Chinese electric cars: Juneyao Air, born from an airline, price and details

In the history of European companies, relationships with the aeronautical world are not rare: if Rolls Royce remains the second largest manufacturer of civil aircraft engines in the world after General Electric, in the past Fiat – which had a specialized division and then progressively sold the activities – and BMW were important players. And again the Swedish Saab, between 1945 and 1990, successfully dedicated itself to the production of cars and aircraft before being spun off, ending up in the first case working with General Motors. But it had never happened before that an airline decided to build cars. It could only happen in China, where there is an increasing number of companies in other sectors seriously trying their hand at the topic. Xiaomi and Huawei are the two most recent examples. Juneyao Airlines is a Chinese airline founded in 2005 that also offers international flights to Europe, Australia and the rest of Asia. He began to be interested in the world of four wheels in 2023, when he created Juneyao Automobile, purchasing the start-up Yudo which was in financial difficulty.
