HONG KONG, Apr 11, 2018 - (ACN Newswire) - FDG Electric Vehicles Limited ("FDG", stock code: 0729.HK) is pleased to announce that FDG has signed a purchasing agreement with Shanghai Yidong Vehicles Service Limited ("Shanghai Yidong"). Shanghai Yidong will acquire 4,500 units of premium commercial vehicles from FDG. Of these vehicles ordered, 1,000 units would be delivered to Shanghai Yidong by the end of 2018. FDG has gradually been recognized in the industry amongst top clients after years of well-planned preparation. This is a celebratory moment, a harvesting season for FDG as FDG is now reaping the fruits from our pioneering "Replacement Strategy".

Shanghai Yidong becomes one of the best mobile travel service operators in Eastern China with abundant resources made available by owners of the Shanghai International Automobile City. Since 2017, Shanghai Yidong has been collaborating intensively with FDG in the O2O travel segment. FDG impressed Shanghai Yidong with our advantages in technology, product and customer experience for our premium electric commercial vehicles. This three-year purchase agreement was endorsed by the upcoming requirements of Shanghai Yidong. Likewise, this is also grounded on the recognition for FDG's products and services from our previous cooperation. The e-GLORY electric vehicles Shanghai Yidong ordered will serve in the O2O travel segment for premium commercial use. FDG will offer tailor-made solutions for clients no matter what their needs are.

FDG's spokesperson described the recent continuous orders from clients as a "Tremendous Success" due to a solid, well-planned strategy. FDG was compared with the famous quote that "Rome was not built in a day." The recent successful consecutive orders and the appreciation clients offered were owed to FDG's careful adoption of the "Replacement Strategy". As market conditions constantly evolves, new energy vehicles only take up less than 5% of the total number of vehicles on the road. The fact that FDG has chosen to go down the "Replacement Strategy" and be different from our competitors' mere penetrative ways to gain market share shows that FDG continues to learn modestly from traditional OEMs but is also adaptable to change. FDG continues to optimise our products, improve our services and grow the market, such that ultimately, we could "Replace" the traditional internal-combustion-engine vehicles in various niche segments, thereby increasing FDG's overall NEV market share.

FDG's product strategy in "Simultaneously promoting passenger and commercial vehicles with commercial vehicles as a Priority"is a practical method in the current market environment. FDG continues to place emphasis on the premium electric commercial vehicles market while utlises our pioneering "Replacement Strategy" in niche segments. With increasingly demanding consumers for better quality travel arrangements, inevitably, consumers will ask for better products. For FDG, large consecutive orders such as this one is the best reward to our persisted efforts.
