3.PATEO CONNECT+
The future is already here. In PATEO’s vision, the intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) is no longer a simple means of transportation, but a space for carrying various forms of businesses and services. Beauty salons, healthcare & fitness, kid’s education, pet care, light coffee, maintenance, etc., most of what we need in our daily life can take the intelligent vehicle (IV) as their platform. At the same time, they also create a third commercial market apart from the offline and online markets, which is what we call the on-demand service. How to leverage the IoV to develop the new online economy? PATEO has developed ICVs into mobile stores, achieving mutual benefit and win-win results with vehicle buyers who are small shop owners.
