Passenger vehicles

Yuanhang Auto

On the 2022 Chengdu Auto Show a new EV brand called Yuanhang Auto (Chinese: 远航汽车; pinyin: yuǎnháng qìchē; lit. 'Voyage') was launched by Dayun Group as a premium EV brand based in Yuncheng, Shanxi. At the show, Yuanhang unveiled four cars that were to go into production in 2023.^[4]

The first vehicles to launch were the Y6 mid-size sedan and H8 mid-size three-row SUV in November and December of 2023, which are based on the BHD platform Yuanhang codeveloped with Bosch and Huawei, and use Alibaba's AliOS infotainment system software.^[5] It was followed by the Y7 full-size sedan which launched at the 2024 Beijing Auto Show in April, and the H9 full-size SUV in May 2024.^[6]^[7]

In October 2024, Yuanhang announced that it was undergoing strategic adjustment and reorganization after reports of the company undergoing financial difficulties including cashflow problems due to high competition in the auto market. The reports cited employees who said that there was an ongoing mass exodus of staff after some received delayed salary payments for several months, forced unpaid leave, or layoffs, and that the R&D department's staff count had dropped to low double digits. At the beginning of 2024, Yuanhang had a total of five retail locations located in Beijing, which fell to three stores by November that year, and a store in Haikou was closed after poor sales.^[8]^[9] Later in November, Dayun Auto confirmed Yuanhang had liquidity problems and was in talks with investors. It said that its factories and R&D facilities were to shortly restart operation, and that Dayun Group's other divisions were unaffected by the financial problems.^[10]
