Zotye USA signs dealers in 100 markets

Zotye USA, the American distributor for Chinese manufacturer Zotye Automobile, has chosen retailers in 100 markets as it plans to launch sales of its first vehicle in 2021.

Duke Hale, Ceo for the U.S. HAAH Automotive distributor, said the filling of the first hundred spots is ahead of schedule, as it plans to have agreements signed in 250 markets before the launch.

At the end, the brand expects to have about 325 locations, the distributor said.

Zotye said it has agreements in the top 10 states for sales and that it has closed the recruitment process in cities such as Atlanta, Austin, Houston and Las Vegas.

The first model to hit the U.S. will be a new version of the T600 compact crossover, the company has said. It will be followed by a second utility and car.
