AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)10/19 Report--

Recently, it has been learned from official channels that HYCAN, a brand-new brand owned by Guangzhou Automobile NIO, announced that its first SUV concept car will be blindly ordered on October 22.

The so-called blind order, that is, in the case of not knowing the pricing, pay a certain amount of money to buy a car sales method, officially announced the price after the use of more refund less compensation form, Tesla, Wei Lai and other new forces have used the "blind order" way.

It is understood that the first concept SUV of Hechuang brand has been officially unveiled in May this year. This car will be mass-produced in GAC Zhilian New Energy Automobile Industrial Park and officially released at the end of this year. It is expected to be delivered in the first half of 2020.

As the first model of GAC NIO, GAC and NIO have invested a lot of energy and resources. Liao Bing, founder and CEO of GAC NIO, said that the first model absorbed the advantages between the two, and there will be a big difference in products in the future. In addition, Liao Bing also revealed that the new car will adopt a brand-new BEV pure electric platform, estimated comprehensive range of more than 650 kilometers.

According to the data, GAC NIO was established in April 2018, and GAC NIO New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. was jointly funded by GAC Group, GAC New Energy, Shanghai NIO Automobile and Changjiang NIO New Energy Industry Development Fund Partnership. The newly established company will be dedicated to the R & D, sales and service of intelligent networked new energy vehicles. The planned total investment is RMB 1.28 billion yuan and the registered capital is RMB 500 million yuan, of which GAC Group contributes RMB 45 million yuan according to 22.5% share ratio and GAC New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. contributes RMB 45 million yuan according to 22.5% share ratio. The source of funds is the overall planning of the Company.

However, Guangqi NIO was controversial at the beginning of its establishment. Some insiders said that HeChuang was the product used by GAC and NIO to collect money. GAC was responsible for the R & D and production of the whole vehicle, and NIO was responsible for the intelligent network interconnection technology and energy system support, but it has not been recognized by the automobile market since its establishment.

In fact, cooperation between automobile enterprises is not rare, Jianghuai Volkswagen, Zhongtai Ford and so on are examples, so is NIO Automobile, successively with Jianghuai, Chang 'an, Guangzhou Automobile three automobile enterprises cooperation. Jianghuai is responsible for the contract manufacturing of NIO Automobile. Chang 'an and NIO have had no news since they registered in August 2018. By contrast, Guangqi NIO's progress is faster.

However, the current situation of NIO is also difficult to say optimistic, NIO automobile financing is the most among all the new forces of car building, but at present it is still suffering from financial problems. It is understood that NIO Automobile established "NIO China" after signing an agreement with GAC, and Yizhuang invested 10 billion yuan in "NIO China", but it can only solve the urgent needs of NIO. Recently, the 5 billion yuan financing negotiated between NIO Automobile and Wu Xing County in Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province has also failed. Obviously, it is difficult to focus on Guangqi NIO when NIO is in urgent need of a large amount of financial support.

On the other hand, GAC has laid out the new energy automobile market since 2017, established GAC New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd., and established GAC NIO in joint venture with NIO. From this point of view, GAC NIO is no different from the traditional joint venture company.

From the perspective of automobile products and sales models from Guangzhou Automobile Wei, it is no different from the new force of car building. In short, Guangqi NIO did not follow the traditional joint venture automobile enterprise in the aspect of car building. Guangqi NIO is more like doing new things under the banner of traditional car building.

However, in any case, the development of the first model of Guangqi NIO's co-creation brand is also completed, and the release time is not long, but for Guangqi NIO and co-creation brand concept car, some netizens said,"Guangqi wants to be dragged to death?" "Why does this car look like a zero?"
