At the event held in June 2025 in Hanoi, TMT Motors announced plans to distribute four new electric vehicle models in the second half of 2025. Among these, the Nano S05 EV stands out as the most attention-grabbing model—a compact two-seater electric car designed for densely populated urban environments.
This vehicle is a collaborative effort between TMT Motors and the Chinese brand Wuling, targeting motorcycle users looking to transition to an affordable and compact electric car.
Positioned in the mini electric vehicle segment, the Nano S05 is expected to be the first two-seater compact electric car launched in Vietnam. According to the announced schedule, the Nano S05 EV is set to debut in the market in early Q4/2025.
In terms of dimensions, the Nano S05 measures 2,400mm in length, 1,380mm in width, and 1,580mm in height. These dimensions are significantly smaller than the Wuling Mini EV, a four-seater mini electric car currently distributed by TMT Motors (2,920 x 1,493 x 1,621mm), making it the smallest car ever introduced in Vietnam to date.
The cabin of the Nano S05 EV features a two-seat layout, accommodating the driver and one passenger. The seats are ergonomically designed to ensure comfort during short trips.

While the exact price has not been disclosed, Mr. Bùi Văn Hữu, Chairman of TMT Motors, shared that the Nano S05 EV will be priced “slightly higher than a premium scooter.” For context, one of the most premium scooters currently available, the Honda SH 350i, is priced at approximately 151–152 million VND. Experts predict the Nano S05 EV could be priced around 150 million VND.

According to the manufacturer, the Nano S05 EV offers two battery options with different ranges: The standard version uses a smaller LFP battery, providing a range of approximately 120 km per charge; The premium version is equipped with a 41.9 kWh battery, extending the range to up to 150 km per charge.
This mini electric vehicle supports both fast charging at public stations and slow charging at home. It utilizes the European CCS2 charging standard, compatible with the 30,000 charging stations TMT is investing in nationwide. The battery is removable, offering added flexibility for users.
While detailed motor specifications have not been released, TMT Motors confirms that the Nano S05 EV uses a permanent magnet synchronous electric motor, optimized for urban commuting.
The vehicle’s chassis is reinforced for durability, and the suspension system features independent front suspension and a twist-beam rear suspension, ensuring stable performance even on uneven roads.
TMT Motors positions the Nano S05 EV as an ideal choice for urban commuters such as office workers, young families, students, and delivery service providers, offering agility and efficiency in city environments.
