Today, an entry for "is Yadi going to build a car" went on the popular search site on Weibo. As of press time, the entry has been read 49.95 million times and discussed as many as 6580.

It is understood that the origin of this entry is a video posted by a master truck driver on the Internet. From the video screenshots released, we can see that the relevant staff of Yadi are dismantling several vehicles. Many sharp-eyed netizens found from the screen that the vehicles dismantled by Yadi staff included Lamborghini, Tesla model3/modelY and other models, which also triggered netizens' speculation about whether Yadi is also going to enter the car-building field. However, officials have not yet responded to the video.

In this regard, some netizens commented: at present, although Yadi has not released official information, but looking at the current situation of Yadi, it is also possible to expand the market, in any case, or look forward to the follow-up development of Yadi. Another netizen said: it's not groundless, it feels like it's in the near future. Judging from netizens' comments, almost most netizens think that Yadi has the possibility to enter into building cars.

In fact, netizens' guess is not unreasonable. After all, the auto industry noticed that Yadi had posted job postings for chassis engineer, automotive electronic instrument engineer, intelligent cockpit senior product manager and other positions as early as 2022. From the perspective of recruitment requirements, all require some industry experience, among which the requirements for automotive electronic instrument engineers include decomposing the car parts list, evaluating the instrument function and whether the whole vehicle configuration is reasonable or not.

Data show: Yadi Technology Group Co., Ltd. was established in 2001, headquartered in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. The company mainly focuses on R & D, production and sales of electric bicycles, electric mopeds, electric motorcycles and their spare parts. In May 2016, Yadi was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first listed company in China's electric vehicle industry. In 2018, the annual global sales of Yadi electric cars reached 5.03 million units, with a total of more than 30 million users worldwide. In 2019, Yadi Vietnam high-end intelligent manufacturing base was put into production, the products cover Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States market. In 2020, Yadi Jinzhai high-end intelligent manufacturing base in Anhui Province was set up and put into production in September.

In the first half of 2023, Yadi sold a total of 8.2107 million electric two-wheelers, an increase of 33.81% over the same period last year. In addition to sales, its earnings figures are also good. Data show that Yadi Holdings achieved operating income of 17.041 billion yuan in the first half of 2023, an increase of 21.3% over the same period last year, and a net profit of 1.188 billion yuan, an increase of 32.11% over the same period last year.

Judging from Yadi's sales and financial results, it is not impossible to enter into building cars. In recent years, with the rapid development of new energy vehicles, more and more technology companies are not willing to play a supporting role in the automobile industry. However, cross-border car building is not an easy task, in addition to the need for strong funding as a backing, but also the accumulation of technology and R & D experience. Yadi is also a layman when it comes to building cars, and if he really chooses to go into building cars, he will face a series of challenges.

After all, the race track of new energy vehicles is becoming more and more crowded and the competition is becoming more intense. It is not easy for newcomers to catch up with the dividends of the era of new energy vehicles. As BYD ceo Wang Chuanfu said, the new energy car market is a market where "fast fish eat slow fish". If newcomers do not have absolute strength, it will not only be very difficult to catch up with the dividends of the new energy vehicle era, but may also be dragged down by car building, and they can only look for "white knights" in the end.
