AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/27 Report--

According to 36 Krypton's automotive media Future Automobile Daily, it was learned exclusively from Anhui high-tech industry and investment sources and other independent sources that Anhui SASAC is in contact with Xiaomi Automobile and intends to introduce Xiaomi Automobile into Hefei. In addition, the media reported that Jianghuai Automobile or OEM for Xiaomi Automobile, the first model is likely to focus on the market of less than 200000 yuan, and will layout the power exchange business. "the Jianghuai contract manufacturing system is mature, and the brand strength is relatively weak. Jianghuai has also accumulated a lot of contract manufacturing experience in cooperation with NIO and Volkswagen. "

Xiaomi responded that "everything is subject to official disclosure", along with a Weibo refutation of recent rumors by Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi's public relations department. Combined with the rumor refuted by Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi Public Relations Department on July 23, it seems that Xiaomi car maker has not yet been identified. Wang Hua once said publicly on Weibo: recently, some of the information about the construction of our car has become more and more outrageous, landing in Beijing and Shanghai, and deliberately emphasizing that Wuhan has not been successfully introduced. For the choice of Jianghuai Automobile OEM, Jianghuai Automobile said to Finance Network Automobile, this matter is not clear, we are listed companies, information should be based on the announcement of listed companies.

As we all know, Lulai, one of the new forces in car building, was on the verge of delisting several times before it received the support of Hefei. After receiving 7 billion yuan of investment in Hefei at a critical moment, it settled in Hefei in China. Since then, the sales volume and financing process of Lulai have also reached a new level. It can be said that without Hefei, there would be no current NIO. Li Bin once said: "Hefei let NIO come out of ICU, not only giving us funds, but more importantly, giving us confidence." Hefei has also made a lot of money because of the rise of Lulai Motor, winning the title of "the most awesome venture capital institution."

According to media reports, the development goal of the new energy vehicle industry in Anhui Province is to cultivate five influential new energy vehicle enterprises and a group of key supporting enterprises with global competitiveness from 2021 to 2023, with more than 10 well-known brands in the industry, and to build a world-class new energy vehicle and intelligent network connected automobile industry cluster. At present, Anhui has gathered more than 120 new energy vehicle companies, such as NIO, Volkswagen (Anhui) and Changan, which had planned to introduce zero-running cars, but have failed.

Xiaomi Group officially announced its entry into the car manufacturing field on March 30 this year. Since it was announced that Xiaomi Group Chairman Lei Jun frequently went to various mainframe factories to communicate with SAIC, BAIC, BYD, Great Wall and other car companies.

Since June, Xiaomi's official website has been recruiting talents related to the automotive industry, including autopilot engineers, motor development engineers, high-voltage system simulation and design engineers, power integration experts, car body architecture experts, vehicle general layout experts, etc., working in Haidian District of Beijing and Xuhui District of Shanghai. There has been media speculation that Xiaomi may have settled in Beijing or Shanghai, but have been officially denied.

At present, the location of Xiaomi Automobile headquarters is still unknown, but what is certain is that Xiaomi's car-building project is also in progress. As a member of cross-border car manufacturing, although Xiaomi has certain advantages in capital, it is obviously not realistic for car manufacturing to fully master the production line, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in the field of car manufacturing. With the continuous development of the new energy vehicle market, new energy vehicles have become a tuyere. Many enterprises, including Evergrande, Baidu, Foxconn, Didi, Xiaomi, 360 and so on, have announced the construction of cars one after another, which will face great challenges for Xiaomi Group.
