Lantu Automotive Changes Shareholding Structure and Sees Sales Growth

Recently, Lantu Automotive Technology Co., Ltd. underwent changes in its business registration information. According to the Tianyancha App, original shareholders Ganfeng Lithium and Dongfeng Jiaoyin Yuanjing Automotive Industry Equity Investment Fund (Wuhan) have exited, with Dongfeng Asset Management Co., Ltd. joining as an investor. The company's registered capital increased from approximately 3.09 billion yuan to about 3.67 billion yuan. Additionally, there were adjustments in some senior management personnel. Lantu Automotive, founded in June 2021 with legal representative You Zheng, focuses on the research and development of new energy vehicles, investments, and vehicle sales. The current shareholding structure shows that Dongfeng Motor Corporation and Wuhan Woya Enterprise Management Consulting Partnership (Limited Partnership) remain key shareholders. This change in business registration further strengthens Dongfeng Group's control over the company. In terms of market performance, Lantu Automotive achieved cumulative sales of 56,128 vehicles from January to June 2025, marking an 85% increase compared to the same period last year. In June alone, sales exceeded 10,000 units, reaching 10,053 vehicles, which is an 83% year-on-year increase. This data reflects the company's sustained growth in the competitive new energy vehicle market. Industry analysis indicates that the improvement of Lantu's product matrix and strategic channel expansion may support its sales in the mid-to-high-end new energy market above 200,000 yuan. Notably, the domestic new energy vehicle market penetration rate has exceeded 50% in 2025, intensifying competition among leading brands. Lantu's current models include the mid-to-large SUV Lantu FREE, the MPV Dreamer, and the sedan Zhaiguang series, covering multiple segments. The recently launched battery swapping technology and smart upgrades may be key factors in enhancing its product competitiveness. The timing of these business changes alongside sales growth reflects ongoing investment from shareholders and an increasing market recognition of the Lantu brand. As Dongfeng Group continues to integrate resources, future actions from Lantu Automotive in technology development and market expansion are worth watching.
