4 million for the development and implementation of a proprietary electric microcar structure, Sero started a 4-year construction process in 2015, the results of which were presented in September 2019. The design of the Sero model family has been simplified to a minimum for low cost and low overall weight. Apart from the body made of plastic, the car has neither airbags, ABS, nor ESP system. According to South American legislation, only seat belts are required in this type of vehicle. As of 2017, it contains 85% Argentine parts. Sales of the Sero Sedan and its variants began in the second half of 2019, initially covering only the domestic Argentine market. In 2020, Sero Electric established cooperation with the Brazilian startup Movi Electric, which launched the production of Sero models under its own brand in the same year.
