The Daewoo Matiz is a compact city hatchback, with the first-generation model (1998-2000) weighing approximately 725 kg. It originally featured a 0.8-liter inline 3-cylinder gasoline engine, producing 52 horsepower and 69 N·m of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Upgrading to a 20KW Liquid-Cooled Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) kit replaces the internal combustion engine with a high-efficiency electric drive system. This kit leverages advanced liquid-cooling technology, which significantly enhances thermal management compared to traditional air cooling, allowing for sustained power output and improved durability in a compact form factor. This conversion transforms the lightweight Matiz into an efficient electric vehicle, offering instant torque delivery and modern electric propulsion.
When upgrading your manual-transmission Wuling hongguang for improved performance, our 20kW rated max 40KW 96V motor controller delivers reliable touring power while replacing the air-cooled engine. Engineered for Wuling hongguang, this system enables:

Our client from Russia, Gleb Kuznetsov, has personally converted his Daewoo Matiz. This vehicle retains the original manual transmission and maintains front-wheel drive. It currently achieves a top speed of 126 km/h, with further potential for improvement—easily reaching to higher maybe 130-140 km/h. Equipped with a self-assembled 96V 200Ah LiFePO4 battery pack, it delivers a range of 200 km. The powertrain performance is robust, and the customer is highly satisfied with the conversion results.
This video was personally produced by Gleb. The customer independently manufactured the adapter plate and spline sleeve to connect our motor to his original transmission. The powertrain delivers exceptionally strong performance. Thank you, Gleb, for your trust and support! We hope more clients will showcase your work and send enquiries our way!
Yes, we provide all electronic parts for conversion. We also provide wire diagram system, each part user manual, so you will have no obstacles for installation and connection of the system.
Yes, we provide motor spline coupler and adapter plate to install motor to original transmisison. But the original transmission’s clutch need to get removed. If you want to keep clutch, you need modify the spline coupler to clutch a bit. Because we do not have car in hand, so we bought a old transmission without clutch to make the coupler and adapter kit.
We provide two years for battery, and one year warranty for other parts. We only use top grade quality products. If any parts failure from manufacturing issues, we provide repair parts for replacement.
If we have stocks ready to go, the lead time is one weeek after order confirmed. if we have no stocks, lead time might be 4 weeks after order confirmed.
After you have discussed with sales manager all details of the order, he or she will make proforma invoice with all details and bank accounts for payment, normally payment is through bank to bank T/T. Other payment ways are also flexible to accept after discussion.
We only use top brand of cells in China, like EVE, like Gotion etc, most of the case we use EVE brand pure new and A grade cells to make pack. And in our battery pack we surely use real automobile grade BMS, not simple protection board.
We care about reputation more than our customers!
We are real manufacturer, not sales trade office/company, we started our motor production from 1995 in China. In conversion we now have more than 10 year experiencee. In the whole drive systems, we do not produce all parts, but motor we make, controller we provide CAN BUS and technical requests to our partner, same as lithium battery pack and wire hanress of the system, the design and CAN BUS are from us. other accessories like gas peda, meter etc we get from reliable partners.
Except motor and drive train solution, we also owns our own low speed electric vehicle assembly factory, its website/brand is www.gmtlsv.com
In short, we are EV expert with decades experience in China!
Yes, our key electronic components are with CE certificate for Europe markets, so at the moment, we ship to Europe like France, UK, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, Turkey etc.
We also have ISO9001 quality manage certificate.
For our EV products, we also have WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) certificate, each vehilce has its VIN number.
To some particular countries, they have requests in import or tax reduces policy such as for Africa countries and Middle East, COC or SABER might needed for import. For some countries, certificate of origin: FORM A, FORM E etc are requested. We all have experience to make for customers.
Yes, of course, our engineers who can speak English directly, video talk/email/Whatsapp they can communicate and serve customers without obstacles.
No matter before-sales or after sales, we all request in time response 24 hours and 7 days as long as we see the requests.
For necessary project, we can also send engineers to customers’ company for guide or training.
We also welcome customers to send engineers to us for onsite learning and training!
Yes, no problem, we support that. We hope customers can do longterm business so customization of his logo is OK
