(Yicai Global) Nov. 14 -- Zotye Automobile aims to launch a model in the US in 2020 as part of efforts to become the first Chinese automaker to sell domestic cars stateside.
The Anhui-based firm will set up a sale unit in Lake Forest, California, for its first model targeting the American market, which is a sports utility vehicle, Sina reported.
Zotye is not the first Chinese carmaker to harbor ambitions to be successful in the US. Many domestic automakers such as Chery Automobile have planned to introduce domestic cars in the past ten years, though all have failed so far.
