According to media reports, Sky Auto (Changsha) Group Co., Ltd. issued a notice saying that due to the company's financial situation and production and sales plans, some positions in the company will be suspended from production on April 1, 223. During the suspension of production, employee social security is still declared according to the original base. However, after the first payment cycle, the relevant employees will pay the living expenses according to the local minimum wage until the company resumes production. During this period, employees can find new employment opportunities on their own and leave their jobs voluntarily.

tianyancha shows that Tianji Automobile (Changsha) Group Co., Ltd. was established in September 218, and used to be named "Changsha Dianka Auto Parts Manufacturing Co., Ltd." with a registered capital of 62 million yuan. According to the shareholding structure, Changsha Tianji New Energy Industry Investment Fund Partnership (Limited Partnership) is the largest shareholder, holding 66.23%. According to a person who is close to Sky Auto, the jobs that are notified to stop production are mainly in factories and sales departments, and other departments have not received the notice at present. In addition, it is true that wages have not been paid for more than two months since the year, and the follow-up situation is still unknown.

when it comes to Skycar, I have to mention Jia Yueting. At that time, after Jia Yueting decided to devote himself to the field of car-making, he set up three car companies, namely LeTV, Faraday Future and Electric Cafe, and the electric café car was the predecessor of Sky Car. However, compared with LeTV and Faraday Future, the electric café car was much more low-key. After two years of polishing, the electric coffee vehicle launched the electric coffee ·EV1 in November 217. After the subsidy, it was about 59,8-67,8 yuan, and the NEDC cruising range was 155km, which was manufactured by Southeast Automobile.

looking at the new car brands of the same period, the electric coffee car is definitely one of the earliest companies to start delivery. However, with the break of the capital chain of LeTV system, and Jia Yueting leaving the United States, leaving a sentence of "returning to China next week", Zhang Hailiang, then the head of the company, was forced to lead a group of senior executives to leave LeTV, taking the electric coffee car as the carrier, and hatched the Sky Car.

In July p>218, E-Cafe Automobile released its high-end brand-Enovate. In March 219, "Zhejiang Dianka Automobile Technology Co., Ltd." was officially changed to "Tianji Automobile Technology Group Co., Ltd.". After the establishment of the new company, Zhang Hailiang knew that low-end products could not lead Skyline to success, so he brought the first mass-produced model, Skyline ME7, at the Guangzhou Auto Show in 218, and then started the pre-sale at the Shanghai Auto Show in 219. The pre-subsidy price was 36.68-38.18 million yuan. It was originally planned to be listed and delivered in the first quarter of 22, but it was finally delayed until September 22, and the comprehensive subsidy price was 21 yuan. In July 221, the ——ME5, the second mass production car of Sky Auto, went on the market, with a price range of 149,9-159,9 yuan.

ME7 is a pure electric vehicle, while ME5 is an extended-range hybrid vehicle. Looking at the posters released by Sky Auto on various platforms, ME5 focuses on "Endurance Anxiety", but this is also the content that almost all new energy brands will emphasize, which makes the products of Sky ME5 lack bright spots. As a result, Skycar rarely publishes delivery data on its own initiative, but relevant data show that in 222, the total sales volume of Skycar was 5,321 vehicles, which was less than the monthly sales volume of the new head-building force.

Although the sales volume is not good, Sky Auto has set up two vehicle factories in China. The first factory is located in Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province. The planned project covers an area of 1, mu, with a total investment of 5.5 billion yuan and a designed annual production capacity of 18, vehicles. The second factory, located in Changsha, Hubei Province, was put into operation in June 221, mainly producing ME5 vehicles with a designed annual production capacity of 6, vehicles.

According to the sales figures, there is a serious problem of overcapacity in the factory of Skycar, but even under such circumstances, Skycar is still promoting the establishment of factories overseas. In December, 222, Sky Auto announced the establishment of a joint venture company with Saudi local Sumou Holding, and * * * invested about 5 million US dollars in Saudi Arabia in two phases to set up a manufacturing and R&D base for new energy vehicles, with an annual output of about 1, new energy vehicles.

Saudi Arabia is one of the important destinations for China automobile brands to go to sea. Relevant data show that in the first half of this year, China exported 91, cars to Saudi Arabia, ranking third among China's automobile export destinations. As far as brands are concerned, the sales of Changan Automobile rank among the top three in the local automobile market this year, and the sales of SAIC MG and Geely Automobile also rank among the top ten.

as a famous "oil kingdom", Saudi Arabia is also promoting diversified business development. The country has put forward the goal of "Vision 23" to increase the share of non-oil exports to 5% of GDP. Saudi media reported that the country has placed the electric vehicle industry in an important position in its "Vision 23" economic diversification plan.

In addition, according to 36Kr's Future Auto Daily, Sky Auto will complete a new round of financing of over 75 million yuan to promote the resumption of work and production. The above funds will arrive on March 24th at the latest, so it is not convenient for the financier to disclose them for the time being. However, until today, Skycar has not released the above financing information, but it has been shut down again. The Tram Report believes that it is not easy for Skycar to obtain financing in the current market environment, especially in the context of the quarterly involution of the new energy vehicle market. Compared with other new power brands, Skycar lacks market scale, coupled with frequent news of shutdown and production, the days ahead may become more and more sad.
