El fabricante chino de coches el\u00e9ctricos Xpeng quiere decidir en los pr\u00f3ximos cuatro meses en qu\u00e9 pa\u00edses europeos entrar\u00e1 a continuaci\u00f3n. En una entrevista, el presidente de Xpeng, Brian Gu, tambi\u00e9n indic\u00f3 que la producci\u00f3n de coches el\u00e9ctricos en Europa tambi\u00e9n era concebible en el futuro.<\/p>\n
Tras lanzar el El SUV compacto el\u00e9ctrico G3, en Noruega<\/a>, Xpeng planea decidir pronto qu\u00e9 pa\u00edses europeos ser\u00e1n los siguientes en la lista. Gu no dio ninguna pista en la entrevista con Noticias del autom\u00f3vil<\/em>. Europa tiene muchas marcas establecidas, por lo que se estaban tomando su tiempo y trabajando a fondo, dijo Gu.<\/p>\n El presidente de Xpeng no teme llegar tarde por este motivo. \"No queremos llegar tarde, pero al mismo tiempo es mucho m\u00e1s importante establecer tu marca y tu reputaci\u00f3n adecuadamente cuando eres un reci\u00e9n llegado\", dijo Gu. \"Esto se consigue teniendo la infraestructura adecuada, las ventas y el servicio correctos, y el reconocimiento de marca adecuado. Es f\u00e1cil volcar cientos de veh\u00edculos en un pa\u00eds, pero as\u00ed no se desarrolla un negocio\".<\/p>\n Tambi\u00e9n dijo que se estaba estudiando la posibilidad de vender la berlina el\u00e9ctrica P7 en Europa, pero que a\u00fan no se hab\u00eda tomado ninguna decisi\u00f3n al respecto. A continuaci\u00f3n, Gu a\u00f1ade m\u00e1s margen para la interpretaci\u00f3n: \"En el futuro, tendremos m\u00e1s en cuenta los requisitos europeos en el desarrollo del veh\u00edculo\". As\u00ed que es muy posible que el P7 no sea adecuado a ojos de Gu o que se est\u00e9 utilizando como globo sonda para comprender mejor los gustos y requisitos europeos.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El fabricante chino de coches el\u00e9ctricos Xpeng quiere decidir en los pr\u00f3ximos cuatro meses en qu\u00e9 pa\u00edses europeos entrar\u00e1 a continuaci\u00f3n.

Instead, the company plans to expand its product lineup with a focus on China\/Europe. After another electric sedan was announced a few days ago<\/a> as the third model after the G3 and P7, which is to go into series production before the end of 2021, a larger SUV based on the P7 platform will follow as the fourth model in 2022, which will be produced at the manufacturer’s second plant<\/a>, the construction of which began a few months ago.<\/p>\n As part of that, he said, a plant in Europe is also a possibility. “If you have a large volume, you increase trade tensions between China and Europe [if you only import models], therefore having local capacity is much better. It is also better logistically,” Gu says. At the same time, he says, it’s probably better in Europe to take over an existing plant.<\/p>\n Xpeng also wants volume to come quickly. Unlike Nio, he says, the company is not a brand for the super-rich but is targeting the $30,000 to $45,000 segment or about 25,000 to 37,000 euros. The focus on this “most attractive market segment” is a distinguishing feature from other Chinese OEMs. Besides, there is strength in software development. While most competitors work with Tier 1 suppliers, Xpeng is the only manufacturer besides Tesla with end-to-end software development. However, there were disputes with Tesla on this very point. As reported, Tesla had sued a former employee in 2019 for taking autonomous driving software to Xpeng.<\/p>\n Gu gave a thumbs down to in-house battery manufacturing, as currently, Xpeng buys cells from CATL. ” It’s very capital intensive, but also a big technology risk that we don’t think we should take,” the Xpeng president said. “We want to work with leading suppliers, but we also want to control some of the key technologies; for example, we do our own battery management systems.”<\/p>\n
