The upgraded Labo now has a 25% longer body against the basic model. The first model car came off the assembly line of the plant on May 25. To date, more than 200 cars have been produced.

“The new design was a requirement of the time. We studied the market and realized that customers needed the Labo with a larger body due to the demand for the transportation of oversized cargo, which would reduce transportation costs. We will monitor the demand, and if the customer likes it, we can completely switch to the production of such cars, while today we retain the ratio at 80 to 20 in favor of the old model,” the company press service reported.

The capacity of the Pitnak plant allows producing up to 5,000 Labo. The car is very popular with the commercial structures that deal with the delivery or small shipments in large cities. In conditions of congestion of modern cities with permanent traffic jams, this small and sufficiently maneuverable car has become a truly irreplaceable.

Labo is a small mini-truck with a carrying capacity of up to 550 kg. The car is a modification of the Damas model with an open side body and is designed for transportation in urban and rural areas for short distances. It is equipped with a three-cylinder engine of 0.8 liters capacity and 38 horsepower, a five-speed manual gearbox.
