Shanghai (ZXZC)- Recently, Mobike signs agreement with Guizhou Xinte Electric Motor to conduct cooperation in customized sharing vehicles, E-electric vehicles, constructing sharing platforms for intelligent electric vehicles and establishing investment funds for sharing vehicles.
It’s reported that the project is part of a new energy industrial fund project with a total investment of RMB 10b in Guizhou Province. Guizhou Xinte Electric Motor will produce customized Mocar specialized products, hinting that Mobike car-sharing platform may be renamed as “Mocar” in the future.
In June, Mobike registered a new travelling service company and signed strategic agreement with Shouqi Limousine & Chauffeur, a ride-sharing service provider in September. Now Mobike APP covers ride-sharing services in cities including Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenzhen and Wuhan.
