EuAuto Technology Limited was a company in Hong Kong that developed the MyCar electric automobile. The company specialized in "design, develop, manufacture and sales of environmentally friendly vehicles for global markets."[citation needed]

On 24 May 2010, GreenTech Automotive (GTA) acquired EuAuto Technology.[1] GreenTech Automotive relocated the company's operations and manufacturing to the United States. GreenTech Automotive's first manufacturing facility was temporarily in Horn Lake, Mississippi.[2] GreenTech Automotive declined an Associated Press request to tour the Horn Lake manufacturing facility.[3] GreenTech produced few cars, if any.[4] GreenTech declared bankruptcy in February 2018.[5][6]
