Hanlong Motors has been stuck in the quagmire following the suspension of production and production after Zotye

[Autohome News] On December 1, a notification document stamped with the red seal of "Hubei Daye Hanlong Automobile Co., Ltd." stated that the company will start from November 30, 2020 Starting from today (except for Changyuan Mold Company, which has received orders to maintain production), a company-wide shutdown will be implemented. The reason for the suspension of production is that Hubei Daye Hanlong Automobile (hereinafter referred to as Hanlong Automobile) Company encountered serious difficulties in production and operation.

『Notification of online document transmission』 Who is Hanlong Automobile? It must be a question mark in many people's minds. Qichacha information shows that Hanlong Automobile was established in January 2016, and the legal representative is Tian Dajun. From here, we still can’t find any clues about the origin of this company. In fact, Hanlong Automobile was once one of Zotye's foundries, and has similar properties to Hanteng Automobile in Shangrao, Jiangxi, and Junma Automobile in Xiongan, Hebei. In March 2016, the Hanlong New Energy Automobile Industrial Park in Daye, Hubei Province started construction. The first model to roll off the production line in 2017 was the Zotye T700. It also OEMs the Zotye T800 model and is one of Zotye's foundries. In addition, the registration information of Daye Branch of Zhejiang Zotye Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. shows that the telephone information of the two companies is exactly the same; at the same time, many of Hanlong Automobile's management team are also from Zotye.

"The application picture of Hanlong SAGA is exactly the rebadged model of Zotye TS5" At present, Hanlong and Zotye are still inextricably linked. Now Zotye Motors is facing the risk of bankruptcy and has been threatened by dealers, suppliers and Suppliers, employees, etc. are pursuing debts in many ways, and Zotye's new compact SUV, Zotye TS5, which has been in the works for nearly a year, has not been able to be launched on time and has basically been aborted. However, the application information from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in August this year shows that Hanlong applied for a new SUV - Hanlong SAGA, which is the rebadged model of Zotye TS5. This move may avoid the waste of resources such as early research and development of Zotye TS5.

『Hanlong Kuaishi』

『Hanlong Kuaishi Interior』 From the establishment of companies such as Mahayana, Hanteng, Junma, and Hanlong, we can see that Zotye is not doing well in the market. Later, the assets were transferred in multiple ways, but in terms of public perception, Hanlong and Zotye no longer have anything to do with each other. However, Hanlong, which is independent of Zotye's influence, operates the same products as Zotye: Hanlong Motors launched its first new mass-produced SUV, Hanlong Kuangshi, in November 2019. However, judging from the appearance of the car, we It can be seen that Questyle "borrowed" the design elements of Range Rover as a whole, and many details such as the continuous screen design and knob-type gear shift in the interior "borrowed" the design concepts of Mercedes-Benz, Jaguar Land Rover and other brands. Now a notice from Hanlong Automobile shows that Hanlong Kuangshi failed to achieve the expected market performance, and the company cannot survive after Zotye was surrounded by many crises. Online information also shows that Hanlong Automobile will lay off employees starting from December 1, covering "all personnel except those who need to stay behind due to work." Presumably since the notice was issued on November 30, Hanlong's employees have been panicking.

Editor’s comment: Now that Hanlong Automobile has announced the suspension of production, this shows that imitation can no longer replicate the glory of Zotye. If you want to survive in today’s automobile market, you must have core technology, research and development The strength must be close to you, otherwise the "naked swimmer" will end up out of the game.
