Jiangsu Tianmei Automobile Co., Ltd., established in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, in November 2019 is a 100% subsidiary of Skywell New Energy Automobile Group Co., Ltd. (which owns 88% of Nanjing Golden Dragon Bus Manufacturing Co., Ltd.).

Skywell Auto Group was founded at the end of 2010 by Huang Hongsheng (alias Stephen Wong Wang-sang), the founder and major shareholder of electronic goods manufacturer Skyworth Group based in Shenzhen. Huang Hongsheng had to give up operational/managerial control of Skyworth Digital Holdings following corruption charges and imprisonment in the 2000s (source). Skywell Auto Group is his second major venture, starting with the acquisition of Nanjing Golden Dragon Bus in 2011.

Three month old company with no manufacturing license, probably nothing more than a refitter and reseller at this juncture.
This is the description of their scope of business:
"General items: sales of used automobiles; sales of automotive decorations; research and development of auto parts; sales of new energy vehicles; sales of new cars; sales of new energy vehicle battery swap facilities".
Industry categorization is "Car decoration supplies sales".
Also note "Automobile Service Co., Ltd." in the name.
Unfortunately there is no picture of the dataplate included in the HX-1's Yiche gallery. Nonetheless, a good find!!

Note: From what I gather, they will be selling the pre-facelift version with the old brand name and old model name.
