HONG KONG (PRWEB) February 2, 2021
Summer Atlantic Capital Ltd. was engaged by Upincar to seek and evaluate new strategic
expansion opportunities abroad.
Summer Atlantic Capital is proud to announce our engagement with Upincar as its newest client. Upincar is at the forefront of transforming China’s Electric Vehicle (“EV”) and automotive industry by consolidating different brands and services into a single venue. Upincar has developed its brand by expanding its physical presence through franchising and flagship stores and strives to be the world's largest EV dealership. Currently, they have over 800 locations throughout China, Southeast Asia, and South America. Upincar has successfully revolutionized automobiles’ sales through their unique business model, allowing customers the ability to create and customize their EVs on the spot. The customer’s choices regarding the
vehicle’s body, color, upgrades, etc., are shown utilizing a sizable screen, allowing the customer to see a life-sized version of the EV they have created in-store. The vehicle that the customer has designed is then assembled at Upincars facility and delivered shortly after. Upincar also offers a range of related services, including access to their charging and quick in-and-out battery exchange and evaluation stations strategically located throughout China, financing programs, extended warranty, insurance coverage, and much more. Upincar has transformed the car-buying experience by incorporating the latest technological advances and has streamlined operations in its domestic market while quickly gaining market share. This innovative business model can be replicated in other countries where car dealerships do not have these capabilities to greatly reduce
personnel and inventory costs. Upincar is now looking for strategic opportunities abroad and has engaged Summer Atlantic Capital to explore expansion alternatives and capital market opportunities.
Sebright Chen, Chairman & CEO of Summer Atlantic Capital, said the following about this new alliance:
“We are very impressed with Upincar’s achievements and believe the business model has great potential to be replicated in other countries. A company with Upincar’s demonstrated success has the potential to access the US capital markets, where valuations for online car dealerships are at a premium. Upincar stands out from its
competitors by assembling cars at their own facilities, allowing for a customizable car to be delivered very quickly compared to the industry average while simultaneously reducing expenses for car dealerships and franchise owners. Upincar also improves the car buying experience by eliminating sales pressure and providing fixed car prices, along with a one-stop-shop for financing, insurance, warranty, and more. The business model
also greatly reduces operating costs and space requirements typically associated with running this type of business, making the car buying experience a lot more efficient for all stakeholders.”
