Recently, some media reported that Aichi Automobile is preparing to land on the science and technology innovation board, and plans to realize IPO in the second half of 20021.

In order to confirm this matter, Caijing Automobile contacted the relevant person in charge of Aichi Automobile, and the other party said that it was indeed actively promoting the landing of the science and technology innovation board, but there was no updated information at present.

Aichi Automobile was founded in February 2007+2065438, and its founder Fu Qiang was the president and CEO of the former Volvo Car China Sales Co., Ltd.

Fu Qiang revealed at the Chengdu Auto Show in July this year that Aichi has made progress in the fifth round of financing, and the details will be disclosed soon. However, to this day, Aichi Automobile has not announced the latest financing situation.

Bai Yiyang, International Research Institute of China Merchants Bank, said that Aichi started late and its product launch and marketing promotion were relatively backward. However, judging from the development of the new energy market, the overall upward trend is very strong. In this environment, the monthly delivery of Aichi is around 200-400, indicating that consumers' understanding of Aichi is still in the process. In terms of product differentiation, there is a big gap between Aichi and the new head forces such as Weilai and Tucki, so we need to do our homework in STP in the future. If the mass production does not exceed 1000, I believe that listing and valuation will face great difficulties next year.

Small sales when financing is difficult.

Compared with Wei Lai and Tucki, Aichi started nearly three years later.

It's not just a matter of starting late. Compared with the first echelon car companies such as Weilai and Tucki, the gap is all-round.

The first is financing. Aichi Automobile's last round of financing can be traced back to 2065438+May 2009.

Aichi Automobile received an investment of 654.38 billion yuan from Chiming Fund. According to the news released by Jiangxi Financial Investment Fund, on May 9 last year, Jiangxi Development and Upgrade Guidance Fund completed the investment in Shangrao Chi Ming New Energy Innovation Investment Center, with a total scale of 654.38 billion yuan, which was specially invested in Aichi Automobile, which was used for the construction of workshops and production lines with an annual output of 300,000 new energy electric vehicles in Shangrao, the research and development of new vehicles and the layout of national electric vehicle sales experience stores.

Previously, Aichi has successively completed four rounds of financing, namely Angel Round, Pre-A Round, A Round and B 1 Round, with a total amount exceeding 7 billion yuan.

An industry insider said that the threshold for new forces to build cars is 654.38+00 billion. Aichi Auto's current financial ability is far from perfect, which is very rare compared with the current market value of tens of billions of dollars in Weilai and Tucki. It's too difficult to succeed.

On the other hand, from the perspective of sales volume, from June 5438 to August this year, the total sales volume of Aichi Automobile was 927, which was far from the head enterprises of the new forces.

In order to boost sales, Aichi Automobile chose the road of simultaneous expansion of domestic and foreign markets at the beginning of its establishment. Since the beginning of this year, Aichi has exported to the European version of the EU? Aichi U5 has reached 700 vehicles, among which Aichi U5 has sold more than 200 overseas individual users since it was listed in the European market in September.

Zhang Xiang, an analyst in the electric vehicle industry, said that the current sales volume of Aichi is really too low to support normal operations. This is mainly because the popularity of Aichi is too low, and users have too few channels to obtain Aichi information.

On the one hand, Aichi Prefecture is short of funds and doesn't have that much money for publicity. There are too few online and offline activities, and even the media rarely contact Aichi, let alone users. On the other hand, as a traditional automobile manufacturer, its appeal and powder absorption ability are much worse than that of Hehe, so he can't use his personal influence to promote enterprises and products.

Aichi U5 Cao Dianduo

20 19 12 19. Aichi U5, the first production car of Aichi Automobile, was officially launched, with four models. The subsidized price is 19.79-292 1 10,000 yuan, and the battery life under NEDC condition reaches 503km.

Zhang Zhiliang, an observer in the automobile industry, said that compared with Tucki G3, BAIC EX5 and even Nezha U, Aichi U5 has no obvious advantages in performance, but its price is tens of thousands higher. This will be embarrassing in the market.

In 2020, Aichi Automobile launched 202 1 Aichi U5 at a reduced price. September17th 202 1 Aichi U5 was upgraded and listed. The new car * * * offers five models: SE, ING+, PRO and Pro+. According to different configurations, the subsidy price range is 17.

This pricing is even more wonderful. Compared with the competitive price, there is still no advantage. Conversely, the old Aichi U5 has neither price advantage nor performance advantage, which is equivalent to completely giving up the old one.

On the other hand, the quality of Aichi U5 is not very reassuring. Aichi entered the European market in order to expand sales. If you want to enter the European market, you must pass the Euro -NCAP safety collision audit.

In June+10, 5438, the latest crash test results were released by Europe -NCAP, including MG HS and MG ZS? EV and Aichi U5 are three domestic models. Surprisingly, however, both MG models achieved five-star collision results, while Aichi U5 only won Samsung.

In terms of specific collision details, the driver's and passenger's protection scores were 73% and 70% respectively, and the five-star MG HS scores were 92% and 865,438+0% respectively.

In addition, the scores of vehicle active safety and traffic participant protection are 55% and 45% respectively. Due to the low score of traffic participant protection and safety auxiliary configuration, the overall performance of the car was further lowered, resulting in the final evaluation score of only Samsung.
