New electric cars IT Box - made for taxis and car sharing
Beijing Zhixing Box Automobile presented two prototypes electric vehicles under the brand IT Box. These cars are designed for taxi and car sharing services. The main feature of the models is the absence of a front passenger seat.
The Chinese firm Beijing Zhixing Box Automobile is a division of Zhixing Technology, a computer software company. In the wake of Tesla's popularity and the development of electric car production in China, the new brand also decided to try its hand.
Realizing that it is difficult to get into a business that has already seen its leaders from scratch, Beijing Zhixing Box Automobile is targeting a narrow niche. These are taxis and carsharing, which will like the dimensions of large electric cars and their impressive range.

Two were shown in Beijing car models BM-400 and BM-600. The minimum range of the basic electric car is 420 km. The maximum range of the top model BM-600 is 600 km, which is probably indicated by the name.
The manufacturer chose not to cover other technical features of new cars. It is only known that the platform here is of its own design called Octopus, the suspensions are traditional - McPherson and semi-independent at the rear.
Externally, electric cars look unusual, and this is putting it mildly. Most of all, they resemble cars from films about the future. But in fact, the design is functional, and the design is simplified as much as possible for the speedy launch of prototypes in the series.
The unification of two electric cars BM-400 and BM-600 reaches 95%. The only technical differences are the length and installation of batteries of different capacities. The body of the VM-600 is 4 mm versus 900 mm for the VM-4. All other dimensions of the two electric cars are the same.
Inside each prototype there is a vending machine for the sale of drinks - an additional idea for earning money! The salons have two rows of passenger seats, but in the BM-400 model they are for three people, and in the BM-600 - for 4. One seat in the cabin of any modification for the main client - it looks more like a luxurious chair.

Serial production of short-wheelbase electric cars is promised to be established by the end of 2023. Long-base models should appear in the second half of 2024.
But there are many nuances - most likely, Beijing Zhixing Box Automobile is looking for investors, since the manufacturer does not have its own car plant.
It remains only to wait - if potential buyers are interested, then the money for launching the series will appear.
