Past Performance of Fangchengbao | Future Development Planning

According to Fangchengbao's General Manager Xiong Tianbo, since its launch in November last year, the cumulative sales of Bao 5 have exceeded 25,000 units, with an average monthly sales of around 3,000 units.

In terms of product planning, Xiong Tianbo said that Fangchengbao will have electric off-road products in the future, like Bao 5 and Bao 8, which are hard-core SUVs with beam structures. They will also expand hard-core SUVs without beams to meet the need for urbanized, livable hard-core needs. At the same time, they will also equip BYD's latest smart driving system and implement it comprehensively in their products.

About Fangchengbao Bao 8, Xiong Tianbo says that more detailed product information will be released in September, and it is hoped that from the launch to the market and the delivery pace, the car can be delivered to users as soon as possible. At the same time, he also revealed that Bao 8 will have a surprise in terms of smart driving experience and that basically Fangchengbao will launch new products every quarter starting from the next quarter.

In terms of distribution channels, Xiong Tianbo also released new information. Within one year, Fangchengbao has built almost 200 direct-sales stores, achieving the initial anticipated scale in terms of coverage and quantity.

In addition, Xiong Tianbo pointed out the need to further strengthen the position, stating that Fangchengbao's recognition within the field is okay, but its recognition outside the field needs to be improved. Furthermore, there are fewer channels, the main sales area of hard-core off-road products is in the northwest, but the number of channels in the northwest accounts for less than 40% of the total, so the current user coverage is insufficient and there is still much room for improvement.
