Start‑up and Industrial Planning Period (2017–2019)
The operating entity of Huazi Auto—Jiangsu Huazi Auto Industry Co., Ltd.—was registered on May 31, 2017, with registered capital of 26,666.67 ten thousand RMB, located at Jiedong Village, Jiepai Town, Danyang City (later moved to Jurong Economic Development Zone). 2018 to 2019 was a critical phase for Huazi's dedicated R&D and product strategic planning, during which the company completed integration and layout in areas such as new energy vehicle core technologies and vehicle model architectures. Huazi Auto gradually became the main brand under Huazi Auto Industry, and obtained national dual‑catalog production qualifications for new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles early on.
National Car Project and First Model Stage (2020–2021)
The Huazi National Car Jurong project officially launched in 2020, also known as the Huazi National Car C Platform project. The first phase investment was 2.6 billion RMB, capable of forming an annual production capacity of 250,000 new energy passenger cars. Huazi Auto successively obtained full vehicle export licenses in the 2020 Chinese official announcement system, while the company simultaneously carried out patent layout and industry‑university‑research cooperation in areas such as electric vehicle battery assembly equipment and bracket welding tooling. In June 2021, Huazi No. 1 officially rolled off the assembly line and went on sale, adopting front and rear dual‑motor layout and lithium iron phosphate battery systems. The guide price for Huazi No. 1 on the market was 29,800 RMB to 49,800 RMB, launching various configurations including economy, comfort, and luxury models. In November of the same year, Huazi Ou Mai Jia passed the announcement and was officially launched to the market in October 2022, featuring dual‑door four‑seat micro‑pure electric SUVs and other characteristics. In December of the same year, Huazi Auto, along with its industrial holding parent company and the government, jointly promoted the export product access certification work.
Capacity Expansion and New Energy Base Construction (2022–2023)
The new energy vehicle model production base at No. 66 Wenchang West Road, Jurong Economic Development Zone was completed, and the Jurong Branch of Jiangsu Huazi Auto Industry Co., Ltd. was also established on April 19, 2022. The company takes the Wenchang West Road factory as the focus, continuing to deepen the layout of flexible manufacturing capabilities for the four major processes of stamping‑welding‑painting‑assembly. In September 2022, Huazi Auto held a ceremony for bulk vehicle delivery, with the first batch of 110 new energy vehicles sent to Henan, Hebei and other regions. In 2023, Huazi Auto gradually handled relevant procedures for full vehicle export and prepared for external expansion. In November 2023, the "Annual Production of 500,000 New Energy Passenger Cars Project" complementary to the mid‑to‑long‑term manufacturing planning was approved for environmental assessment, with the first phase specialised planning annual production capacity of more than 250,000 new energy passenger cars (C‑class multi‑functional platform). The acquisition of more than 200 patents and various intellectual property certificates marks Huazi Auto's direction towards a higher‑level technical centre.
Full Series Product Expansion and Commercial Vehicle Industry Layout (2024–2025)
Huazi Auto has constituted a product combination of micro‑passenger cars, light passenger cars, special commercial vehicles, and is actively developing towards the foreign market. Since 2024, the standard configuration of four‑wheel drive system in the Ou Mai Jia series maintains differentiation in the micro market. At the same time, apart from the overall layout of new energy models, Huazi's diesel commercial vehicle model Huazi Sprinter is gradually completing design and announcement filing. In 2025, Huazi Auto Industry and the newly established shareholder system in Jurong underwent industrial adjustment, focusing on the release of distributed and customised capacity. In October 2025, Jiangsu Huazi Special Vehicle Manufacturing Co., Ltd. was registered, with Lu Shusheng serving as the legal representative, registered capital of 10,000 ten thousand RMB, positioned as a special vehicle full vehicle manufacturing and R&D industry. Around 2026, Huazi Auto continues to submit applications to the National Intellectual Property Administration quarterly, obtaining a new patent for an automotive battery assembly equipment with calibration function and a patent for an automotive battery assembly equipment that can prevent jamming. The brand has thus largely completed the industrial strategic framework from low‑speed exploration to full‑process high‑automation direction development.
Huazi Auto's product line covers new energy micro‑cars, light passenger cars, traditional power commercial vehicles, and special vehicle sub‑fields, with a relatively large coverage of the vehicle matrix. The currently publicised main vehicle series are as follows:

Huazi No. 2. The economic micro‑electric vehicle that may be launched by Huazi Auto in the next development stage, with some discussion content mentioned online in the early stage, but not officially launched as of 2026.
Since the launch of its first model in 2021, Huazi Auto's overall sales scale has always been relatively small, remaining on the periphery of China's micro‑electric vehicle market for a long time.
In the early stages of Huazi No. 1's launch, it was evaluated by the media as a competitive model striving to benchmark against Hongguang MINIEV and Leding Mango, but due to its NEDC range of only 101 km and lack of outstanding highlights in appearance and configuration compared to similar models, market acceptance was relatively low. This car did not achieve breakthrough heat at the consumer level, and early dealer pickup batches were mainly through B‑side or government project buyback as the main channel, with limited terminal retail influence. As of around 2024, Huazi No. 1 has almost been delisted or is in a state of discontinued production and sales.
Ou Mai Jia is the main sales model within the brand. In December 2025, the total sales volume of all models of the brand was 2 vehicles (of which Ou Mai Jia accounted for 2 / Huazi No. 1 accounted for 0 / Huazi Sprinter did not appear effective sales), ranking at the end of China brand terminal net sales. Across the entire brand, it only maintains filing and sporadic order status in the domestic micro‑car and commercial light passenger car fields, but basically maintained relatively limited inventory and B‑side delivery in 2025. Sales records and compulsory traffic insurance data for Huazi Sprinter are almost invisible on public platforms.
According to the investor Q&A platform, the subsidiaries of Huazi Auto as a whole are in a state where overseas business has not yet been laid out. Ou Mai Jia EV's domestic monthly average statistics at the end of 2025 often fall into the single‑digit delivery category, compared to competitors like Wuling Hongguang MINIEV (monthly sales of thousands to thousands of vehicles), the market challenges faced by Huazi Auto are extremely difficult.
Huazi Auto possesses an independent and autonomous technical system in the fields of new energy full vehicle manufacturing and special vehicle R&D, with breakthroughs specifically in micro‑electric vehicle differentiated drive and commercial vehicle components and other technical directions.
Powertrain and Electric Drive Technology is the most iconic technical characteristic of Huazi Auto. The Ou Mai Jia series comes standard with a dual‑motor four‑wheel drive assembly, capable of realising front/rear/rear axle torque control under electronic limited slip conditions on each of the four wheels. The vehicle's front axle is equipped with a maximum power 4 kW motor, the rear axle is equipped with a maximum power 20 kW motor (peak total power 24 kW), forming a "front light rear heavy" torque distribution structure. This four‑wheel drive function can be manually switched between electric four‑wheel drive mode and rear‑wheel drive two‑wheel drive mode based on road conditions or user choice, improving passing safety when the vehicle is off‑road/snowy conditions, and can also improve range and energy consumption economy in daily road conditions.
Battery Energy System and Charging Technology. Huazi Auto's main battery systems all adopt the lithium iron phosphate technology route, and lithium iron phosphate has strong adaptability in heat resistance performance and structural cycle life. Huazi No. 1 uses 9.6 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery cells, fully charged in 6 hours via slow charging; later Ou Mai Jia adopts 10.24 kWh or 18.43 kWh same‑type lithium iron phosphate battery packs supplied by Tianneng New Energy and Aerospace Lithium. In terms of charging configuration, all Huazi micro‑car models are not equipped with DC fast charging modules, which makes its usage convenience level only level with or lower than same‑price models. Since the second half of 2025, Huazi Auto's intellectual property platform level applied for two patents: "Automotive Battery Assembly Equipment with Calibration Function" and "Automotive Battery Assembly Equipment That Can Prevent Jamming," indicating that its power battery industrial assembly process has already possessed some high‑new component grading adjustment and protection functions.
Vehicle Safety and Structural Innovation. Micro‑cars all adopt unibody structure. In the R&D aspect of supporting traditional models after 2017, Huazi also focused on R&D of bracket stability welding technology and pickup truck foldable waterproof trunk lid and other functions.
Huazi Auto's export business had sporadic progress in the early stages. Since 2021, Jiangsu Huazi Auto Industry has supported and cooperated with provincial and municipal commerce departments to carry out full vehicle export license qualification certification review and mandatory product certification procedures, helping enterprises strive for external export orders. Around June 2022, Huazi Auto successfully obtained full vehicle export license in the Zhenjiang Municipal Government Service System Information. In the first half of 2023, a Jiangsu local media reported that Huazi had completed the processing of new energy vehicle export procedures and was ready to expand into the international market. But according to the 2024‑2025 enterprise actual declaration disclosure arrangement, the company announced externally that it has not yet actually started overseas business. As of 2025‑2026, Huazi Auto's overseas layout is in a basically stalled and waiting to be opened stage.
In contrast, when Huazi revealed news in 2023, some media predicted that it might have unique technical characteristics more suitable for the North American market through the electric four‑wheel drive car "Ou Mai Jia EV"—manual control electric four‑wheel drive torque distribution method or conducive to obtaining special demand purchasing power in overseas regional markets, but none were finally implemented as substantial export orders.
Huazi Auto will focus on two main lines of new energy micro‑cars and special vehicles in the future, deepening the differentiated technical route of manual control electric four‑wheel drive schemes in the sub‑field of small pure electric vehicles.
From the perspective of capacity and industrialisation, the company is expected to focus on the "National Car C Platform" and the Wenchang West Road new energy passenger car project's second phase deepening adjustment and capacity expansion. This platform will plan to have potential for annual output of hundreds of thousands of levels of full vehicles, involving different models layout of high, medium, and low configurations and C‑class multi‑functional vehicle series. At the same time, Huazi Auto Industry established Jiangsu Huazi Special Vehicle Manufacturing Co., Ltd., intending to explore special vehicles, modified vehicles and special vehicles related markets, forming a passenger car + special vehicle complementary development pattern. In the light passenger car field, more special and commercial configuration products such as Huazi Sprinter will gradually land according to policy and order rhythm, expanding the company's market survival foundation. Huazi also attaches importance to continuous R&D investment; patents such as "Automotive Bracket Welding Tooling" and "Battery Adaptive Assembly Equipment" in patents prove that it continues to carry out high‑intensity optimisation and upgrading in production process automation design and workshop assembly accuracy improvement.
Huazi Auto also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with institutions such as Dali Zongsheng Intelligent Technology in 2022, intending to carry out more extensive resource cooperation in product R&D, channel construction, activity creativity, and other aspects. But in terms of comprehensive terminal sales, Huazi Auto needs to carry out large‑scale reform in brand marketing, product power, and new model cycle management.
