Chinese ride-hailing giant Didi Chuxing is making another push into the white-hot electric-car making business through a tie-up with Guangzhou Automobile Group’s electric vehicle unit GAC Aion.
In November, Didi and BYD launched the D1 as the world’s first fully electric vehicle designed for ride-hailing produced at volume.
A lengthy list of Chinese technology heavyweights have announced plans to enter the car market in recent months as the industry rallies behind an unprecedented shift toward electric vehicles (EVs) that are increasingly autonomous and connected.
