"It is the first joint venture of its kind between China and Cuba, Wei Yunpu, director of the Chinese company, told Xinhua." (Lesson - do business with each other, make green, peaceful positive alliances - make low-cost, 2/4-wheeled, transformative, liberating, empowering EVs, ebikes, e-trikes etc together - NOT endless bloody War and Hatred). Report(today) - China Daily: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202301/16/WS63c506cda31057c47eba9e33.html ) "To increase the presence of electric modes of personal transportation in the region, China's Tianjin Dongxing Industrial and Commercial Group, along with Cuban state-owned company Minerva, created Caribbean Electric Vehicles (VEDCA), a joint venture that has quickly won the island's market. Some 15 km west of Havana, VEDCA has built an electric car and scooter factory covering an area of 9,000 square meters, and has employed around 60 workers. Official statistics showed that since March 2019, VEDCA has produced 2,500 electric scooters, 1,500 electric tricycles and other products with sales reaching $6 million." "Thousands of Cubans across the country have started to use Chinese electric cars and scooters amid fuel shortages and tightened US economic sanctions, which have dealt a heavy blow to the island's transportation system." "Amelia Rosales, 26, owns a Chinese electric scooter and uses it for work and in leisure time. "I use this scooter to work as a delivery girl for a fast-food restaurant in downtown Havana," she said. "In addition, I take my daughter to school in the morning." |
