Hycan Automobile Technology (Chinese: 合创汽车科技有限公司) is a Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer headquartered in Guangzhou, China.

History

[edit]
Hycan's concept vehicles: Concept-S and Concept-M

On 10 April 2018, GAC Group, GAC New Energy Technology (now GAC Aion) and Nio Inc. established a joint venture called GAC-Nio New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., and almost a year later, on 1 April 2019, GAC and Nio announced the upcoming revealing of a new brand Hycan and electric SUV under this joint venture.[3]

In early 2021, Guangdong Pearl River Investment Management Group has become GAC-Nio's largest shareholder, while Nio's stake in Hycan was diluted to 4.5%.[4][5] Later that year, GAC-Nio changed its name to Hycan.[6] In 2022, Nio withdrew as a shareholder of Hycan.[7]

On 20 May 2019, Hycan revealed the 007 concept, an Aion LX (produced by GAC New Energy) with a redesigned front and rear end, interior, and wheel design.[8] The production model was yet to be revealed and multiple teasers were shown before the upcoming revealing.[9]

On 27 December 2019, the largely unchanged production Hycan 007 was revealed and went on pre-sale before being officially listed for sale in the Chinese market in April 2020 at a starting price of 262,000 Chinese yuan (US$37,343).[10][11]

The 007 is available in three trim levels, Base, Plus, and Top. The Base trim level has a 73 kWh (260 MJ) battery pack with a NEDC range of 523 km (325 mi) and a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 8.2 seconds, while the higher-level Plus and Top trims both have a 93 kWh (330 MJ) battery with a NEDC range of up to 643 km (400 mi) and a 0–100 km/h acceleration time of 7.9 seconds.[12]
