Which company does the Qiantu K50 belong to?

[MacKarter]

Qiantu K50 belongs to Qiantu Motors, a subsidiary of CH-AUTO Technology. Qiantu is a professional automotive design and R&D institution in China, formerly known as CH-AUTO Technology. Its business scope covers product positioning, concept planning, automotive styling, engineering design, performance integration, prototype testing, supplier management, platform development, and production services. In terms of appearance, the Qiantu K50 maintains sporty lines without being overly exaggerated. Due to its pure electric powertrain, the traditional grille design is eliminated. The fastback-style rear lines are highly streamlined, and the two-tone body design adds a touch of fashion. Regarding dimensions, the Qiantu K50 measures 4628 mm in length, 2064 mm in width, and 1254 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650 mm.

When I last researched domestic electric sports cars, I specifically looked into the background of the Qiantu K50. This car was developed by CH-Auto. Originally, CH-Auto mainly provided design services for automakers before entering vehicle manufacturing themselves and establishing the Qiantu Auto brand. Launched in 2018, the Qiantu K50 is positioned as a pure electric sports car, featuring extensive use of carbon fiber and accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. Priced at over 700,000 RMB, it was quite bold. Honestly, as a new brand, it faced many challenges, and the delivery volume wasn't particularly large. Recently, I heard they're adjusting their strategy to launch more affordable models, possibly following NIO's approach of starting with high-end models before expanding to mass-market ones.

I've been active in car enthusiast forums for many years and often see discussions about this model. The Qiantu K50 is a product of Qiantu Motors, with its parent company being Beijing CH-AUTO Technology. The company initially started as a full-vehicle design firm, providing solutions for brands like Geely. After producing the K50, it focused on an aluminum alloy frame with carbon fiber body panels, achieving an impressive drag coefficient of 0.28cd. I remember when it launched in 2018, it was claimed to be 300kg lighter than the Tesla Model S, but the lack of supporting charging infrastructure hindered its popularity. Now, with the intense competition in the new energy vehicle sector, they're trying to capture the market with entry-level models like the K20.

Last year when accompanying a friend to look at cars, the salesperson mentioned that Qiantu Motors is owned by CH-Auto Technology. The company was established back in 2003, initially as an automotive design firm, and only obtained new energy vehicle production qualifications in 2015 before launching the Qiantu brand. The K50, as their first product, has a rather unique positioning—with dual motors front and rear delivering 320kW, though its 748,000 RMB price tag is indeed on the higher side. Personally, I find their lightweight technology quite impressive, with the car weighing just 1.9 tons. Their Suzhou factory is still operational, and it's said that new models will feature their self-developed graphene battery technology.
