Dongfeng

Development of the brand's platform is now in a substantial stage, with prototype testing results meeting expectations.

The outbreak of the new Covid pandemic in China is affecting the pace of new product launches by car companies.

Voyah is basically telling potential consumers that if you don't place an order now, you'll face higher prices next month.

Like the brand's first model, the Voyah FREE SUV, the Dream MPV will be available in an all-electric version as well as a version with extended-range technology.

The Voyah Dream can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in as fast as 5.9 seconds, making it the "world's fastest MPV," the company previously said.

The Dongfeng E70's solid-state battery pack has an energy density of just 157 Wh/kg, only slightly higher than the 150 Wh/kg of the BYD Han EV.

Voyah's model will debut in Oslo this June, and the company will start delivering vehicles to local customers in the fourth quarter.

The vehicles, the Dongfeng E70, will enter service in cab markets in Jiangxi, Guangzhou, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.

Voyah FREE's first production vehicle rolled off the production line last June 30, and its deliveries began last August.

The project, with a total investment of about RMB 10 billion ($1.57 billion), will have an initial annual capacity of 120,000 vehicles.
