History

edit

Founded in 2016 by Krisada Kritayakirana and Supapong Kitiwattanasak, MuvMi was supported by Thailand's National Innovation Agency.[16][17][18] MuvMi's expansion was delayed during the Covid-19 pandemic from 2020 to 2021, with the vehicles mostly used to carry goods.[16] In 2023, MuvMi announced plans to expand from 350 vehicles to 1,000 by the end of the year, and 4,000 to 5,000 within five years.[17]

The vehicles are manufactured by Thai Rung Union Car.[17]
