August 2026, the automotive industry repeatedly mentioned a term — “Speed-build cars”.
In the industry, some new cars have development cycles compressed to 18 months or even 12 months, parts verification passes in one round, durability road tests are cut in half directly. Cars go on the market first, users act as “test drivers”, problems lead to OTA recalls later, becoming routine operation for some automakers. What consumers buy is “half-baked cars” — products that are half-baked, things to be verified weren’t, things to be run weren’t completed.
August 12, Chery Fengyun T7 launched pre-sales, putting out a completely opposite tag — “Global car cannot be fast at all”. 109,900 RMB to 129,900 RMB, three configurations. Full system unified 65.05kWh Rhinoceros Battery, CLTC range 600km.
The 16th Hexagram of the “I Ching” is “Yu”, Upper Zhen Lower Kun, Thunder rises from the earth and stirs. The hexagram text says, with preparation, there will be no panic. The 17th Hexagram is “Sui”, Upper Dui Lower Zhen, Thunder in the marsh. The hexagram text says, move in accordance with the timing, achieving smoothness and success. First comes Yu, then comes Sui. Fengyun T7 spent four years completing “preparation”, then used today’s product to respond to the market’s “timing”.
Fengyun T7 is not a “China Special” car made for domestic first then exported. Its overseas homologous model is called LEPAS L6, already pre-sold in South Africa, launched in Thailand, subsequently entering the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and more than 130 other countries and regions. A car must meet regulatory standards of so many countries simultaneously, the R&D starting point is different.
In terms of safety, Fengyun T7 targets the 2026 version E-NCAP 5-star standard, functional safety reaches ASIL D highest level. The 2026 version E-NCAP breaks vehicle safety down into four pillars: safe driving, collision avoidance, collision protection, and post-collision safety. If any item has obvious weakness, 5-star rating cannot be achieved. Body adopts 80% high-strength steel, hot-formed steel accounts for 18.84%, nine cross five longitudinal cage body structure. Most safety airbags in class 9 airbags, including 48L dual-chamber far-end airbags and rear side airbags. Rhinoceros Battery IP68 water resistance reaches 96 times national standard.
These standards are not added later, they were written into product definition from the first day of R&D.
Chery Automobile Executive Vice President Li Xueyong said, Fengyun T7’s four-year cycle was spent on three “cannot be fast” places — R&D cannot be fast, products need repeated polishing; verification cannot be fast, reliability needs real scenario testing; global user co-creation cannot be fast, need to hear voices from different markets.
81 exclusive durability cars simultaneous road testing, vehicle cumulative test mileage over 6 million kilometers, durability special actual measured 1.45 million kilometers. Covers -40°C to 55°C full range environment, covers 95% global road types. Conducted extreme real car trials for different global regions such as Southeast Asian rainy season, Middle East high-temperature sun exposure, Indonesia high humidity, etc.
Global invested 963 test cars. 5000+ global user research, 15 typical countries in-depth visits. Optimized product design starting from actual vehicle usage needs, not engineers guessing what users want in the office.
Fengyun T7’s “Global Verification” is not going overseas to run around for show, it includes global different markets’ regulations, road conditions, user habits into the verification system from the R&D stage. European users habit car front into storage, vehicle within 70cm automatically displays front camera. Thai users prefer heavier steering hand feel, engineers increase steering force by one level. Turkey and Israel users prefer physical buttons, high-frequency functions keep physical switches. Indonesia bumpy road sections make users lack sense of security, engineers optimize steering return quality. These details are not post-event patches, they are adaptations included in consideration from the R&D stage.
Fengyun T7’s pricing is the last link of this “Global Standards” logic. 109,900 RMB to 129,900 RMB, three configurations price difference is 10,000 RMB each, battery unified 65.05kWh, range unified 600km. No lower configuration cutting range, higher configuration adding range graded premium tricks.
Put this price on the market, in the same price range pure electric SUVs, full series 600km range, full series 9 airbags, full series 8775 chip, full series independent rear suspension models, currently only Fengyun T7 one model.
The meaning of this price is not only “cheap”, but “buy products verified with global standards with national prices”. Fengyun T7 ran verification process overseas first, then landed domestically with China market pricing logic. Homologous model LEPAS L6 price in Thailand about 160,000 RMB, domestic pre-sale 109,900 starting — same set of global standards, two pricing logics. Overseas verification costs shared by global sales, domestic consumers enjoy price dividends brought by scale effects.
Smart Cockpit. Class first 4nm process Qualcomm SA8775 Cockpit-Driver integrated chip. 15.6 inch 2.5K HD large screen, Lingxi Smart Cockpit 2.0 equipped with Doubao Large Model. Falcon 500 Smart Driving equipped with 22 high-precision sensors.
Comfortable and solid. 2700mm wheelbase, 84% utilization rate. Seats folded down form 1955mm×1310mm pure flat large bed. Chassis involved senior engineer from former Maserati in tuning.
109,900 to 129,900 RMB price range, let this set of global standard products entered China mainstream family selectable range.
First half of 2026, Chery in Europe cumulative sales 174,000 units, among them new energy 86,000 units, year-on-year growth 385%. For every 5 cars exported from China, 1 comes from Chery. Consecutive 23 years China brand passenger car export No.1.
Fengyun T7’s “Global Rebound” is not a slogan, it is solid verification result. The gold content of this logic does not lie in the export quantity itself, but in the standards, systems, and quality cognition behind the export. When the industry is still consuming each other with price wars, Chery uses a car verified by global market, pulling competition back from “who is cheaper” to “who is more trustworthy”.
Yu Hexagram says “Prepare for the unexpected”, Sui Hexagram says “Move according to timing”. First spend four years preparing global standards, then use this car to respond to the market’s “timing”. Global verification, Chinese prices — this is Fengyun T7 “Global car cannot be fast at all” true meaning.
8 月 12 日，奇瑞風雲 T7 正式開啟預售，預售價 9.98 萬 -13.98 萬元。在純電緊湊型 SUV 市場早已是"神仙打架"嘅當下，這台以"慢功造好車，久等了"為主題嘅車型，用"全系 600km 續航不分高低配"嘅激進策略，向零跑 B10、比亞迪元 PLUS、豐田鉑智 3X 等同級竞品發起了正面挑戰。那麼，奇瑞風雲 T7 如此預售價到底香唔香？未來正式上市價格還會下探嗎？
核心亮點：全球品質 + 續航平權 + 智能滿配
風雲 T7 嘅產品力，可以用"三個全系標配"來概括。首先係全系續航平權——搭載 65.05kWh 犀牛電池，CLTC 續航 600km，實測續航可達 667km，反向虛標。30%-80% 快充僅 22 分鐘，一杯咖啡補能 300km。在同級車型普遍採用"低配短續航、高配長續航"策略嘅當下，風雲 T7"一碗水端平"嘅做法，直接消解咗用戶嘅續航焦慮。
其次係全球品質背書。風雲 T7 並非國內開發再簡單改款出海，而係同步面向全球 210 個國家和地區開發嘅全球車型。同源車型 Lepas L6 已在南非、泰國上市，經海外市場真實檢驗後回歸國內。新車歷經 2 年策劃、3 年研發，按 2026 版 E-NCAP 五星安全標準打造，投入 81 台耐久車、累計測試超 600 萬公里，覆蓋 -40℃至 55℃全域環境。
第三係智能配置。風雲 T7 搭載同級首發嘅 4nm 艙駕一體 8775 芯片，72TOPS NPU 算力，系統響應低至 80ms。15.6 英寸 2.5K 大屏、靈犀智艙 2.0×豆包大模型、獵鷹 500 智駕（22 顆傳感器）、200+ 全場景自動泊車、高速領航輔助等配置一應俱全。
安全層面同樣硬核：80% 高強度鋼 +18.84% 熱成型鋼、九橫五縱籠式車身、同級最多 9 安全氣囊（含 48L 雙腔遠端氣囊）、犀牛電池 6D 鎖子甲 31 層防護，IP68 防水達國標 96 倍。
同級優勢：續航不分级，安全不縮水
相較於零跑 B10、比亞迪元 PLUS、豐田鉑智 3X 等同級竞品，風雲 T7 嘅優勢十分鮮明。首先係"續航平權"策略——9.98 萬入門版即可享受 600km 續航，而元 PLUS 入門版續航僅 430km，零跑 B10 低配續航也低於 600km。對於預算 10 萬左右嘅家庭用戶而言，無需加價就能獲得長續航，這係極具吸引力嘅賣點。
其次係全球驗證帶來嘅品質信任。在"速成造車"成為行業常態嘅當下，風雲 T7 的 600 萬公里耐久測試和全球多地域極限驗證（巴西高減速坎、墨西哥鵝卵石路、德國高速大曲率彎道等），構建起咗"可靠耐用"的品牌認知。9 安全氣囊、2026 版 E-NCAP 五星標準等安全配置全系標配，打破咗"低價=減配"嘅行業潛規則。
價格預測：正式售價或維持，權益可能加碼
關於 8 月正式上市後價格是否會低於預售價，車軲轆認為大機率維持 9.98 萬 -13.98 萬元區間，但通過增加上市權益變相讓利。參考奇瑞一貫嘅定價策略，預售價往往與正式售價基本持平，主要差異體現在置換補貼、金融政策、充電權益等方面。若市場競爭加劇，不排除入門版限時權益價下探至 9.58 萬甚至更低嘅可能，但大幅減價嘅可能性唔大——畢竟 600km 續航同全球驗證嘅成本底線擺喺度。
風雲 T7 預售價 9.98 萬起嘅定價極具衝擊力，喺 10 萬級純電 SUV 市場幾乎搵唔到"全系 600km+ 全球五星安全 +4nm 芯片"嘅竞品；奇瑞連續 23 年出口第一、2000 萬全球用戶嘅口碑背書，為品質信任提供咗基礎；"續航不分高低配"嘅策略精準擊中咗家庭用戶嘅痛點。
寫於最後
綜合來看，預計風雲 T7 正式上市後月銷有望暢銷，若產能同渠道發力，銷量突破並爆款並非唔可能。風雲 T7 嘅預售，標誌住 10 萬級純電 SUV 市場進入咗"續航平權"時代。9.98 萬元嘅價格、600km 嘅續航、全球驗證嘅品質，呢組"唔可能三 角"被奇瑞用長期主義造車理念打破咗。在"快"成為行業主旋律嘅當下，風雲 T7 選擇"慢落嚟"打磨產品，呢份堅持本身，就係對中國家庭用戶最真誠嘅致敬。
More than 700 years ago, a young Venetian departed from his hometown, following a path trodden by camel caravans eastward for four years to reach Shangdu of the Yuan Dynasty.
His dictated account later while in prison became the starting point for Europeans to imagine the East.
More than 700 years later, a team of Chinese vehicles with green plates departed from the Italian Peninsula, heading in the opposite direction, eastward and then eastward again, stopping by Shenzhen Bay 43 days later.
The entire journey was 15,000 kilometers, crossing 11 countries, burning not a drop of fuel.
This is BYD's "Marco Polo New Silk Road." Long-distance travel with pure electric vehicles is no longer news, but that was within the country.
From Rome to Khorgos, separated by Balkan mountain roads, the Anatolian plateau, and the Central Asian Gobi, where are the charging piles in those places? How was this ten-thousand-kilometer journey charged?
Only by understanding this question can you truly understand the significance behind BYD revisiting the Silk Road.
01.From Rome to Shenzhen, This Road Took 700 Years
Let's first trace the route.
On June 13, 2026, the BYD team departed from Palazzo Orsini Taverna in Rome, Italy.
This palace itself is a relic left 500 years ago by a family involved in East-West trade. Choosing to start here spoke volumes without words.
The subsequent route crossed Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan in order, a total of 10 foreign countries. Finally, it entered via the Khorgos port in Xinjiang, passing through Xi'an, Luoyang, Suzhou, and Shanghai, concluding in Shenzhen on July 25.
Calculated by fingers, it was 43 days, 11 countries, 15,000 kilometers.
If you draw this line on a map, you will find it highly overlaps with the main line of the ancient Silk Road.
Leaving the Italian Peninsula of Southern Europe, crossing the Balkans, crossing the Bosphorus Strait into Asia, crossing the Anatolian plateau, climbing the Caucasus Mountains, arriving in Central Asia via the Caspian Sea ferry, then advancing eastward through the Kazakh wilderness until Khorgos.
This is not a route designed for self-driving tours. The terrain and climate differences along the way are ridiculous.
The Mediterranean coast is dry and hot in summer, the Balkan mountains are foggy and rainy, the eastern part of Turkey exceeds two thousand meters in altitude, the winding mountain roads in Georgia have sharp turns and steep slopes, the Central Asian Gobi scorches the car paint by day and cools down at night, arriving in China you still have to experience the headwinds in the Northwest and the plum rain in Jiangnan.
Temperature difference, altitude, road conditions, each item is a real test for the electric vehicle's three-electric system and thermal management.
More critically, the ones completing the journey were not special modified vehicles, but mass-produced vehicles available on the BYD market. All matrix of Dynasty, Ocean, Denza, Fang Cheng Bao, and Yangwang participated, without special reinforcement, without extra fuel tanks, even the charging ports remained in factory original condition.
More than 700 years ago, Marco Polo walked this road relying on camels' endurance and human stamina.
More than 700 years later, the team walked the same road relying on electricity in the batteries and charging stations along the way. The carrier changed, but the essence of this road connecting East and West has not changed.
02.How to Achieve 15,000 Kilometers Pure Electric Cross Silk Road?
An outsider looking at this trip, the first reaction is to ask if the range is enough.
This question placed in 2026 is actually no longer valid. Pure electric vehicles now generally achieve 600 km or more in CLTC range. Long-distance travel is not impossible, the real pain point has always been one—charging.
Especially abroad. Charging pile standards in Europe are not unified, operators are fragmented, in some parts of Central Asia even stable grids are a problem.
You drive an electric car departing from Rome, no matter how long the range, if you cannot find a reliable fast charging pile midway, it will break down.
BYD's solution is simple and rough: build it themselves.
After the team entered Uzbekistan, passing through the four ancient cities of Khiva, Bukhara, Samarkand, and Tashkent, there was a BYD exclusive flash charging station waiting at every stop.
Note this order, not the car team arrived and then looked for electricity everywhere, but the piles were secured before the car arrived, and then the car drove over.
These four cities are exactly the core nodes on the Silk Road in Central Asia. BYD pinned the flash charging piles in these places, both as a safety net for this trip and paving the way for long-term deep cultivation in the Central Asian market.
So, BYD dared to use pure electric vehicles to cross the Silk Road. The confidence to do so comes from BYD's Megawatt Flash Charge technology.
BYD's Megawatt Flash Charge is based on the Super e-Platform. Simply put, it is a middle school physics problem.
Power equals Voltage times Current. To charge fast, either increase current or raise voltage. Too large current causes wire harnesses to be bulky, severe heat generation, and high energy loss. So the industry consensus is to take the high-voltage route.
BYD directly pulled the voltage to 1000V, two and a half times the mainstream 400V platform, cooperating with 1000A maximum current and 10C charging rate, peak charging power reached 1000 kilowatts, which is one megawatt.
What is the concept of one megawatt, how fast can charging be? Official data says "in normal temperature, fully charged in 5 minutes, fully saturated in 9 minutes", meaning electricity from 10% to 70% takes only 5 minutes, from 10% to 97% takes only 9 minutes, averaging about two kilometers of range increase per second, charging for 5 minutes can supplement more than 400 kilometers.
Achieving this charging speed in technical engineering is not easy.
On one hand, battery internal resistance must be reduced. BYD cut internal resistance by about half by reconstructing ion channels, using still the second-generation Blade Battery, long structure for uniform heat dissipation. On the other hand, the charging gun must be light. Using conventional cables for over a thousand amperes current would be too heavy to lift, BYD used fully liquid-cooled terminals to control the gun cable to two kilograms.
Finally, Silicon Carbide power chips must be manufactured themselves. Electronic control, air conditioning, motors all unified to 1000V standard. No component could stay in the low-voltage zone dragging behind. This is a whole set of full-stack self-researched system, not gathered from buying a pile of supplier parts.
In August 2026, this Megawatt Flash Charge system received the German International Paul Pich Award. The award was founded by the European authoritative automotive media "Automotor & Sport". Established in 1989, now 37 years, BYD is the first Chinese enterprise to win. The jury believes it "is expected to push the adoption of pure electric vehicles from the root".
Domestic energy replenishment networks have also spread. As of the end of June this year, BYD has built 7,018 flash charging stations in 325 cities nationwide, grid-like coverage of urban areas, highways, and townships.
So you see, 15,000 kilometers run, on the surface the car is running, underneath is a pre-woven charging network supporting it.
Range is the car's capability, being able to charge is the system's capability.
03.Crossing 11 Countries Complex Road Conditions, Intelligent Driving Helped a Lot
Ten thousand plus kilometers of long-distance travel, human fatigue is unavoidable. Especially abroad, road signs unreadable, traffic regulations different, mountain roads and highways alternating, anyone cannot endure continuous driving for several days.
On this trip, BYD's God's Eye assisted driving system was basically online throughout.
Urban congestion road following car start-stop, long-distance highway automatic cruise maintaining distance, mountain tunnels recognizing lane lines and curves, continuous winding mountain roads decelerating in advance. These functions taken individually each item is not new, most 200,000 RMB level cars at home have them.
But what is new is the scenario—from Italian roundabouts to Turkish mountain roads, from Kazakh desert highways to domestic highway tunnels, traffic signs, driving habits, and road conditions of 11 countries are completely different. One system needs to adapt to all, this is an extreme test for the algorithm's generalization ability.
The trump card of God's Eye is data. According to official disclosure, BYD assisted driving system daily real driving data exceeds 210 million kilometers. These data flow back from mass-produced cars, after labeling and training then OTA pushed to users, forming a continuous evolution closed loop.
To be blunt, this system is not calculated by engineers in an office, it is driven out by millions of car owners on the road. The more road conditions seen, the more stable the handling of weird scenarios.
I have always felt, intelligent driving cannot be viewed from launch event demos. Demo videos are all selected. True persuasiveness lies in this long-distance real run, over forty days different countries different road conditions run without major issues, more useful than any spec sheet.
Of course assisted driving is ultimately assistance, driver's hand cannot leave the steering wheel, but it can cut down a large chunk of long-distance driving fatigue intensity, making ten thousand plus kilometers not turn into torment.
04.Driving Out is Not Just Cars, BYD is Under a Bigger Game
If only understanding this trip as a car long-term test, the perspective is too small.
You notice events happening along the way. The team arrived in Belgrade, Serbia, BYD Executive Vice President Li Ke accepted an "Award for Sustainable Development and Interconnectivity". The award giver was a local institute, this is not an enterprise awarding itself.
In Uzbekistan, the four flash charging stations are not temporary facilities, part of BYD's joint venture factory plan with local. Uzbekistan Q1 BYD sales volume 7,799 vehicles, year-on-year growth 93%, directly knocking Chevrolet which monopolized the local market for thirty years off the table.
Looking bigger. BYD's factories in Thailand, Brazil, Uzbekistan have entered production. Hungary Szeged factory invested 4 billion euros, started production in Q2 this year, Turkey factory also landed this year.
From whole vehicle manufacturing to charging network to local R&D and sales channels, it is not transporting cars over to sell and leave, but moving the whole industry chain over, hiring locally, building factories, paying taxes locally.
Sales figures also support. In the first half of this year, BYD sold 174,100 vehicles in Europe, year-on-year growth 145.5%, already surpassing Japanese brands like Nissan, Honda that cultivated Europe for many years. June single month exports to EU plus UK plus EFTA 54,000 vehicles. In UK, first half sold nearly 38,000 vehicles, surpassing Tesla, BMW, Volkswagen topping EV sales champion. Germany July single month sales 5,240 vehicles, year-on-year growth 365%. Overseas annual sales target from beginning of year 1.3 million vehicles up revised to 1.5 million vehicles.
These numbers placed three years ago are inconceivable. China's automotive exports in the past relied on low prices and volume, selling cheap cars to Southeast Asia, Middle East, Latin America. Now BYD sells products with Megawatt Flash Charge and high-level intelligent driving in Europe, prices not cheaper than Volkswagen, Toyota, still people pay. This Silk Road trip used wheels rolling over 11 countries, essentially making a real field endorsement for "Chinese Smart Manufacturing" four words.
Marco Polo brought Eastern product information back to Europe, relying on a pen.
BYD spreads China's electric vehicles and charging technology across Eurasian continent, relying on an entire industry chain.
05.Ancient Silk Road Spoke with Medicines, Silk, Porcelain, Tea, New Silk Road with What?
Return to the cultural line.
What circulated on the ancient Silk Road, was silk, porcelain, tea, medicinal herbs.
Interesting, almost at the same time, BYD's other team departed from Xi'an, following ancient path to Bozhou seeking medicinal herbs, to Jingdezhen fetching porcelain, to Hangzhou collecting silk, to Mount Wuyi picking tea leaves, taking the four legendary items "Medicines, Silk, Porcelain, and Tea" 33 days later to Shenzhen going overseas walked again.
These products in that year were hard currency, material carriers of Eastern civilization external output.
Then what is transported on the New Silk Road?
First stop after team entering was Xi'an. Chinese and foreign guests were invited into BYD Smart Manufacturing Base, from batteries to motors to electronic control full-link self-research looked through thoroughly.
Arriving Luoyang, Tang and Song family carrying people under Longmen Grottoes chatted about Silk Road culture.
Arriving Suzhou, Ocean series cars drove into water town alleys, echoing across with records of "Venice of the East" under Marco Polo's pen.
Arriving Shanghai, Denza representatives sat on the East-West dialogue table with Eastern New Luxury.
You see, Ancient Silk Road transported products, New Silk Road transports technology and standards. Three-electric system is technology, high-voltage charging architecture is standard, intelligent driving algorithm is ability, whole vehicle manufacturing system is strength.
These things like silk and porcelain are products a civilization most proud to present in specific era, only carrier changed from fine silks to chips and batteries.
Interesting is direction, Marco Polo walked from West to East, bringing Eastern prosperity back to Europe.
BYD's trip also walked from West to East, departing from Rome returning to Shenzhen, but cars made in China, technology developed in China, flash charging piles erected by Chinese brands on Central Asian land.
Same direction, the output entity is completely reversed.
Final Thoughts
43 days, 11 countries, 15,000 kilometers, full journey pure electric, mass-produced vehicles no modification. Wheels have replaced camel bells, on that ancient road rolled out a new wheel track, this event itself worthy of being remembered.
BYD revisiting the Silk Road proved pure electric vehicles crossing Eurasian continent technically completely feasible, and not that kind of feasible by gritting teeth to endure, but with flash charging network safety net, intelligent driving system sharing burden, full matrix models completed run with composure, proving China's automotive industry's three-electric technology and replenishment system already possessed confidence to accept testing under global most complex road conditions, injecting green new energy into traditional Silk Road.

【Written by/ Caiquan Circle&Dao Ge Auto Talk Ma Jianyu】In the first half of 2026, the most surreal story in the automotive industry is that Zotye Automobile, which produced no cars, achieved profitability. Referring to other automakers that continued to lose money or turned from profit to loss in the first half of 2026, if ranking automakers by profit, Zotye Automobile that produced no cars would even leave everyone far behind.
Even more surreal is that Zotye Automobile, which has paused its whole-vehicle business for a long time, is beginning to export its car-making capabilities to overseas markets. This is also a slap in the face to many domestic automakers, because Zotye Automobile proved one thing to them — exporting KD for Chinese automotive enterprises is not difficult, and automakers that have been out of production for years can also achieve it.
On July 16, Zotye Automobile's official public account published a post stating that Zotye Automobile and India Kaly Emotors formally signed a KD strategic cooperation master agreement, planning to jointly build an SKD construction cooperative project with an annual capacity of 30,000 sets. This means Zotye Automobile's car-making capabilities are starting to be exported to Indian local automakers.
And will this also become the beginning of Zotye Automobile transitioning from inflated profits to real profits?
Exporting Car-Making Capabilities to India, Just Connected with Indonesia Not Long Ago
As the global automotive industry enters the transformation of electrification and intelligence, China's automotive industry is rising quietly, and Chinese automobiles have gained an unprecedented status in the global automotive market with the three words "New Energy". Against this backdrop, China's automobile exports have repeatedly hit new highs, ranking first in the world for three consecutive years. Even many automakers are starting to support sales with exports.
Against this backdrop, Chinese automakers' car-making capabilities have been recognized by overseas markets, even Zotye Automobile which has been out of production for many years. According to the cooperation signed between Zotye Automobile and India Kaly Emotors, both parties will fully integrate Zotye Automobile's existing industrial resources, carry out all-around deep collaboration in the fields of production line construction, special equipment supporting, parts localization adaptation, sales channel expansion, cloud platform construction, and quickly import Zotye Automobile's A0-class models, planning to achieve the SOP mass production off the line for this model in the Indian market.
In addition, start the development of other A0-class and B-class models at an opportune time, planning to continue to expand Zotye Automobile's market share and industry influence in the Indian market. Looking at Zotye Automobile's history, it has certain experience in New Energy A0-class models, having introduced models such as Zotye E200 and Cloud 100 in the early stage, and later also introduced models such as Jiangnan U2. To a certain extent, Zotye Automobile has a foundation in A0-class new energy models.
At the same time, as communicated by both parties, India's new energy vehicle market also indeed has good growth potential. Data shows that the penetration rate of electric vehicles (EV) in India's passenger car market in 2025 was 4.0%. It is worth mentioning that deepening the overseas market layout is one of the strategic priorities of Zotye Automobile. Not long ago, Zotye Automobile also reached a consensus on strategic cooperation for the new energy vehicle whole industry chain with Indonesia BPKN.
According to official statements, both parties initially discussed the phased promotion plan of the project: Phase I plans to adopt the SKD model to explore a fast production path, gradually increasing the localization rate of parts; Phase II preliminarily plans to explore the investment and construction of an integrated smart factory with an annual production capacity of 150,000 units, supporting four major processes of whole vehicle manufacturing and power battery production lines, laying out the landing of home, logistics, and pickup series new energy models.
Zotye Restart Beginning? Can Overseas Markets Redeem its "Chaotic" Self?
According to Zotye Automobile's 2025 annual report, in 2026, Zotye Automobile will persist in the overall idea of focusing on main business, low-cost operation, rapid resumption of production, and overseas priority, with molds and stamping parts as cash flow support, and whole vehicle resumption and new energy model landing as long-term directions. From the trends within the year, Zotye Automobile is indeed moving towards this plan.
However, whether Zotye Automobile can be re-redeemed by overseas markets still faces many tests. First, Zotye Automobile in 2026 can be described as "chaotic" to a certain extent. In June this year, Zotye Automobile fell into a boardroom "internal struggle" storm, three directors jointly proposed to remove current Chairman Han Biwen, followed by shareholders stepping in to support Han Biwen, requesting the removal of the above three directors (due to one resignation canceling the removal against them), and then the three directors who originally proposed to remove the chairman were ousted.
As the saying goes, when it rains it pours. On the evening of July 10, Zotye Automobile announced in a notice that the company received the "Filing Notice" issued by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and due to suspected information disclosure violations, the China Securities Regulatory Commission decided to file against Zotye Automobile. Of course, the more important thing is financial support, after all, Zotye Automobile has lost money for too long.
Financial data shows that since 2019, as of the end of 2025, Zotye Automobile has had annual losses for seven consecutive years, with a total net loss exceeding 25 billion yuan. At the same time, the 2025 annual report shows that the company achieved operating revenue of 521 million yuan, a year-on-year decrease of 6.66%; net loss of 367 million yuan, a year-on-year shrinkage of 63.29%; as of the end of the reporting period, the company's asset-liability ratio reached 96.54%. These directly led to Zotye Automobile's inability to restart whole vehicle manufacturing business.
Despite the fact that in the first half of 2026, Zotye Automobile achieved profitability, "far ahead" among a group of loss-making automakers. But this time the profit is quite inflated, according to the profit forecast, Zotye Automobile expects the net profit attributable to shareholders of the parent company in the first half of the year to be between 78 million and 105 million yuan. But the core reason is that the company carried out business contraction, cancelled a large number of long-term idle, no operating activities subsidiaries and production sites, obtained compensation income of about 200 million yuan. At the same time, a number of past lawsuits reached settlements, bringing additional income of about 30 million yuan. The sum of the two one-time incomes exceeds 230 million yuan.
In other words, Zotye Automobile's main business or car-making business has made no significant progress. And will the cooperation with Indian local automakers become the beginning of Zotye Automobile's restart?
In the Malaysian SUV market, many buyers compare Perodua Aruz and MG MG HS when choosing a car. These two cars are quite close in price and positioning. Today we will make a detailed comparison from multiple aspects to help you save time on research.
Perodua Aruz OTR price in Malaysia is RM 72,900 - 77,900, with a total of 2 versions, including 1.5L X (RM 72,900), 1.5L AV (RM 77,900), etc.

It is recommended to do your research, compare quotes from multiple dealerships, and then go for a test drive to make a final decision. Buying a car is a major matter, spending some time on research will never be wrong.

Recently, WeRide announced a one-stage end-to-end assisted driving solution developed in cooperation with Bosch, which is conducting road testing and adaptation verification in countries such as Germany, France, and Japan. This can be said to be the first overseas launch of a domestic one-stage end-to-end system.
WeRide has been very dominant domestically with its one-stage end-to-end assisted driving solution, not only achieving "six consecutive championships" in the Autonomous Driving Competition, but also continuously winning multiple project bids with leading companies, cumulatively securing over 30 project nominations from GAC Group and Chery Group.
AION N60 is equipped with this one-stage end-to-end solution
It is reported that in this overseas road test by WeRide, it demonstrated outstanding performance in dealing with overseas scenarios such as German unlimited speed limit highways, French dense roundabouts, and Japanese right-hand drive left-hand traffic rules.
From the perspective of autonomous driving going global, this is not just an overseas verification, but China's autonomous driving global expansion will enter a new mode stage.
In the past, autonomous driving going global not only had fewer features, generally limited to Highway NOA, and required deploying significant manpower overseas for localization engineering. But this time WeRide is bringing the one-stage end-to-end solution overseas, not only pushing City NOA features overseas, but also intends to solve the issue of how to move from single-market adaptation to global adaptation.
Therefore, this is also a global exam for China's Physical AI capabilities.
Autonomous driving is a typical Physical AI scenario, requiring deep interaction with the physical world and handling complex multi-tasks.
And L4 autonomous driving is the most stringent, direct verification field for Physical AI capabilities. It is not simply identifying objects and then doing path planning, but requires understanding the world and predicting trends to make safe and reliable decisions.
This requires the ability to reconstruct the physical world, able to generate real scenes at the pixel level within seconds; learning the physical laws behind complex traffic; deducing the causal logic behind driving behavior; pre-playing spatiotemporal evolution, deducing multiple possibilities within the next few seconds in a continuously changing road environment.
As the company with the widest global business coverage in the autonomous driving field, WeRide transforms the massive data, technical systems, and engineering experience accumulated over years of L4 autonomous driving R&D and operations into a one-stage end-to-end solution for mass-produced L2++ models. This is also why the one-stage end-to-end solution from WeRide&Bosch can win the "six consecutive championships" in the Autonomous Driving Competition, essentially bringing the capabilities of the more difficult L4 autonomous driving down to L2++.
WeRide&Bosch win China Autonomous Driving Competition · Six Consecutive Championships
In addition, a major threshold for autonomous driving going global is data, overseas real road scenario data.
Physical AI models and internet large language models have fundamental differences. Every decision plan interacts with the real world, so the error tolerance is extremely low. Therefore, Physical AI models need cognitive data from the real world to help models learn the laws of the real world.
Overseas data is a challenge for companies that have always done domestic L2++ autonomous driving, but for WeRide which has already operated Robotaxis globally, it is an existing advantage.
WeRide's Robotaxi operations currently cover Guangzhou, Beijing, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Zurich, and other domestic and overseas core markets, conducting autonomous driving R&D, testing, and operations in over 40 cities in 12 countries globally. According to previous disclosures, WeRide has deployed over 3000 autonomous driving vehicles globally. The global massive fleet provides sufficient scenario depth and breadth for training the L2++ one-stage end-to-end AI large model.
Chery Exeed EX7 comes standard with this one-stage end-to-end solution
One can say WeRide is one of the few companies globally that has accumulated real-world cognitive data. This is also a barrier for autonomous driving going global. To provide rich nutrition for the evolution of the one-stage end-to-end AI large model, the countries/regions covered must be wide enough, and the accumulated road scenario data must be rich enough.
More importantly, massive global data provides new gameplay for autonomous driving going global.
Previously, a huge difficulty faced by China's autonomous driving going global was the scenario gap.
Overseas road traffic scenarios differ significantly from domestic ones, and differences between different countries/regions are also very large. For example, German highway speed limit rules, French dense roundabouts, and many countries/regions use right-hand drive vehicles.
In the past, the differentiation of these overseas road scenarios required investing significant manpower in "localization" adaptation and deployment, doing a large amount of technical engineering hard labor and tiring work. This led to high difficulty and high cost for China's autonomous driving going global, and the speed of laying out overseas markets was very slow, because each country/region needed "localization" technical engineering to be done over again.
Chery Exeed ES also equipped with this one-stage end-to-end solution
Therefore, for Chinese autonomous driving companies, the problem at hand is: Can L2++ autonomous driving going global break through the scenario gap with lower cost and more efficient methods?
WeRide's answer is: Yes, and must do so.
By training the one-stage end-to-end AI large model through massive global real operation data, modeling using the WeRide GENESIS world model that conforms to the objective laws of the physical world, further generating scenarios, training algorithms, verifying safety. This is a new gameplay for China's autonomous driving going global, and also the underlying logic of AI. For humans, road scenarios and rules differ by country, but for AI, it belongs to the same world.
So autonomous driving going global ultimately comes down to one thing: Is AI capability strong enough? And WeRide is verifying this. Does AI learn Chinese road experience, or physical world laws?
Autonomous driving going global has welcomed the best timing. The global automotive market is looking up to the Chinese market in autonomous driving.
Firstly, the scale of Chinese car makers going global continues to surge, with overseas sales accounting for nearly one-third. Autonomous driving is becoming a key competitiveness for overseas models, and Chinese car makers are also preparing to upgrade to City NOA advanced autonomous driving features.
Secondly, not only will Chinese car makers' overseas models carry City NOA advanced autonomous driving features, but overseas car makers in their own home markets are also starting to layout City NOA. For example, Porsche and Audi chose to cooperate with Mobileye respectively, using Mobileye's solution, covering point-to-point assisted driving for highways and urban areas.
One-stage end-to-end solution test vehicle in Germany
This is different from the situation in the past few years. Previously overseas car makers were more conservative in Europe and the US markets, autonomous driving features were generally limited to Highway NOA, but now they also need to align with the Chinese market.
Therefore, currently is the best timing for China's autonomous driving going global. Firstly, the demand in overseas markets is being released. Secondly, autonomous driving suppliers in Europe and the US markets, such as Mobileye, International Tier 1, are behind domestic in autonomous driving solution technology and mass production efficiency.
Large market scale, rigid customer demand, weak competitors, this is a profitable track with a long slope and thick snow.
However, this time WeRide's overseas layout is not simply copying the global expansion model of International Tier 1s. In the past, International Tier 1s relied on a model of stacking manpower, stacking adaptation, stacking rule algorithms, while WeRide relies on AI capabilities, data-driven, using AI models as the leverage. Therefore, this is AI capability going global.
What WeRide represents is not just a globalization attempt of an autonomous driving enterprise, but also an important mark that China's Physical AI capabilities are starting to accept systematic verification from the global road system.

July 6, 2026, as a forklift mobile robot walked off the production line, Hikvision Robotics officially announced that its cumulative mobile robot units of all categories rolled off the production line exceeding 200,000.
From May 2024 when the 100,000th unit rolled off until now, Hikvision Robotics has completed the leap of the second 100,000 units in just two years. According to the latest statistics from the Mobile Robot Industry Alliance, its market share of mobile robots in 2025 ranked first globally. Against the backdrop of the intelligent transformation of manufacturing, China's mobile robot industry is accelerating from demonstration applications to a new stage of scaled popularization, and the speed change of Hikvision Robotics' 200,000 units rolling off represents a microcosm of this trend.
From Technology to Standards: Systemic Accumulation Behind Scale
The scale of the mobile robot industry is not only an expansion of capacity but also the result of long-term accumulation by leading enterprises in technology, products, scenarios, industry standards, and other dimensions. From the development laws of the global industry, enterprises that can truly achieve large-scale mass production and landing are those that have continuously invested and accumulated for a long time in these dimensions, eventually forming productized and engineering systemic capabilities.
Hikvision Robotics' development trajectory provides a reference for this law. From the gradual improvement of early product lines—Crawler, Forklift, Omni-directional Forklift, and other categories successively launched—to the Safety Controller obtaining the world's first SIL3 certification, the Omni-directional Forklift obtaining the country's first full-instruction CE certification, and the Fourth Generation Architecture Platform "Intelligent Base" being launched—these nodes string together a clear path of capability leap: Mobile robots are gradually evolving from "able to run" to being able to operate safely, stably, and schedulably in complex industrial environments. The continuous evolution of technology has laid the engineering foundation for large-scale delivery.
This accumulation does not stop at hardware. The core software architecture has undergone four iterations, evolving from early warehousing scheduling control to an intelligent platform supporting mixed scheduling and low-code secondary development; core links such as electronic control, algorithms, and perception equipment have achieved full-stack self-development. With mature capabilities, hardware and software interfaces are standardized and opened to the outside, allowing upstream and downstream industries to perform secondary development and scenario adaptation on the same platform, thereby broadening the application boundaries of the industry.
In terms of standards, Hikvision Robotics has cumulatively formulated and revised more than 37 mobile robot standards at various levels. In June 2026, its leading development of the national standard "General Technical Specification for Logistics Robot Information Systems" won the Zhejiang Province Standard Innovation Major Contribution Award. As the first systemic general standard in the field of global logistics robot information, it fills the gap in standards in this field, standardizes large-scale cluster scheduling planning technology, reduces redundant construction costs in the scaled deployment of mobile robots, and accelerates the standardization process of the industry.
Scenario Accumulation: The Market Foundation of Scale
As of April 2026, Hikvision Robotics has cumulatively served more than 20,000 customers, implemented in over 1,000 niche application scenarios, covering automotive and auto parts, 3C electronics, photovoltaic, lithium battery, commercial circulation, food and pharmaceuticals, tobacco, footwear and apparel, and many other industries. Massive customer needs have formed a stable market basic foundation and also provided continuous real feedback for the iteration of products and technologies.
In the automotive industry, Hikvision Robotics has cumulatively invested more than 2,000 mobile robot units in multiple production bases of FAW Toyota, achieving the first deployment of over 1,000 units in a single factory in the automotive industry. In the Changan Digital Intelligence Factory, 687 mobile robot units were landed at once, manufacturing efficiency increased by 20%, and line costs were reduced by 20%. In the new energy field, Hikvision Robotics has landed more than 500 projects in the lithium battery industry, with shipments exceeding 10,000 units. In the circulation and pharmaceutical fields, benchmark projects such as Watsons, Winic, Singapore YCH Group, and Sinopharm General are continuously expanding the efficiency boundaries of warehousing logistics.
Relying on massive implementation experience, Hikvision Robotics has accumulated rich scenario Know-how, enabling the replication of mature solutions from a single scenario, iterating products through real-time data reverse iteration, and forming a positive loop of "scenario refines products, products support mass production".
Ecosystem Construction: Solving Industry Fragmentation Challenges
Facing the extremely fragmented demands of the mobile robot industry, ecosystem capabilities have become one of the keys to scaled landing.
Since launching its ecosystem strategy in 2020, Hikvision Robotics has gathered more than 500 ecosystem partners around the three business lines of Machine Vision, Mobile Robots, and Articulated Robots, cumulatively training more than 200,000 engineers, and built a multi-level ecosystem system covering hardware, software, services, and talent.
In the mobile robot field, Hikvision Robotics has completed the delivery of a large number of fragmented scenarios in partnership with partners. At the implementation level, tooling products such as EasyAMR for small and micro factories and 3D logistics simulation software PlantMirror make flexible automation transformation for SMEs lighter and trial and error costs lower. At the talent end, through paths such as the Engineer Certification System and Industry College co-construction, an "Industry-Education-Research-Application" integrated ecosystem covering talent training, technology verification, and industry transfer has been built.
Intelligent Manufacturing Upgrade: The Future of the Industry from Line Intelligence
In the Tonglu Science and Technology Park of Hikvision Robotics covering more than 200 mu, mobile robots, machine vision, and articulated robots have achieved deep collaboration of "eyes, feet, hands" multiple devices on the production line, from perception, decision-making to execution seamlessly: mobile robots complete factory-wide automated turnover and workstation delivery, articulated robots matched with machine vision complete precision operations such as screwing and calibration, AI vision algorithms perform real-time error correction and positioning; wheeled humanoid robots, quadruped robots, and other embodied series are being tested in loading and unloading, picking, and transport links, supporting a massive capacity of 75,000 mobile robots, 5 million sets of machine vision products, and 20,000 sets of articulated robots annually.
From "machines assist humans" to "robots make robots", intelligence runs through the entire production process of Hikvision Robotics. It is precisely the combination of self-developed production lines and sufficient capacity that makes embodied intelligence no longer stay only in the laboratory, but use Tonglu as a validation platform to quickly replicate mature "eyes-feet-hands" collaboration solutions to various industries, benefiting more manufacturing enterprises with this technology loop.
Looking Forward: The Next Stop After Scale
From the perspective of industry laws, a technology from start to maturity often needs to go through a leap from verification to scaled landing. 200,000 units rolling off is a node for Hikvision Robotics and also a footnote in this process. Behind this acceleration is the technology inclusion path of mobile robots moving from benchmark factories to more widespread industrial scenarios. When deployment thresholds continue to decrease and intelligent technology begins to penetrate every link of manufacturing, the application boundaries of mobile robots will be further expanded.

繼全球多地密集調整產能後，固特異輪胎再次按下「暫停鍵」。近日，固特異宣佈其土耳其伊茲米特工廠將於 7 月 2 日至 8 月 2 日停產一個月，預計 8 月 3 日恢復生產。
固特異官方表示，此次停產旨在進行庫存管理及計劃內的定期維護，期間生產線將實施技術調整與現代化改造，不會對營運和財務造成負面影響，員工權益也不受影響。然而，此次停產時機頗為微妙——距該工廠因違反反壟斷法被土耳其政府重罰 6.72 億里拉僅過去一週。值得一提的是，該工廠在 2025 年 6 月也曾以「調整庫存」為由停產過一個月。
巨頭深陷調整陣痛，關停裁員接踵而至
固特異土耳其工廠的停產，只是全球輪胎行業劇烈震盪的一個縮影。2026 年以來，國際輪胎巨頭頻現「關停潮」：
5 月，普利司通突然宣佈關停營運超 40 年的台灣新竹工廠；同月，倍耐力阿根廷工廠宣佈停產，該廠自 2023 年以來已累計裁員 700 人；大陸集團也宣佈在全球調整約 3000 個職位，其中 1600 人被納入裁員範圍。
作為百年巨頭，固特異自身的「陣痛」更為劇烈。在「固特異前進」重組計劃下，其已先後關閉或出售了德國富爾達（營運 125 年）、南非 Kariega（營運 78 年）、馬來西亞莎阿南等多地工廠，並出售了鄧祿普品牌及化工等非核心業務。今年 4 月，固特異美國唯一的 OTR 工程輪胎老廠托皮卡也實施了短期停工。
亞洲低價輪胎衝擊，全球競爭白熱化
這場席捲全球的停產關廠潮背後，是供需失衡與亞洲（特別是中國）高性價比輪胎的強力衝擊。
近年來，中國輪胎企業憑藉性價比優勢在全球攻城略地，直插外資大牌市場腹地，使其原有高價定位難以為繼，利潤空間被大幅壓縮。固特異財務數據顯示，其 2025 年全年淨銷售額同比下降近 5% 至 183 億美元，淨虧損高達 17 億美元；預計 2026 年第一季度全球銷量同比將下降約 10%，並面臨 1.85 億美元的成本增加壓力。
面對高成本區域的產能冗餘與亞洲輪胎的價格衝擊，國際巨頭不得不通過「斷臂求生」來降本止損。固特異預計其重組計劃全年將節省約 3 億美元成本。然而，在競爭遠超預期的全球輪胎市場中，這種「刮骨療毒」式的自救能否換來真正的復興，仍需時間檢驗。
Folks, today let's talk about big news on going global—not selling cars, but selling "drivers". On June 2, WeRide and Uber jointly announced a plan: to launch the country's first commercial Robotaxi pilot service in Madrid, Spain. In other words: Spanish residents will soon be able to hail a driverless taxi via Uber. This is the first time WeRide and Uber are partnering to enter the European market. Madrid also becomes the 12th city globally where WeRide's Robotaxi arrives.
According to official news, with the support of the Madrid regional government, this service will officially launch within this year. At that time, friends in Madrid can open the Uber App and call WeRide's Robotaxi with one click. It's just like calling an ordinary ride-hailing service, the difference is the arriving car has no driver—at least initially, there is still a difference. In the initial operation phase, a professionally trained safety monitor will be on board, as it's just launched, safety comes first.
This company, WeRide, you might have heard of it, or you might not. A brief introduction: Established in 2017, it has been dedicated to Robotaxi technology R&D and commercialization. Currently, its Robotaxis cover Guangzhou, Beijing, Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Riyadh, Zurich... plus Madrid now, totaling 12 cities. Spain is also the 5th European market WeRide has entered—previously entered Switzerland, France, Belgium, Slovakia. According to the plan agreed by WeRide and Uber in May 2025, they plan to deploy Robotaxi services in 15 new international cities within five years, deploying tens of thousands of Robotaxis globally. With the Madrid launch, the deployment in 4 cities has been completed, and 11 more will be covered successively before 2030.
To be honest, it's not the first time Chinese autonomous driving companies are going global, but the combination of Chinese technology + global mobility platform + European market is quite interesting. Madrid is one of the European Robotaxi markets with the most commercial potential, with a large population, high travel demand, and friendly local policies. Being able to take root in this market is a significant milestone for WeRide. For Uber, introducing Robotaxis is also a way to reduce costs—after all, drivers don't need salaries. For Madrid residents, hailing a taxi might be cheaper in the future.
On May 15, Geely Automobile (00175.HK) released an announcement on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange regarding an apparently modest sum, yet carrying extremely strong signaling significance.
The announcement shows that Geely Automobile will acquire 100% equity of Radar Automotive (Shandong) Co., Ltd., Radar Automotive Sales Co., Ltd., and its Thai subsidiary Radar Thailand for a cash consideration of approximately RMB 218 million.
After the transaction, this new energy pickup brand incubated by Geely Holding Group for three years will officially transition from a "group test bed" to a core business segment of the listed company Geely Automobile, and its financial performance will also be consolidated into the listed company's financial statements.
This is not a simple internal asset transfer, but a thoughtful strategic positioning and resource reallocation by Geely Automobile after the new energy vehicle competition has entered deep waters.
Underlying this reflection is the Chinese automotive industry's collective bet and fierce competition on the next potential niche market during the electrification transformation.
Transaction Breakdown: A Cost-effective "Internal Deal"
According to the announcement, this acquisition consists of three parts: Zhejiang Jirun Automobile Co., Ltd. invests RMB 159 million to acquire 100% equity of Radar Automotive (Shandong); Zhejiang Geely Holding Group Automotive Sales Co., Ltd. acquires all equity of Radar Automotive Sales Company for RMB 59 million; and two overseas entities under Geely acquire all shares of Thai subsidiary Radar Thailand for RMB 0.49 million. The total consideration is RMB 218 million, which is basically consistent with the fair value assessment of the three companies, with no obvious premium.
Radar Automotive (Shandong) is the core operating entity, controlling all core assets and value of pickup products, covering full industry chain management from R&D, manufacturing to sales. Radar Automotive Sales Company is responsible for domestic channel operations, while the Thai subsidiary established in July 2024 is a key pivot for going overseas to Southeast Asia.
From a financial data perspective, this transaction is a cost-performance choice for Geely Automobile. Radar Automotive (Shandong) achieved a profit of RMB 67.743 million in 2024, although it turned into a loss of RMB 8.646 million in 2025, but its sales company achieved turnaround to profit in the same year, earning RMB 12.325 million.
Geely used a cost of just over RMB 200 million to include a brand that has already established a leading position in the niche market, with annual sales over 10,000 units and complete assets and technology, under its wing. This calculation is shrewd.
Radar Automotive was born in 2021, released the brand in 2022 and launched its first pure electric pickup RD6, focusing on passengerized and electrified pickup tracks. In the past three years, it has existed as an independent incubation project under Geely Holding Group, maintaining a peer-to-peer relationship with listed company Geely Automobile. This structure was conducive to rapid decision-making and flexible trial-and-error in the initial stage, with the group bearing innovation risks.
However, when the Radar brand ran through the business model in three years, sales accounted for more than 60% of the country's total new energy pickup sales in 2023, its strategic value is no longer negligible. This "incorporation" marks that Geely Automobile officially elevated new energy pickups from an "marginal innovation project" to a "core strategic category".
Geely Automobile CEO Gui Shengyue once stated that Geely's new energy vehicle development should achieve balanced development in all fields, covering luxury, mid-to-high-end, mass market and all categories such as MPV, SUV, pickup, etc. Acquiring Radar is precisely filling the last piece of the puzzle for its key niche market that combines passenger, commercial, and off-road attributes in pickups.
Looking deeper, this is the accelerated implementation of Geely's "One Geely" strategy. In recent years, Geely has continued to streamline the number of brands and subsidiaries. This time injecting the matured Radar business into the listed entity aims to open up product planning, supply chain and channel resources, and improve overall operational efficiency. The holding group is responsible for early incubation and risk isolation. After the model is run through, it is handed over to the listed entity for scale operation, becoming a typical paradigm for Geely to seek balance between risk and efficiency.
Industry Tug-of-War: Has the "Turning Point" of New Energy Pickups Arrived?
Geely's heavy bet on new energy pickups at this time is by no means accidental. The entire market is welcoming the "eve" of structural changes.
In 2025, China's new energy pickup sales soared to 73,000 units, a year-on-year surge of 243%, with growth speed far exceeding the overall level of 11.8% of the pickup market. Although its penetration rate in the entire pickup market is still only about 9.15%, the growth momentum is extremely rapid.
Currently, the new energy pickup market has formed the prototype of "one superpower and multiple strong forces". Geely Radar, relying on first-mover advantage and "pure electric + plug-in hybrid" dual-line layout, steadily sits in the top spot, with full-year insured vehicle volume reaching 13,040 units in 2025.
However, challengers are flocking in. BYD "Shark" pickup is about to land in the domestic market; Chery restarts the Rexis brand and launches pure electric pickup R08 EV; Changan enters with the extended-range technology route and launches the Hunter series; JAC, Great Wall and other traditional pickup heavyweights are also increasing investments in hybrid and pure electric products.
Another battle around pure electric, plug-in hybrid, extended-range technology routes, as well as price range and scenario definition has already begun.
Going overseas is the bigger chessboard. At the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, GAC Group Chairman Feng Xingya also told the media: "If we want to enter the global market, we must take over the pickup market." According to his estimate, if removing China's car sales, the proportion of global pickup sales to global car sales is about 10%.
China's pickup export volume has reached 300,000 units in 2025, accounting for more than 50% of the total pickup sales. In traditional pickup strongholds such as North America, Australia, and Southeast Asia, electrification transformation is also gaining momentum.
Radar enters Southeast Asia with Thailand as a stepping stone, but fighting alone has high costs and slow network building. After being incorporated by Geely Automobile, Radar can seamlessly access Geely's mature global distribution system and expand quickly to more markets.
Geely Australia executives have revealed that they are developing a new rugged new energy pickup more tailored to the Australian market demand, planned to be listed within the next 1-3 years, directly benchmarking Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux. This indicates that Geely's ambition is by no means just reigning in the domestic market, but intends to get a share of the pie in the new energy transformation of the global pickup market.
After the sedan and SUV markets are rolled into a "red ocean", pickup - this once niche market, is becoming a key battlefield for car companies to seek growth breakout and explore new paths for going overseas.
This acquisition is a brilliant move on Geely's chessboard, and also a microcosm of the competition dimension of China's new energy vehicle industry being widened again. When pickups meet new energy, the story has just begun.
