Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Skywell Automobile said it aimed to sell 30,000 vehicles this year, including 4,000 exports.

The company, established by Huang Hongsheng, the founder of local television manufacturer Skyworth Group, sold just 11,100 vehicles in China in 2021 but has set out ambitious medium term growth targets. It is part of the Skywell New Energy Automobile Group, which also encompasses commercial vehicle and related supply chain manufacturing operations.

Skywell has set itself a global sales target of 250,000 electric and hybrid vehicles a year by 2025 with exports expected to account for 80,000 of those as the company eyes growing global demand for low and zero emission vehicles.
