Rooted in Research and Development

We believe everyone has the right to smart technology. We're committed to finding ways to offer affordable smart cars to an overlooked population who's dreams matter. We want those in lower income environments to be able to buy a smart vehicle that can get them safely to the future they're working so hard for, while reducing their vehicle debt.

THREE COUNTRIES FOR AN INSPIRING SOLUTION

A collective of veteran engineers from Hong Kong, France and Canada came together to solve a global problem: access. We formed Startec and together we've made remarkable strides in the automotive industry. Today, Startec is rapidly emerging as a global leader in the development of environmentally friendly, smart, and user-friendly light vehicles.

TESTED IN CAMBODIA

Why? Because if a Startec vehicle can survive the weather, terrain, road conditions in Cambodia, they can survive anywhere. If a Startec vehicle can provide ease and safety to the lives of Cambodians, it stands a great chance of doing the same in other Developing Nations that also lack infrastructure and access to emergency care. Startec Vehicles meet European regulation standards as well!
