How it started
History
In 2009, the BAIC Group established a subsidiary, Beijing Electric Vehicle Co., Ltd. (BJEV). It is the first independently operated electric vehicle manufacture of China, and the enterprise in China to obtain the qualification for the production of new energy vehicles.
Between 2010 and 2014, BJEV is a subsidiary of BAIC Motor, but it was put back under direct control of BAIC Group again prior to BAIC Motor's listing. The company is renamed to Beijing New Energy Automobile Co Ltd (BAIC BJEV).
In 2018, the BAIC BJEV is set to go public through a backdoor listing on the A-share market in China. The company was renamed to "BAIC BluePark New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (BAIC BluePark)". BAIC BJEV was reconstructed and became a subsidiary of BAIC BluePark.
In December 2019 Beijing BluePark expands an existing cooperation with global automotive supplier Magna International (based in Canada) to a full fletched joint venture, using BAIC Zhenjiang as the donor company. It was renamed as BAIC BluePark Magna Automobile and would be responsible for manufacturing premium electric vehicles under the Arcfox brand.
In September 2021, BAIC BluePark and Huawei made a joint statement, that two companies would collaborate on building intelligent electric vehicle under Arcfox brand.
