FUTURE PROOF
Startup car company? Try looking at the existing infrastructure first, reckons Paul Horrell
I’m standing at the Paris Motor Show looking at a brave new green car. All I can think is, I might be wrong here but too often the cleverest ideas turn out to be the dumbest.
The car in question is branded NamX. It’s a biggish electric crossover that’s been designed by Pininfarina. Not a great start, mind. Of the few new cars at Paris, most were also biggish electric crossovers from startups who’ve used the otherwise underemployed Italian carrozzeria. So far then, so unexeptional, even if the NamX looks more distinctive than those others from Wey, Vinfast, BYD, et cetera.
