Li Auto names distributors for planned Singapore and Hong Kong entry
The electric-vehicle maker also signed partnerships for three Southeast Asian markets on 10 November.
Li Auto Inc. is preparing to enter Singapore and Hong Kong, appointing general distributors as it expands its Asia-Pacific network. The Chinese electric-vehicle manufacturer said Singapore would be served by Wearnes Automotive, while Zung Fu Group Hong Kong would cover Hong Kong.
The company will unveil its first flagship model with right-hand drive, Li MEGA, in December at the Thailand International Motor Expo. A launch in Hong Kong will follow for both the vehicle and the brand. Li Auto said its goal was to introduce more than one model with right-hand drive within one year.
Separately, agreements signed on 10 November cover three markets: Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam. Thai operations will be managed by a Li Auto subsidiary, working with dealers Evante and Infinite Automobile Company. The Philippine partner is Dangdang New Energy Auto Service, while Vietnam will be served by Neera Motors.
The arrangements follow similar agreements Li Auto reached in April for Macao, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar.
