\"\"HELSINKI \u2013 Finnish manufacturer of heavy duty electric drivetrains Visedo has signed a letter of intent to help the company access China\u2019s booming electric vehicles market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visedo CEO Kimmo Rauma signed an understanding with venture capital and private equity fund management company, Beijing Capital Investment, to continue ongoing discussions for an investment into and cooperation with Visedo to manufacture and sell electric drivetrains in China. The potential resulting investment would be made from a new SinordCapital fund to be established.<\/span><\/p>\n

The letter of intent was signed during the official visit of President of the People\u2019s Republic of China Xi Jinping to Finland, during the leader\u2019s meeting with President of Finland Sauli Niinist\u00f6.<\/span><\/p>\n

China is pursuing clean technology innovation as part of the nation\u2019s 13th Five-Year Plan and the related National Strategic Emerging Industries Development Plan, announced by President Xi last year. Within that time, China is expected to be the world\u2019s single largest electric vehicle market.<\/span><\/p>\n

The state-owned Beijing Capital Investment company selected Visedo as one of its candidate portfolio companies to enter discussions for the Finnish company\u2019s advanced technologies, innovation capabilities and expertise in developing hybrid and electric drivetrain solutions for the commercial and passenger vehicle sectors.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beijing Capital Investment Company Vice President Lu Wenyi said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith its high-speed growth, China is the world\u2019s largest EV market. As one of the leading Chinese venture capital players, we are actively engaged in investment into cleantech and renewable energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFinland, with its great innovation and research capability, represents a major overseas market for cross- border investment. Based on the great potential opportunity for Nordic high-tech to enter the Chinese market, we started SinordCapital Fund, a collaboration with Sinord Capital, for the purpose of introducing Nordic technologies and know-how to China via equity investment.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are glad to explore the collaboration with Visedo based on its technologies, innovation capabilities, expertise and most importantly, its ambition to play an active role in the Chinese market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Visedo CEO Kimmo Rauma said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe revolution to electrify the world\u2019s transport is already underway and China is doing more than most to make this a reality. The Visedo team understands that as the world\u2019s largest market for electric vehicles, China is crucial for Visedo\u2019spush to ensure hybrid and electric drivetrains are the heart of more commercial and heavy duty transport solutions worldwide.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cChina has been a key market for Visedo, and we\u2019ve been pursuing business opportunities there since 2012. For Visedo to have a local venture capital investor like BCI represents not only the necessary capital contribution for growth and expansion but also having a door-opener to the Chinese market, through its business networks with potential Chinese clients, OEM factories and policy makers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
