Why did the two-car super project come to a standstill?

Speaking of PPT, besides FF owned by Jia Yueting, Ranger is also a typical example. Ranger X released four years ago has not been mass-produced, but the actual situation may be worse. The construction of Huzhou Super Factory, which has high hopes, is progressing slowly, and there are still many variables in mass production.

? A few days ago, the reporter of "China Business News" visited the Huzhou Super Factory of Youxia Automobile and found that the factory had been shut down for more than half a year, and the on-site project construction headquarters had also been evacuated, leaving only one security guard as the janitor. At the same time, the reporter of "China Business News" found that another super factory of Ranger Auto in Linfen was even more thunderous, and even the formal signing was not completed, and the construction was in the foreseeable future.

In this regard, Well Lee, co-founder and marketing director of Ranger Auto, responded that the main reason is that the company's strategy has been greatly adjusted. Previously, Huzhou Super Factory planned to produce only one Ranger X, and now it hopes to carry at least four models. At present, the construction plan is being optimized and adjusted. "It is expected that the new plan will be re-planned in June 5438+10, and the mass production of new cars will be off the assembly line in the third quarter of next year."

He also revealed that Company A's B and B+ three rounds of accumulated financing amounted to $654.38+0.25 billion, which will be mainly invested in R&D and factory construction. These funds will support the first-phase mass production of Huzhou Super Factory. After all, the company has limited energy. I hope to build Huzhou Super Factory first. "Now the environment is not very good. Huzhou Super Factory reduced its total scale to 6,543,800 vehicles. If the construction period of 200,000 vehicles is long as planned, the company will be cautious about the future market. "

Instead of worrying that the construction period of Huzhou Super Factory will be lengthened according to the annual production capacity of 200,000 vehicles, Ranger simply does not have enough funds to support the construction of a factory with greater production capacity. After all, it's been 1 year since Ranger completed the B+ round of financing, and the enthusiasm of the capital market for investing in new forces to build cars is not as good as in previous years, but has turned calm.

It is worth noting that in April this year, Ranger Motor announced the launch of global large-scale recruitment. At that time, he also advertised that he was the only one among all new car manufacturers with two self-built production bases, corresponding to two models of cars and SUVs respectively. "The overall production capacity can reach 200,000 vehicles, and the next-generation electric vehicle smart car factory will be put into mass production in 2020 and 20021year."

At the same time, Ranger stressed that the choice of introducing talents on a large scale at this time should be that the layout of dual products and dual factories has been set and it has begun to enter the next stage of development. "Ranger may create a new river again and become the first new car manufacturer to release two products at the same time at the press conference. The possibility of this speculation coming true is rising. "

Now, it seems that the two self-built super factories that Ranger Auto is proud of have been severely hit by the cruel reality: Huzhou Super Factory stopped working, even after it resumed work in June+10 in 5438, the annual production capacity was halved, and it started in June 20 17, which was originally expected to be officially completed in May this year; Linfen Super Factory can't even see the shadow at all, and the vital links such as signing the contract and laying the foundation stone have not been promoted.
