The MG iEV12 is an upcoming battery electric city bus to be produced by Chinese automaker SAIC Motor under the MG Commercial sub-brand. It is the first bus to be marketed under the MG marque.
In October 2025, MG announced MG Commercial, a new sub-brand for medium and large-sized electric buses. [1] The new brand represents a wider strategy by SAIC to produce electrified vehicles in various categories including car, van and bus. [2]
The MG iEV12 concept debuted that month at Busworld in Brussels; as of 2025, it remains a concept with no production plans. [3] MG has described it as "a bold fusion of classic MG heritage and cutting-edge electric innovation". [3]
The MG iEV12 was designed at SAIC's UK design studio and developed in Europe in cooperation with SAIC's Sunwin unit. [1] The exterior of the bus is based on the Series 9 buses produced by Sunwin. [4] It is built on the MG B12E electric chassis and integrates cell-to-pack battery technology with a battery pack height of 140 mm and a total system capacity of 417 or 489 kWh, depending on configuration. [3] The iEV12 supports both opportunity and socket charging. [3]
