HONG KONG, Aug 23, 2021 - (ACN Newswire) - According to the announcement dated 12 July 2021 in respect of "Notice of Capital and Business Alliance with FOMM Limited", Quantum Solutions (hereinafter referred to as the "Company") has agreed to form a capital and business alliance (hereinafter referred to as the "Capital and Business Alliance") with FOMM Limited (hereinafter referred to as "FOMM") and a joint venture agreement was signed today.
1. Purpose of setting up the joint venture
Pursuant to the Capital and Business Alliance, the Group has agreed to invest in FOMM. After discussion, the two parties agreed to set up a joint venture in Hong Kong, namely Quantum FOMM Limited (hereinafter referred to as the "New Company"), to manufacture and distribute electric vehicles in China, in other words to serve the two companies as a vehicle to tap the China market. Asia TeleTech Investment Limited (hereinafter referred to as "ATT"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, will contribute capital direct to the New Company whereas FOMM will contribute capital as well.
2. Purpose and strategy of the Capital and Business Alliance
(1) Short term plan (12 months)
The New Company plans to start mass production in China as soon as possible after making minor adjustments to the FOMM's existing vehicle model - "FOMM ONE". The two parties expect production costs to be significantly reduced by leveraging the highly efficient supply chain in China.
With production cost lowered, selling price will follow, and correspondingly significant increase in sales volume is projected. Therefore, FOMM and the New Company can expect to see sales volume climb markedly within a short period of time (within 12 months).
(2) Medium-term plan (12-24 months)
To launch a new type of EV that allows people-vehicle interaction via the Internet, it will first be launched in the China market, mainly in small cities and rural areas with large populations in the country.
As an independent Japanese mini-electric vehicle brand, FOMM is going to target small towns and rural areas of China with an aggregate population of approximately 900 million. The major product of FOMM is mini electric vehicle, which is suitable for use in small towns and rural areas of China, where the population is large while the roads are narrow for conventional vehicles to navigate. Therefore, mini electric vehicles should have huge demand in those towns and areas.
