The future car, which has been lying flat for a long time, has become active again recently.

Recently, the official account of Future Motor has sent three tweets in which officials said that they will sign a strategic cooperation agreement with Jingang Holdings and Blue Ocean Creative. Among them, Future Motor will provide vehicle modification plans and modified parts in this cooperation. In addition, Future Motor also said: long time no see, I am back. Set up a flag for myself, I will work hard, release a lot, Meimei presents, gorgeous turn around.

It is worth mentioning that the update date of the previous post still stays on July 30, 2020. More than a year later, Future Motors has sent three tweets in succession. Is Future Motors going to build a new car?

Judging from the many tweets posted, this possibility can not be ruled out, but it is very difficult. Data show that Future Automobile was founded in February 2015, a company wholly owned by Great Wall Huaguan, which focuses on R & D, manufacturing, sales and other businesses in the field of new energy vehicles. Data show that Great Wall Huaguan was established in 2003, and its main business includes the design of traditional cars, new energy vehicles, military vehicles, as well as the research, production and sales of electric vehicles. Lu Qun, the founder of Great Wall Huaguan, is an expert in the field of automotive engineering. He holds a bachelor's degree in automotive engineering from Tsinghua University.

From the point of view of the time of development, the start of the future car is not much worse than that of NIO and Xiaopeng. While many new energy vehicle companies are still worried about the production qualification, the future automobile won the production qualification of the National Development and Reform Commission in 2016 and the production qualification of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in 2018. The first electric supercar K50 was listed in August of the same year, and the national unified price is 686800 yuan after subsidy. It can be said that it is the most expensive car in the new power of car-building in China.

As a member of the new car-building force, Future Automobile will launch the electric supercar as the first mass production model in China, which brings a certain degree of popularity to the future car to a certain extent. However, the future K50 has no obvious bright spot except for the appearance of a supercar. The comprehensive mileage of the NEDC is only 380km and the acceleration time of a hundred miles is 4.6s, which is not bright for an electric supercar priced at 700000 yuan. Relevant data show that the cumulative sales of the Future K50 in the past year and a half were only 131.

In February 2019, Future Automobile began to get into trouble, and the parent company Great Wall Huaguan also owed wages and supplier payments. Future Motors said at the time that the company did have financial problems, but it did not affect the payment of employees' salaries. At the end of 2019, Future Motor and its parent company Great Wall Huaguan thunderstorm, netizens exposed that Future Motor / Great Wall Huaguan owed employees' wages, and also used employee information for loans, but the actual loans did not pay employees' wages. In November 2020, Future Motors was revealed to have broken its capital chain, withdrew its first store in Sanlitun and emptied its delivery center in Jingang Automobile Park.

According to Tianyan survey data, the total amount of persons subject to execution of the current Future Automobile is 300 million yuan, and the total amount of outstanding cases is 300 million yuan. Lu Qunchao, chairman of Future Automobile, has been listed as a restricted high consumer by the court for 400 times.

From January to November, retail sales of narrow passenger cars in China totaled 18.041 million, an increase of 6.1 percent over the same period last year, according to the Federation of passengers. Among them, the sales of new energy passenger cars in the narrow sense totaled 2.514 million, an increase of 178.3% over the same period last year. At present, the domestic new energy vehicle market is hot. New power brands such as NIO, Xiaopeng, ideal and Nezha are rising one after another, and their sales continue to reach an all-time high. In this context, as the first to get the production qualification of the future car, it seems to have a plan to re-enter the market development, but lie flat for a year, in the context of high debt, how to break the situation?
