LEPAS Accelerates Global Expansion with First Electric Vehicle Shipment to South Africa
In a significant move for its international growth, LEPAS, a new player in the electric vehicle market, has successfully completed its inaugural export. On January 26, the company shipped its first batch of over 500 LEPAS L4 electric vehicles from the Taicang port, marking its entry into the South African automotive market.
South Africa serves as a vital hub for the automotive industry on the continent and boasts one of the largest right-hand drive vehicle markets globally. The country's advanced port facilities and logistics infrastructure provide an excellent gateway for foreign brands looking to establish a presence in Africa. The LEPAS L4 model, built on the innovative LEX platform developed by Chery Group, has dimensions of 4400 × 1820 × 1635 mm and a wheelbase of 2700 mm. With a focus on sustainability, this model aligns with the global automotive industry's transition towards new energy sources and is designed to meet the growing demand for high-quality electric vehicles.
From a brand perspective, this initial shipment signifies LEPAS's readiness to deliver stylish and manageable driving experiences for drivers of all skill levels, even in challenging road conditions. By actively gathering feedback from real users, LEPAS is committed to continually enhancing its product offerings and service systems, setting the foundation for market expansion and brand growth.
Upon arrival in Durban, LEPAS plans to leverage South Africa as a strategic base for further outreach to additional markets, utilizing the country's developed vehicle distribution systems and logistic networks. By reinforcing its competitive advantages, LEPAS will adhere to its Group Strategy of “In Somewhere, For Somewhere, Be Somewhere,” focusing on localized operations and innovative solutions to provide ever-intelligent driving experiences to local consumers.
South Africa is just the beginning for LEPAS in its quest for global expansion. The brand aims to further showcase its vehicles, develop its distribution networks, strengthen its market presence, and improve after-sales services across different countries and continents. LEPAS is determined to share its philosophy of a stylish lifestyle globally, promote infrastructure, embrace cutting-edge energy vehicles, and create jobs within the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) industry. The company's long-term vision is to position itself as a key player in the global NEV mobility ecosystem.
