El fabricante de autom\u00f3viles chino Qiantu Motor ha encontrado un socio en el fabricante californiano de veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos Mullen Technologies. Van a homologar, ensamblar y comercializar en Norteam\u00e9rica el deportivo el\u00e9ctrico Qiantu K50, un elegante biplaza con elementos de carbono.<\/p>\n
No esperamos que haya o\u00eddo hablar mucho de ninguna de las dos empresas. La \u00faltima vez que Qiantu apareci\u00f3 en nuestro radar fue en 2016, cuando recibieron una de las poqu\u00edsimas licencias de producci\u00f3n de coches el\u00e9ctricos en China.<\/p>\n
As\u00ed, Qiantu es una filial al 100% del grupo chino CH-Auto y hace dos a\u00f1os planeaba la producci\u00f3n piloto del coche el\u00e9ctrico K50.<\/p>\n
Avancemos r\u00e1pidamente hasta 2018 y Mullen entra en escena. El joven fabricante de VE ha estado trabajando para sacar al mercado el Mullen 700e, un sucesor de la limusina el\u00e9ctrica de Coda, que quebr\u00f3 en 2013.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Now it looks as if both Mullen and Qiantu are joining forces to finally launch an electric vehicle. The K50 from Qiantu is set to make it to the USA by 2020, with reservations via Mullen to open next year.<\/p>\n
Both parties promise that the 296 kW electric sports car will be surprisingly affordable, possibly also through saving import tariffs as the K50 will be assembled in the States. Moreover, they are to combine import of ready-to-assemble components from China with key components from the USA.<\/p>\n
Sales will be sorted by Mullen Technologies, that also owns Mullen Auto Sales, a series of automobile dealerships. In addition, they have CarHub, a digital platform for buying, selling and owning a car so that the partnership will rely largely on their distribution.<\/p>\n
