Changan and Geely are "torn". Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd. issued a lawyer's letter to Zhejiang Geely Automobile Co., Ltd. and Geely Automobile Group Co., Ltd., claiming that the prototype of Galaxy Light released by Geely Automobile on February 23, 2023 is similar to many concept cars and production cars owned by Changan Automobile, which constitutes plagiarism of the intellectual property rights related to the models released by Changan Automobile, and requires Geely Automobile to stop relevant behaviors and reserve the right to use legal means. At the same time, Changan Automobile also circled the similarities of some models in the comparison chart.
In this regard, Geely responded that the contents of the lawyer's letter were seriously inaccurate, and the accusations against our company were unfounded, misleading the public and causing serious damage to our brand and goodwill. He also said that Geely Galaxy Light is an original design of Geely, and there is no plagiarism or infringement of other people's intellectual property rights. Based on the vast structure of the Geely Sea, Geely Galaxy Light develops forward, inherits Geely's unique "ripple aesthetics" in design, and has an independent and complete design concept system.
Combining the information in the picture, we can see that the prototype of Geely Galaxy Light is very similar to UNI-V, Deep Blue SL03, front/rear surround and headlights under Changan brand. It is worth noting that Zheng Chen, the designer of Geely Galaxy Light concept car, has been working in Changan Automobile since 2002 and has held a series of important positions. Under his leadership, Changan successively launched classic models such as CS75 PLUS and UNI-T. From the comparison, the prototype of Geely Galaxy Light is indeed similar to Changan UNI-V and the first released deep blue SL03. A storm caused by "hitting the face" immediately brushed the "friend circle" of the automobile industry.

BYD will launch a new brand.
After the launch of Looking Up Brand in June of this year in 5438+ 10, BYD kept moving. Recently, it was reported that BYD will launch a brand-new brand code-named "F brand" during the year. According to a circulated meeting minutes, "F brand is a personalized street brand mix, and it is an off-road vehicle like the Great Wall Tank 300". In this regard, BYD responded: "The' F brand' is the internal code name of BYD's brand new brand, and it is expected to officially meet with you this year. However, the standard' Tank 300' spread on the Internet is false information, and the relevant information is subject to subsequent release. "
At present, BYD has re-planned the Tengshi brand, which was previously a joint venture with Mercedes-Benz, and later launched the luxury new energy vehicle market. Combining the existing product sequences of Dynasty and Ocean, BYD's products have covered most markets. I wonder which market segments this "professional and personalized brand new" will target?
