Everybody wants to join the electric car revolution
in China. Everybody. The latest entrant is none other than CRRC Corporation
Limited (CRRC),
the largest rolling stock manufacturer in the world.
They make hundreds of
different locomotives and railroad cars, selling quite successfully all over
the world. And now this great company wants to diversify into electric road
cars.
Their first car will be an electric sedan, it will
hit the market in 2019. It looks far too much like an Audi, mixing elements of
the B6 and B7 Audi A4, and topping it all off with a big black grille.
One cannot help but wonder
why a company like CRRC, with 338 billion RMB in assets (2016), cannot come up
with something more original.
The interior is very classic, for a 2019 electric
car. There are dark-brown leather sears, a wide arm rest, a dark black
dashboard, and a relatively small touch screen.
