Hozon Auto (simplified Chinese: 合众汽车; traditional Chinese: 合眾汽車; pinyin: Hé zhòng qì chē) is a Chinese all-electric car brand, which it is manufactured by the Zhejiang Hezhong New Energy Automobile Company.

History

It was founded in 2014 in the Zhejiang province, co-founded by Beijing Sinohytec and Zhejiang Yangtze Delta Region Institute of Tsinghua University and is based in Jiaxing.[1] It opened an Autonomous Vehicle Research Centre in California's Silicon Valley in 2018, and a Beijing-based Design Centre opened in March 2019.

It announced its first concept car in 2017.[2] The first production model Neta N01 compact SUV was launched in 2018[3] built on its HPA platform along with the launch of the Neta (simplified Chinese: 哪吒汽车; traditional Chinese: 哪吒汽車; pinyin: Nézhā qìchē; lit. 'Nezha car') brand, with orders for the mid-sized Hezhong U SUV based on the HPC platform being taken in 2019.[4] The company has plans for further models based on the two platforms.

In March 2023, Hozon Auto announced the construction of its first oversea production facility in Bangkok, Thailand. The facility is scheduled to operate at the end of January 2024 and will target at manufacturing and exporting right-hand drive electric cars to ASEAN countries.[5]

In November 2023, Neta Auto (Thailand) Co., Ltd. announced that it is collaborating with its partner, Bangchan General Assembly Co., Ltd. (BGAC), to assemble right-hand drive EV in Thailand. The inaugural model, NETA V-II, has already gone offline, and over 12,000 units have been delivered within Thailand.[6]
