Small Potato Program
A Solution for Small Companies
Many companies
in the light electric vehicle industry are small, just starting, or simply
lightly capitalized. They often do not know what services they will need and what issues they will face. Getting the attention of suppliers can be a
struggle, as well as trying to cover all the requirements of a complex business
on a limited budget. Nicknamed “Small Potatoes” by many in the Asian supply
chain, such companies are best served by a very flexible service package. Our
