Most conversations about electric vehicles start with what happens on the road. At FUNTI, they also start in the workshop. Our manufacturing base in Taizhou, Zhejiang is powered in part by two solar arrays, and we publish the numbers rather than the promise: since the first array came online in November 2024, they have generated 10,366 MWh of electricity — about 10.37 GWh — used to power the plant that builds our electric motorcycles.
An electric motorcycle is only as clean as the factory that makes it. A company can sell zero-emission vehicles while running its welding, painting, machining and testing lines on the dirtiest power on the grid, and the carbon saved on the road is partly handed back at the production line. That is why FUNTI treats the factory floor as part of the product: the same engineering standards that go into a NITRO or a MOUCCA apply to how the plant behind them is powered.
Over the 12 months from October 2025 to September 2026, the two arrays produced 5,878 MWh (5.88 GWh) between them. Measured against China's official 2023 national grid average emission factor of 0.5306 kg CO2/kWh, that is roughly 3,119 tonnes of CO2 that did not have to be produced to make our motorcycles — about the same as the annual sequestration of some 170,435 trees.
Cumulatively, from the first array's first full month through September 2026, generation has reached 10,366 MWh, avoiding an estimated 5,500 tonnes of CO2 compared with drawing the same electricity from the grid.
The pattern in the data is the pattern you would expect from a real installation rather than a marketing render: output climbs through the spring, peaks in August (Array 1 produced 355 MWh in August 2025; Array 2 produced 457 MWh in August 2025 and 437 MWh in July 2026), and falls back sharply in the short, grey days of December and January. Monsoon cloud, haze and winter daylight are all visible in the bars. Nobody gets to publish a flat line and call it honesty.
For importers and distributors, this is no longer an abstract concern. Industrial buyers in Europe, and increasingly in other markets, are asked by their own customers and regulators to account for the embedded carbon in what they sell. A supplier who can show metered clean generation at the plant is easier to put in a tender document than one who can only offer a sustainability page.
It also changes the economics. Self-generated solar covers a share of plant consumption, which reduces exposure to electricity price swings — the same logic that makes an electric motorcycle attractive to a courier in the first place, applied one step upstream.
• Two solar arrays at FUNTI's Taizhou manufacturing base, generating since November 2024.
• 10,366 MWh generated to date; 5,878 MWh in the last 12 months.
• An estimated 5,500 tonnes of CO2 avoided across the period, using China's official 2023 grid emission factor.
FUNTI builds electric motorcycles in Taizhou Bay New District with an annual production capacity of 100,000 units, and exports to markets across Asia, Europe, South America, Africa and the Middle East. The product side of that story is well known to our partners: full-size sport models, urban commuters and high-performance flagships, with CKD and fully-assembled shipment options.
The manufacturing side is quieter, and we intend to keep reporting it. Solar generation on site is one measurable part of it — not a claim about being finished, but a number that can be checked and improved year over year.
