It will initially target key export markets in Europe, Mexico, Israel and Jordan.
In China, the EV-maker is selling through Skyworth Group outlets and distribution networks.
Its main passenger vehicle model is the battery powered ET5 SUV, while the company also sells a broad range of BEV commercial vehicles, including buses of all sizes, trucks and special purpose vehicles.
