For his part, NextEV founder and chairman, William Li added: “NextEV believes electric vehicles’ core components and their related products will be the next battleground for the industry and we have developed our own proprietary intellectual technologies, on par and exceeding international standards, like the drive system assembly through our emphasis and investments in Research and Development.
“Chinese enterprises need to cooperate to develop complementary synergies in win-win relationships in order for China’s electric automotive industry to be globally competitive.
“To this end, NextEV is willing to share our technologies, and build key components for other domestic electric vehicle manufacturers.”
