AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/16 Report--

Recently, according to the latest "Road Motor vehicle production Enterprises and products announcement" (batch 372) released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Mahayana V07 has been declared by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

From the declaration information, the appearance of Mahayana V07 is similar to that of the previous NV. The new car has only a slight adjustment in size, with 4915/1962/1755mm in length, width and height, 2910mm in wheelbase, and improved in width, height and wheelbase compared with NV. Refer to the size of the self-tour NV, its length, width and height are 4915/1950/1750mm, and the wheelbase is 2900mm. The LOGO of the new car has been changed from "NIUTRON" to "DOCAN". The name of the rear of the car is V07.

At present, the new car only declares a pure electric version, which will be equipped with front and rear motors with maximum power of 140kW. The energy storage device will provide two versions of Xinwangda ternary lithium battery or honeycomb energy lithium iron phosphate battery. The appearance of the model on the publicity list may also mean that Mahayana has regained its production qualifications.

Many people may be unfamiliar with Mahayana cars, but when it comes to traveling, they may be more familiar with them. Mahayana car is the contract factory of self-travelers, and it used to make NV for self-travelers. Relevant data show that Mastercar is a new Chinese independent car brand founded by Wu Xiao, the son of original Zhongtai Chairman Wu Jianzhong, which was established in December 2014. In July 2018, it changed its name to Mahayana Motor Co., Ltd., and in April 2019, it changed to Mahayana Automobile Group Co., Ltd. Daisheng Motor has two major production bases in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province and Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province, and its qualifications include passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and new energy vehicles. It is an enterprise with the qualifications of both traditional energy vehicles and new energy vehicles.

It can be said that there is a deep relationship between self-travelers and Mahayana cars. Ziyou car-building project was established in November 2018, and Jiangsu Niu Innovation Energy Technology Co., Ltd. completed registration in December 2020. In December 2021, Niu Innovation Energy officially launched its new automobile brand "NIUTRON", and named it "self-traveler" in Chinese. On October 5, 2022, Niu Innovation Energy announced that in order to avoid users from confusing the relationship between the "NIUTRON" and "self-traveler" brands and Niu Innovation Energy, the company officially changed its name to "Martian Technology Co., Ltd." and the name "Niu Innovation Energy" will not be used in any scenario. It is worth noting that Niu Innovation Energy obtains the production qualification by leasing Mahayana cars. Mahayana is not only responsible for contract production, but also has the right to use the brand, while Martian Technology is mainly responsible for leasing factories and providing related technology and design materials.

In October 2022, the self-traveler NV officially listed, the new car positioning medium and large SUV, the price is 27.88-318800 yuan, power to provide pure electric and add two power options. According to officials, more than 20,000 intended orders were received within 48 hours of the launch of the new car, which is scheduled to be delivered to users in December. However, due to the factory shutdown due to debt reasons, the production qualification of Mahayana failed, and the mass production of NV was also forced to stop.

December 2022, since the official release of a "letter to NV users", the letter said that due to its own reasons, NV can not be delivered in a short period of time, the wonderful journey is coming to an end before it begins. At the same time, officials said they would get a full refund within 48 hours and prepare a NV model and a 200-yuan Starbucks card for car owners as promised. After that, since the official App announced the suspension of service, Weibo has been emptied and the official website has been suspended.

As we all know, as the tuyere of new energy vehicles is narrowing, it is becoming more and more difficult for new forces to obtain production qualifications, and new energy qualifications have gradually become scarce resources. Mahayana holds double qualifications, and the launch of Mahayana V07 may be a resurrection from the dead that is not willing to play a supporting role. However, affected by the previous withdrawal of NV, Mahayana V07 will face great challenges even if it can be listed smoothly.
