Has Huachi Power Disappeared?
2 Answers
Huachi Power has not disappeared. Here is some relevant information about automobiles: 1. Definition of an automobile: According to the latest national standard in China, 'Terms and Definitions of Motor Vehicles and Trailers' (GB/T3730.1—2001), an automobile is defined as a non-track vehicle powered by an engine, with four or more wheels, primarily used for transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles that carry people and/or goods; or for special purposes. 2. Introduction to domestic automobile brands: Domestic automobile brands include Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc.
I couldn't help but sigh when I came across news about Huachi Power recently. This brand that made a high-profile debut in 2016 once claimed it would build domestic performance cars, even boldly advertising engine parameters reaching 290 horsepower. But digging deeper revealed their reality: factories were leased, core technologies entirely procured, with mass production promises broken three times. The most ironic part? Last year at an auto parts market in Hangzhou, I saw their touted 1.8T engine being sold as salvage parts. Rather than disappearing, it's more accurate to say it never truly existed—a brand that never even made it onto MIIT's new vehicle catalog was essentially just a capital game. Now even their official website domain has expired, with after-sales service completely untraceable.
