HONG KONG, Aug 23, 2021 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 于2021年7月12日發布的《与FOMM股份有限公司的资本・业务合作的通知》中,Quantum Solutions Co.,Ltd.(以下简称「集团」)已宣布与FOMM股份有限公司(以下简称「FOMM公司」)签订了相关的资本和业务合作(以下简称「本资本和业务合作 」)。此外,集团于今天宣布已决定与FOMM公司签订合资协议及成立合资公司。 1. 成立合资公司的目的在本资本和业务合作中,集团已预定向FOMM公司出资,但经过与FOMM公司的协商后,为了能在中国建立与电动汽车(以下简称「EV」)生产体制及销售体制的整备,集团与FOMM公司之间达成合意,于香港设立合资公司(商号:Quantum FOMM Limited,以下简称「新公司」),并决定以新公司为主轴,在中国进行EV生产体制及销售体制的构筑和整备。集团的全资子公司Asia TeleTech Investment Limited(以下简称「ATT」)将直接投资新公司,而FOMM公司将从FOMM公司本身进行投资。2. 本资本和业务合作的目的及战略等(1) 短期计划(12个月)将FOMM公司目前生产的既存「FOMM ONE车型」进行细微修改后,将尽快于中国建立大规模生产。届时,集团将充分利用中国高效的生产链,尽可能降低其生产成本。随着成本和价格大幅降低,预计现有市场的销售额将会大幅增加。透过此战略,集团预计FOMM公司和新公司的销售额会在相对较短的时间内(在12个月的目标期间)迅速增加。(2) 中期计划(12至24个月)为了推出更优质、利用互联网进行人车互动的新型EV,集团将首先于中国市场推出,主要针对中国人口众多的小城市及农村向镇。所谓「人与车的互动」是指如同人与人之间的互动,透过语言、动作(如手势)和视线等,同时以相互组合的方式来与车进行互动。车主可以根据状况和背景直观地选择理想的操作模式,而车辆可以确切的检测车主的声音、手势和视线的方向等,并通过分析各种组合,自动确定其含义。作为日本独立的小型EV品牌,FOMM公司将主要针对拥有9亿人口的中国小型都市及乡镇的市场为其主要目标。FOMM公司生产的小型EV(即为新型的EV)适合人口较多的中国农村小镇地区的都市。因为这些地区人口众多但道路狭窄,一般的汽车通行困难,不易使用,所以估计小型EV于这些地区将会有极大的需求。3. 合资公司的概要(1)名称:Quantum FOMM Limited(2)地址:香港湾仔告士打道108号光大中心7楼701-2室(3)代表者的姓名和职称:Director TUNG, CHUN FAI(4)事业内容:电动汽车的制造(5)资本金:港币30,000元(422千日元)(6)设立年月日:2021年8月5日(7)决算期:2月(8)纯资产:...
