At the end of 2021, the entry of technology Internet companies into the automotive field is not a new thing, but their movement is still a topic that everyone is willing to pay attention to and discuss. On December 13, some media reported that Xiaomi Group will "double-line car manufacturing", in addition to Xiaomi itself, its ecological chain enterprise Zhimi will also join the car-making team. After various details were revealed, things seemed very "realistic". However, Xiaomi officials responded on December 14, saying that there was no such plan.
Xiaomi makes cars
According to the wisdom car faction, Xiaomi public relations general manager @ Wang Hua responded to the public today in response to the "Xiaomi Group double-line car manufacturing" incident. In response to Weibo, he said that Xiaomi has no plans for two-line car building. Zhimi is a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise, and Xiaomi Group will not directly participate in Zhimi's strategic decision-making. Wang Hua also said that Zhimi Company, out of interest in researching electric vehicles, formed a small team and was doing very early work. Finally, he also revealed that Xiaomi will synchronize the progress of car construction with everyone through official channels at the right time.
Xiaomi does not have a two-line car plan
It is worth mentioning that the Xiaomi car manufacturing business is currently led by Lei Jun personally, and as early as before the official announcement, Lei Jun led several executives to conduct quite a number of investigations. After the official announcement, Lei Jun put most of his energy on car-making work, and in recent times, Lei Jun has stepped down from important positions in a number of Xiaomi-affiliated companies, which is generally considered to be a major signal of his focus on car-making.
