Xpeng Motors acquired Foday Motor as it wished, and finally obtained the production qualification.

For every new car-making force, production qualification is a difficult problem they need to face. After all, it is not difficult to create the first impression in the market with the concept of the Internet, but it is not easy to solve the production qualification from the prototype design to the real car landing, so it is not easy to obtain the production qualification. Therefore, it is a very mainstream practice for new power enterprises to produce models by OEM. For example, Tucki uses Haima's production line to produce its main product, Tucki G3, and Weilai relies on Jianghuai's production line to put into production.

However, the qualification of vehicle production is the "golden signboard" that an automobile brand ultimately needs to obtain, especially for the new forces who want to wrestle with the overseas new energy giant Tesla. (Tesla Giga Shanghai has almost got a green light from construction to production qualification, policy subsidies and real vehicle listing. )

Recently, according to the news and data released by Tianyancha, an authoritative enterprise information platform in China, Guangdong Fudi Automobile Co., Ltd. has completed the equity change. The newly introduced shareholder is Zhaoqing Tucki New Energy Investment Co., Ltd., which is wholly owned by it, and the original shareholder has completed the withdrawal. Zhaoqing Tucki New Energy Investment Co., Ltd. was established by Xingpeng Automobile on February, 2004 with a registered capital of 1 100 million yuan. The company's business scope includes self-owned capital investment, energy management services, battery charging services for electric vehicles, and research and development of electric vehicles.

After the handover period of equity change, Tucki will naturally obtain its own production qualification, which will provide more complete conditions for the production of the main product, the new Tucki P7, launched this year, and even a series of new products required by Tucki.

Silent but complete Foday car

For younger car enthusiasts, Foday may not be well known. But in fact, Foday Automobile is an influential automobile enterprise in Guangdong automobile industry. The history of vehicle production can be traced back to 1988. It is a key automobile production enterprise recognized by the National Development and Reform Commission and a high-tech enterprise in Guangdong Province, with an annual output of 654.38+10,000 vehicles and an annual output of 300,000 vehicles. The main production models are SUVs and pickups. Once in the surrounding markets of Guangdong, its "Explorer III" series SUV and "Leap Series" SRV models also had considerable exposure and market coverage.

In addition to the vehicle production capacity, it has also been involved in the car body parts supporting business, and has formed a long-term car body parts supporting relationship with Futian, Dongfeng, Great Wall, Huanghai and Changfeng. Although it is a private car company, it has a perfect production quality control system and belongs to a very high-quality industry asset. However, due to the changes in the market, Foday's own market influence has been greatly reduced, and the wholly-owned presence of Tucki will bring new vitality to Foday, which has been slightly silent.

The acquisition does not affect the relationship between Tucki and Haima.

As we all know, Xpeng has established a long-term cooperative relationship with Haima, and it is precisely because of Haima's production qualification that Tucki G3 can become an influential product in the field of China brand new energy vehicles. The equity change of Spang Automobile in Foday production line will not affect the relationship between Tucki and Haima. On the contrary, it is more beneficial for Tucki to make use of diversified production resources and capital channels, continuously optimize brand influence and industrial structure, further enhance the industrial influence of Xpeng Motors in the field of smart cars, and transform itself from "a new industry force" to "a new smart car enterprise in China".

The "qualification war" has started, and the new forces will begin the process of big waves and sand scouring.

In addition to looking for factory OEM, the acquisition of qualified enterprises and production lines has also become the mainstream competition channel for the new forces, such as Weimar Automobile's acquisition of Zhongshun, Baiteng's acquisition of FAW Huali and Chehejia's acquisition of Lifan. And Wei lai is even more special. By signing an agreement with the municipal government to settle in China, we can solve the problems of capital and production qualification with a stronger background than buying a single automobile factory. This seemingly "curve saving the country" way can not only revitalize the old qualified enterprises that have entered the stage of silence or even elimination, but also be an effective "shortcut" to solve the worries of new forces in the production process of real vehicles.

The shift from OEM mode to self-owned factory with production qualification may also mean that the new forces will face a new round of internal competition. With the new energy vehicles gradually entering the market, new power enterprises began to be accepted by more consumers and a broader market environment. The products under the new power brand will face the next test, that is, the efficiency, cost and quality control ability of the factory; Whether the automobile product strength is excellent or not has always been an important factor for an automobile brand and model to stand the test of time in the market. Therefore, the reliability of production qualification will be an important basis for accelerating the elimination of weak enterprises and forming industry leading brands in the new power field in the future.
