Discover The Brazilian Brand That Brings More Affordable Chinese Electric Vehicles Than BYD, With The Launch Of Five Models Planned For April!
The Brazilian automotive industry is about to receive a revolutionary boost with the arrival of Zeepo Motors. This national brand, based in Guarulhos (SP), is set to launch five new electric vehicle models in April of this year, promising to offer options more accessible than those from BYD, one of the leading brands of electric cars in the market.
Strategic Partnership With Jiangling Motors Corporation (JMC)
Zeepo has recently signed a 20-year exclusive contract with JMC, a renowned Chinese vehicle manufacturer, for the distribution of electric models in Brazil. This strategic partnership will allow Zeepo to market JMC’s vehicles under its own brand, ensuring a diverse and competitive offering in the Brazilian market.
