English.chinabuses.com: Chinese electric car maker Tianjin Qingyuan Electric Vehicle Co is in talks with Daimler AG to develop an electric version of a van made at the German automaker's joint venture in southeast China, a source said yesterday.
Qingyuan, the first Chinese firm that has sold more than 2,000 self-made electric vehicles in the United States, is seeking to team up with big automakers, domestic and foreign, in tapping the fledgling green car business.
"Many carmakers are either investing or looking to invest in green cars currently and that presents a good business opportunity for a company like Qingyuan," the source, with direct knowledge of the matter said.
"Qingyuan not only wants to make electric cars itself but also hopes to become a major supplier of key components for big auto groups in the electric car business."
It is having discussions with Daimler to develop the electric version of a van produced at Fujian Daimler Auto targeting the China market, but nothing has been finalized, said the source.
Qingyuan is also exploring cooperative opportunities in the green car business with Beijing Hyundai, Hyundai Motor's car venture with Beijing Automotive Industry Holding Corp.
