Zacks Investment Research | Nov 16, 2017 10:06PM ET
Per a Reuters report, Toyota Motor Corporation (NYSE:TM) has announced that it will sell locally developed electric vehicles (EVs) in China. This is in sync with the company’s strategy to boost its EV line up and act in accordance with the Chinese EV production and sales regulations.
Notably, China has imposed stringent rules for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles that are set to be available in the market from 2019. Moreover, per the new regulations, foreign auto manufacturers, which intend to operate in China, have to tie up with local partners. On the other hand, foreign auto companies are coming up with a bevy of EV deals and new models in order to grab a greater share of the world’s largest auto market. For this, Toyota has entered into a partnership with China FAW Group Corp and Guangzhou Automobile Group.
Besides the development of all-electric vehicles in collaboration with local companies, the Japanese auto giant also has plans of introducing an EV model in China in 2010, which would be designed in Japan.
In fact, global vehicle makers are coming up with new strategies for the Chinese market. Germany’s Volkswagen (DE:VOWG_p) has announced plans of investing more than $12 billion with its partners to make and develop a range of new energy vehicles in China. Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) also made announced that it will invest $754 million with its partner in China.
