It turns out that an agreement has been signed at SPIEF between the Irkutsk Region Development Corporation and the Sichuan Bus Company. The parties agreed to establish a joint Russian-Chinese production of electric vehicles and electric buses.

The partners managed to develop a roadmap for the project and set up a working group to implement it. In turn, the government of Irkutsk is looking for a production site to accommodate the future car factory.

We add that the aforementioned Sichuan Bus Manufacturing is more famous for its buses. However, the portfolio of the Chengdu city manufacturer also includes minivans and crossovers, including electric ones.

Let’s add that “heavenly” cars can become popular among, at least, Irkutsk citizens. In its native China, the Yema E70 EV family model (photo) costs less than 900,000 rubles, but at the same time it can overcome quite a decent 350 kilometers.

However, as practice has shown, the influx of mass cars from China not only has not happened so far, but is also not expected in the near future. Why the Russians began to massively turn away from new cars from China, the AvtoVzglyad portal says.
