SHANGHAI -- Chinese electric vehicle startup Aiways is expanding its sales footprint in Europe, where more electric cars were sold last year than in China. Aiways has pursued this strategy since it was founded in 2017, as it looks to grow outside China's fiercely competitive domestic market.
The Shanghai-based pure-play EV manufacturer sealed deals with local partners in France and Belgium in January to distribute its flagship midsize sport utility vehicle, the U5.
