Xiaomi responded to the rumors of two-line car manufacturing: there is no such plan

Recently, some media reported that Xiaomi Holdings' ecological chain company Zhimi Technology has joined the car-making army, and Ma Yongdong, former head of GM Pan-Asia's electric vehicle project, has joined in charge of Zhimi's vehicle business, and at the same time, many of BAIC's electrical and electronic architecture personnel have also recently joined Zhimi.

In addition, some car design companies are already in contact with Zhimi to dock the vehicle design work. At that time, another source revealed: "Zhimi Technology's car-making business is currently independent of Xiaomi Automobile, and Zhimi's car-making direction is also passenger cars, and the first car is SUV." ”

On December 14, Wang Hua, general manager of Xiaomi's public relations department, debunked rumors on his personal Weibo report that "Xiaomi Group's double-line car manufacturing" was reported in the media. Wang Hua said: First, Xiaomi does not have a two-line car manufacturing plan; second, Zhimi is a Xiaomi ecological chain enterprise, and Xiaomi Group will not directly participate in Zhimi's strategic decision-making.

Wang Hua explained this: Zhimi Company is an ecological chain enterprise, out of interest in researching electric vehicles, so it has formed a small team, and is currently doing very early work.

In addition, Wang Hua also responded to the news that "Lei Jun quit a number of Xiaomi-affiliated companies" reported by the media: it is a normal change.

Wang Hua said on his personal Weibo that Lei Jun's energy this year is mainly focused on car-making related matters, and executives can already share some of the relevant work and responsibilities, "I believe that everyone remembers at the investor meeting Lei Zong happily revealed that 'the current progress of Xiaomi car manufacturing is faster than I expected. This information has shown that xiaomi's work of building cars has accelerated. The things that can be ignored must be ignored. ”

Wang Hua said that he thanked everyone for their attention to Xiaomi's car-making, and they would synchronize the progress of car-making with everyone through official channels at the right time.
