Shandong Hongri New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. is a new company founded in 2014 in Binzhou, SD, in the process of developing a high-quality LSEV with an all-new design. Their first model called S1 is expected to debut at the ongoing Jinan show (March 2017).

Unfortunately, I could not find any photograph of an entire, completed car at the time of this post.

For details of the car see: http://www.hrddqc.com/qxcx/cddjyc/

Some links on the news page show pictures of the trial production process:

Why the Hongri S1 on the second pic of your last post doesn't have the front-left wheel cover?

 

[dmitra]

Likely a spare wheel/stepney. There are two phone nos. at the end of the Siliconeoil article, so you should call and ask. You might need a Mandarin interpreter though

This model has any copyright or patent? Because it seems well for my EV-ARG project.

 

[dmitra]

Surely there must be patents, because no company would invest in a new plant, equipment and development of an original product design without taking any IP protection.

 

[F.Fernández]

Thanks, I've asked because my EV blueprints are very unsuitable for the Argentinian customer needs.

Hongri U8

The U8 was first shown in March and has been brought again to the ongoing Jinan EV Show. Visually, it is a copy of the Daihatsu Cast Activa/Toyota Pixis Joy C, with Hongri even going to the extent of using suitably edited official images of the Japanese cars in its own promotional material. The U8 has not been launched yet, and neither have specifications been released.
