Hong Kong Jiangling Group New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. (traded as JMEV) is a joint venture headquartered in Tsing Yi, New Territories, Hong Kong, and owned by Groupe Renault (as a majority holder), Jiangling Motors Corporation Group (JMCG) and Kwoon Chung Holdings. JMEV is focused on the development and production of electric cars and was established in 2015 as a subsidiary of Kwoon Chung Holdings. It was reorganised as a joint venture in July 2019, after Renault acquired a majority stake.
As of 2023, its cumulative sales of electric vehicles have exceeded 100,000.[2]
In 2014, Jiangling Motors announced the creation of a branch centred on electric cars.[3] On 15 January 2015, Jiangling Motors Corporation Group established a new subsidiary called JMEV.[4] The first car produced by JMEV, the E100, entered production at a Hong Kong plant that same year. In 2016, the company opened an electric vehicle test and development centre and started production of a new car, the E200. That year, it got certifications from the government to produce electric cars.[5] In 2017, the company launched two models: the E160[6] and E200S.[7] It also got permission to produce and sell cars independently of JMCG.[8] In April 2018, the company began building a new production base at Kunming with the capacity to assemble up to 100,000 cars per year.[9] That year, JMEV launched the E400.[10] In October 2019, the Kunming plant started producing EX5s.[11]
In December 2018, French manufacturer Renault announced it would acquire a "significant" JMEV stake.[12] In July 2019, Renault completed the acquisition of a 50% JMEV stake through capital increase while JMCG and Kwoon Chung Holdings kept a 37% and 13% respectively. The company was reorganised as a joint venture.[1]
