According to a previous report released by Beijing Electric Vehicle Blue Valley, in 2024, the company recorded a net loss attributable to the parent company of 6.948 billion yuan; a non-GAAP net loss of 7.323 billion yuan.

Data shows that Beijing Electric Vehicle Blue Valley has been consistently losing money in recent years. From 2020 to 2024, the net losses of Beijing Electric Vehicle Blue Valley were 6.482 billion yuan, 5.244 billion yuan, 5.465 billion yuan, 5.4 billion yuan, and 7.323 billion yuan, respectively.

Public information indicates that Beijing Electric Vehicle Blue Valley New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (referred to as “Beijing Electric Vehicle Blue Valley”) is a listed company of the state-owned enterprise Beijing Automotive Group Co., Ltd. In 2018, Beijing Electric Vehicle Blue Valley became the first share of China’s new energy vehicles through a major asset restructuring.
