based distributor and developer of the Cenntro METRO electric compact utility vehicle (CUV). The company helped design and develop the METRO, which is already widely available in Europe and Asia. Tropos positions the METRO for local delivery, maintenance crew transport, parking enforcement, and people transport on campuses and in communities. The METRO is a street-legal 10 kW low-speed vehicle with optional ranges up to 120 miles, a top speed up to 40 mph (per local laws), an estimated 145 MPGe, and on-road payload capacity up to 1,200 pounds. The vehicle is offered in pickup bed, cargo box, and tradesman configurations that can be modified before or after purchase. Tropos closed a $1.2M seed round and intends to use the funds to develop its U.S. E-LSV dealer network to bring the METRO to the U.S. market.
