History
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]
