October 13, 2021: -The electric vehicle unit of embattled Chinese property developer Evergrande said its first cars would roll off the production line in the coming year.
The debt-laden company said that it met with suppliers and the local government in Tianjin, the production base is, and pledging to push forward with mass production of its Hengchi-branded cars.
Shares of China Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group were up above 10% in morning trade but pared few of those gains. They closed almost 4.5% higher in Hong Kong.
Evergrande is not delivered a single vehicle to customers, but it has lofty ambitions. It pledged annual production and sales of 1 million cars by 2025.

On Monday, U.S.-listed start-up Xpeng said it had produced 100,000 cars six years after the company launched.
