China’s iconic Hongqi starts selling first electric vehicle
CHANGCHUN, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — China's automaker FAW Group on Sunday began selling the first electric model of its iconic Hongqi brand to get a slice of the country's booming new energy vehicle market.
The Hongqi E-HS3, a pure electric sport utility vehicle model, is priced between 225,800 yuan (around 32,000 U.S. dollars) to 265,800 yuan, said the carmaker.
The new model has a range of up to 407 km under the New European Driving Cycle, and it takes only around 15 minutes to charge from 30 percent to 80 percent.
The first car of Hongqi, or Red Flag, was made in 1958. It is one of China's iconic sedan brands and its vehicles have been used for parades at national celebrations.

Online used car platform “heycar” expands internationally
BRAUNSCHWEIG, 15-Aug-2019 — /EuropaWire/ — Successful online used car marketplace “heycar” expands internationally into the United Kingdom. Providing high-quality used vehicles with warranty to used car buyers in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland at www.heycar.co.uk. The heycar brand operates under Mobility Trader UK Ltd. in the United Kingdom. Mobility Trader UK is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mobility Trader Holding GmbH and is a sister company of the German Mobility Trader GmbH. Mobility Trader Holding GmbH’s shareholders are Volkswagen Financial Services AG with 80 percent of the shares and Daimler Mobility AG with 20 percent.
Frank Fiedler, CFO of Volkswagen Financial Services AG, comments: “We are pleased that heycar has now taken the first step towards an international expansion. Following the positive reception of heycar in Germany, we now want to serve dealers and customers in the United Kingdom just as successfully and thus further expand our used car business.”
heycar brings greater transparency and trust to the used car market in the UK. Through partnerships with trusted dealers, all major automotive brands are available in heycar. All vehicles offered at heycar are less than eight years old and have done less than 100,000 miles and come with a warranty. Being the second largest used car market in Europe, United Kingdom benefits from heycar’s simpler solution to search for and find their used car, complete with a finance quote, in a seamless online journey.
Mat Moakes CEO of Mobility Trader UK Ltd, added: “The UK used car market, the second largest in Europe after Germany, works inefficiently for buyers and dealers. heycar will disrupt this industry through a simple, tech-led proposition and will take market share from the incumbents to become the number one site for high quality used cars in the UK.”
heycar starts in the UK with over 100,000 used cars from nearly 50 brands and as the company expands partnerships with dealer groups across the UK, it will continue to add more vehicles to its platform.
heycar was launched in Germany in October 2017. Currently, around 400,000 vehicles from different brands are available on the platform.

NANJING, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) — An unmanned delivery car with 5G wireless technology hit the roads in the city of Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province over the weekend.
The white mini car, with a height of about 0.5 meters, was launched in Jiangbei New Area by Suning Logistics, a subsidiary of Chinese e-commerce giant Suning to support the company's smart retail service.
A customer surnamed Shi, placed an order over his mobile phone. Then, Sun Rongrong, a shop assistant at a convenience store of Suning, put the drinks Shi ordered in the unmanned car and created a password for the customer before the delivery.
Taking only five minutes, the 5G-assisted delivery car sent the drinks to Shi's company and sent a short message letting him know it had arrived. After Shi got his drinks, the car also issued a voice message to him: “Goodbye, remember to miss me!”
