On September 26, 2023, Shangdao Venture Capital Network learned from official sources that Beijing Anlihua Automobile Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Anlihua Automobile") recently announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan in Pre-A round financing. The investors in this round are composed of Jinshajiang Capital, Chizi Fund, Yunshi Global Capital, Yushi Capital, and others. The funds raised this time will mainly be used for research and development of technology, supplementing the team, and other aspects.

Anlihua Automobile: Focusing on the New Energy Pickup Market

In 2021, Anlihua Automobile was established as a new energy vehicle technology company. Anlihua Automobile focuses on overseas markets, starting from platformization and generalization, with intelligence and electrification as the core, and using developed regions in the domestic automotive parts industry as KD export bases for parts. It has launched products such as pure electric pickup trucks and plug-in hybrid power, and produces and sells KD products overseas. At the same time, based on a light asset model, Anlihua Automobile provides complete business planning and feasible implementation plans in multiple stages such as planning, production and manufacturing, research and development design, marketing, and overseas cooperation, greatly reducing the risk of tariff barriers for vehicle exports.

The field of electrification in foreign countries is still in its early stages, with a low overall market penetration rate, and the demand for efficiency improvement and cost reduction in commercial vehicles has not been met. Among them, pickup trucks have strong internal driving force for electrification transformation. Anlihua Automobile takes this as a starting point for this. In terms of team building, the core members of Amway Automotive's founding team come from the Vehicle Engineering major of the Department of Automotive Engineering at Tsinghua University, with over 15 years of industry experience in automotive research and development, marketing, procurement, manufacturing, and overseas markets.

What is the next plan of the financing party Anlihua Automobile?

Mr. Wu Ze'an, founder of Anlihua Automobile, pointed out that the mass production of Anlihua Automobile's first model is currently underway in an orderly manner, which has aroused strong interest and favor from domestic and foreign capital institutions and local industry funds towards the company. The Anlihua team is based in the field of overseas new energy pickup truck market, with "skateboard chassis platform design" as the core, expanding various forms of vehicles including new energy pickup trucks, containerized cargo, and rugged off-road vehicles, accelerating iteration, expanding the coverage area of the audience, and promoting low-carbon cycling in the outdoor travel field. After the completion of this round of financing, Anlihua Automobile will maintain a fast pace of development, based on small steps and landmark nodes, and comprehensively promote financing work. In addition, a new round of financing is also rapidly advancing.

What is the reason for the investment by Yushi Capital?
Mr. Yang Fang, a partner at Yushi Capital, believes that the founding team of Anlihua Automobile has over 15 years of profound practical experience in various aspects of the automotive industry, and has accumulated a full process of research and development, procurement, production, and marketing. The main reason for Yushi Capital's investment in Anlihua Automobile is that this excellent team continues to promote the implementation of the plan, with clear and visible goals.

What is the evaluation of the platform's Shangdao Venture Capital website on this financing event?

Wang Shuai, founder of Shangdao Venture Capital Network, believes that the new energy pickup truck market is an emerging niche field globally. Currently, there are no companies with strong core competitiveness in overseas markets, and it is a blank space in China. Anlihua Automobile has keenly captured this message and, with its strong academic background, utilizes domestic technology and cost advantages to explore overseas markets, enabling localized production of new energy vehicles overseas.
