History

Comarth began with the manufacture of two sports road models, both powered by original Ford engines, initially with:

• Comarth S1, 26 units.
• Comarth Xtamy, 5 units.

Subsequently, due to the higher profitability of electric vehicles, it focused solely on the manufacture of small vehicles powered by electric power, such as small urban vehicles, maintenance vehicles and golf carts, which was later expanded in 2014 to buses (T-Bus) and trucks (T-Trucks) with batteries with different charge cycles.^[2][3]

At this time, the ownership of this company is divided between its founder, who holds 13% of the shareholding, a French investor, Demeter Partners, who accumulates 49% of the company's shares,^[4] and the Mondragón Corporation since November 2013 with the remaining 38%.^[5] The company currently has commercial interests in Spain, France and Norway and a global network of distributors on all continents.
