AN electric mobility vehicle group is the latest firm to move into Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc (MSIP) in Dundee.
OTG, an Italian partnership, will initially manufacture a range of electric golf carts with plans to expand the range into other sustainable mobility options, based on market demand. Ten jobs will be created.
Last week, it was announced that AMTE Power, which develops and manufactures lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery cells, has chosen the Dundee site as its preferred location for a new megafactory.
MSIP’s chief executive Greig Coull said: “This is another clear demonstration of progress in delivering our ambition to create jobs and economic growth for Dundee and Scotland.”
Giorgio Cozzolino, OTG Ltd director, said: “Our business strategy is underpinned by partnerships and people, as well as our experience in business, design and technology, to develop collaborations.
Noting his intention to “bring the best of Italian design and technology to Scotland”, he added: “Our projects and business cover a wide range of sectors from the manufacturing of golf and street carts, as well as consumers goods. What they all have in common is an eye for design and style, technological advancement, and minimising any environmental impact.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
