In response to recent media reports on the rumors of Xiaomi Group's two-line car manufacturing, Wang Hua, general manager of xiaomi group's public relations department, officially responded on his personal Weibo: "Xiaomi has no two-line car planning. Zhimi is a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise, and Xiaomi Group will not directly participate in Zhimi's strategic decision-making. Out of interest in researching electric vehicles, Zhimi has formed a small team to do very early work. ”
Previously, many BAIC technicians have recently joined Zhimi, and Ma Yongdong, a veteran in the automotive industry, will also join to take charge of Zhimi's vehicle business. Zhimi Technology's automotive business and Xiaomi Auto remain independent, which means that the two sides are developing in parallel. It is reported that The first model of Zhimi will be an SUV.
Zhimi Technology is a Xiaomi ecological chain company specializing in air conditioners, air purifiers and other products. Zhimi Technology is a holding subsidiary of Xiaomi, while other ecological chain companies such as Stone Technology and Chaomi Technology have only a small amount of equity investment in Xiaomi.
