As we all know, Lifan Technology (Group) Co., Ltd. re-launched thanks to the help of "white knight" Geely. Lifan Technology (Group) Co., Ltd. was formerly known as Lifan Co., Ltd. Founded in 1997, Lifan Co., Ltd. was once a well-known "motorcycle king" in China. Now after going through bankruptcy and reorganization, Lifan shares have ushered in a series of adjustments one after another.
Beginning in September 2020, under the strong leadership of the Chongqing Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Liangjiang New Area will focus on the restructuring process in accordance with the principle of "rule of law and marketization", promote Lifan to complete the restructuring, and introduce Manjianghong Fund and Geely Geely Maijie Investment Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the technology, is a strategic investor and an industrial investor.
Then on January 26 this year, Lifan Technology officially introduced Geely Technology Group's first battery-changing new model. On May 18, Lifan Technology's first battery-swapped new model officially rolled off the production line at the Caijia production base in Chongqing. The company also officially announced that in addition to the mass-produced 80v, Lifan Technology will launch two more battery-swappable models this year, the 60S and 80X, targeting the online booking, rental and official vehicle markets respectively.
The 60S is a battery-swap sedan for the taxi market, and the 80X is a large-scale battery-swap SUV, which is mainly aimed at business car customers. In addition, a number of new battery-changing models that meet market demand will be launched one after another. On September 22, the first batch of 100 Lifan Maple Leaf 80V battery-changing taxis was officially delivered and put into operation.
"This not only means that Chongqing's taxi market will usher in a new upgrade of energy exchange and driving, but also represents the confidence and determination of Geely and Lifan to help Chongqing build a model city for battery exchange mode." At that time, the relevant person in charge of Lifan Technology Said that battery swap travel is a new topic, which is in line with the national strategy of green environmental protection and coordinated development. The Lifan Maple Leaf 80V delivered this time are all battery-swappable models, and the vehicle can be swapped in as fast as 60 seconds.
According to the "Notice on Starting the Pilot Work of the Application of the Battery Swap Mode for New Energy Vehicles" recently issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it was decided to start the pilot work of the application of the battery swap mode for new energy vehicles. Chongqing is one of the eight comprehensive application cities.
