AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/17 Report--

According to relevant media reports, Mr. Li Hongpeng, former senior executive vice president of Mercedes-Benz sales company and former president of Ford's national sales and service organization, will join Sailin Motor.

In response to the rumors, some media confirmed to Mr. Li Hongpeng that he said: "the report is wrong and is currently acting as an adviser to Chairman Sailin and giving some suggestions for the press conference of 'Sailin Night'."

Mr. Li Hongpeng has rich industry experience and excellent management skills in his career, and has successively worked as Senior Executive Vice President of Mercedes-Benz sales Company and Vice President of Marketing and sales in China. Having served the Mercedes-Benz brand for more than 10 years, Li Hongpeng resigned as Senior Executive Vice President of Mercedes-Benz sales Company in April 2018 and joined Ford as Vice President of Marketing and sales in Greater China. Less than half a year after joining, Ford China claimed that Li Hongpeng tendered his resignation and was approved for medical and family reasons.

In addition, according to sources, Hu Jun, former Vice President of Marketing and Service of Chery Jaguar Land Rover Co., Ltd., and Executive Vice President of Jaguar Land Rover China and Chirui Jaguar Land Rover (IMSS) joined Sailin Automobile in charge of marketing a year ago. I have to say, Sailin is very low-key, even personnel changes are the same.

When it comes to the brand Saleen, it may be strange, but there are always people who say, "you don't know Sailin, you don't know how to run". Founded in 1983, this brand is a maverick American brand famous for its professional production of limited and high-performance civil and racing sports cars. Although it has only more than 30 years of experience in building cars, it is regarded as the "king of supercars in the world".

It is called the "king of the world supercar" because it has won the top three in Le Mans 24-hour endurance race for three consecutive years, and participated in 17 top global series in 15 years. It has won more awards than Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin and McLaren combined.

For the Chinese side, Jiangsu Sailin Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. was jointly invested by a number of enterprises and institutions in the United Nations by the United States Sailin International Automobile Company, with a registered capital of 10 billion yuan. It is planned to open a factory in China to put into production of Sailin brand cars, including high-performance vehicles, new energy products and so on.

In addition, Sailin Auto officially announced that the famous Hollywood movie star Jason Statham has become the brand spokesman and will jointly appear at the recent "Sailin Night" event in Beijing.

Wang Xiaolin said that Sailin's urban electric car "Maimai" urban mini electric car, which is aimed at the post-90s generation who pursue freedom and fashion, is planned to be introduced to the market in March next year, and the price will also be very close to the people, with a subsidy of about 100000 yuan. It is reported that the first car of the Sailin small factory was already offline on November 15 this year. In 2019, Sailin sports cars, urban electric cars, SUV and other products may be introduced to the market one after another.
