A few days ago, Shenzhen DENZA New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. underwent a change of equity, BYD Automobile Industry Co., Ltd. repurchased the remaining 10% of DENZA Mercedes-Benz (China) Investment Co., Ltd. shares, and DENZA changed from a joint venture to an independent car company.
It is reported that Shenzhen Denza New Energy Automobile Co., Ltd. was established in 2011 as a joint venture jointly established by BYD and Mercedes-Benz, with a registered capital of 7.76 billion yuan, and initially BYD and Mercedes-Benz each held 50% of the shares.
In July 2022, BYD's shareholding in DENZA increased to 90% and Mercedes-Benz was reduced to 10%, and BYD said on a conference call at the time that BYD's strategic development would be led by BYD and supported by Mercedes-Benz.
Now, BYD has won 100% of the shares of DENZA Automobile, which means that DENZA has changed from a "Sino-foreign joint venture" to a "wholly owned enterprise", and Hans Georg Engel, director of industrialization and cooperation at Mercedes-Benz China, has also withdrawn from the list of DENZA shareholders.
It is worth mentioning that at the recent DENZA Z9GT pre-sale conference, BYD Chairman Wang Chuanfu can say that DENZA is actually the first new force in China, "The children of BYD and Mercedes-Benz, it can be said that DENZA is a product and brand born on the shoulders of giants. ”
According to foreign media reports, India has targeted Xiaomi, vivo and other mobile phone manufacturers, believing that collusion with e-commerce platform monopoly.
According to the report, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) exposed in detail the cartel (also known as monopolistic alliances, monopoly interest groups) involving smartphone giants such as Samsung and Xiaomi, as well as e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart.
The regulatory report found that Samsung, Xiaomi and other smartphone companies colluded with Amazon and Walmart's Flipkart to exclusively sell products on the e-commerce companies' India websites, in violation of antitrust laws.
India believes that this anti-competitive behavior not only distorts the market by limiting the supply of these phones on specific platforms, but also puts other sellers at a disadvantage.
India smartphone retailers have long complained about the inability to offer new models like online platforms, causing customers to bypass physical stores to buy.
Previously, Chinese smartphone makers such as Vivo were being forced to sell a majority (at least 51%) stake in their India subsidiary under continued pressure from the India government to be able to continue operations in India.
Tata Group's plan to acquire a majority stake in Chinese smartphone giant Vivo's India operations has stalled due to Apple's opposition.
Xiaomi's second model is an SUV, recently, some netizens took spy photos of this car, and also showed some details of the interior for the first time.
From the outside, the most typical feature is that it has a long front end, and it is easy to put down the V12 engine visually, which is very similar to the style of a traditional fuel luxury car, and indeed has a similar style to a Ferrari SUV.
The advantage of such a design is that it conforms to the traditional aesthetics and can attract the attention and acceptance of fuel vehicle users to the greatest extent, of course, there are also shortcomings, that is, the interior space is compressed.
In addition, the roof of the Xiaomi SUV has a clear downward trend, forming a slip-back posture to reduce wind resistance as much as possible and increase the range.
In terms of interior, the steering wheel, shift paddle, and central control screen of Xiaomi SUV are still the classic style on Xiaomi SU7, but the center console seems to be slightly different, after all, it is an SUV, and it is reasonable to have changes, but I don't know if the flip dashboard can be retained.
The central armrest area is completely different from the current model, the physical buttons previously set here have been eliminated, replaced by a wireless charging panel, cup holder, central armrest layout, and there will be a relatively large storage space in the lower part, interestingly, the design of the double cup holder is similar to that of the ideal car.
In terms of power, referring to Xiaomi SU7, it is expected that Xiaomi SUV will also provide two versions: single motor and dual motor, with a maximum power of 220 kilowatts and a peak torque of 400 Nm·, and a maximum power of 495 kilowatts and a peak torque of 838 Nm· in the dual-motor version, and the pricing will be around 300,000 yuan, and there is a high probability that there will be surprises when it is listed.
