If one were to describe it, the encounter between Huaihai International and this Southeast Asian partner was not a moment too soon to miss, nor was it a moment too late to regret. It's akin to "love at first sight," a fleeting moment of astonishment, unconcerned about the past, and indifferent to the future.
Origin: In recent years, governments across Southeast Asia have been intensifying their support for "oil-to-electric" vehicle models. This has posed a renewed challenge to the traditional fuel-powered car market, creating an unprecedented period of development opportunities for electric vehicles in Southeast Asia.
Electric vehicles are ubiquitous in Southeast Asia.
Mr. Pangilinan Manuel Espiritu is a renowned passenger logistics operator with nearly ten thousand registered drivers. He focuses on providing efficient and convenient "last-mile" passenger transportation solutions, ensuring passengers reach their destinations promptly.Our encounter with Mr. Manuel dates back to the first half of 2023. At that time, as Mr. Manuel was grappling with vehicle-related challenges for a local ride-hailing platform, Huaihai International, a globally recognized micro-mobility brand with 15 years of market expertise, engaged in multiple discussions with him. After thorough discussions, both parties agreed to a formal meeting on May 15, 2023, in Xuzhou, China.
Destined Meeting: On May 15th, as scheduled, Mr. Manuel visited the Huaihai International headquarters base in Xuzhou. At that time, both parties had not anticipated that it would be such a delightful, pragmatic, and fruitful meeting.
After touring the full range of products offered by Huaihai International, Mr. Manuel was captivated by HIGO, the intelligent electric passenger vehicle independently developed by Huaihai International. Subsequently, during his itinerary in Xuzhou, he arranged a tour focused on HIGO.
Mr. Manuel test-drove the HIGO intelligent electric passenger vehicle.
From on-site inspection to reaching a cooperative intent, both parties took only three days. On May 17th, Huaihai International and Southeast Asian partner Mr. Manuel had already finalized the customization and configuration details for the first batch of HIGO prototype vehicles. They successfully signed the project cooperation agreement.
Embarking on a New Journey: Southeast Asia is a focal region for the international "oil-to-electric" market and is also one of the core markets highly valued by Huaihai International.
On January 22, 2024, Huaihai International held the Huaihai New Energy 2024 Service Marketing Summit, with a dedicated session for Southeast Asia, in Xuzhou. The Southeast Asian partners were formally invited to attend. Upon receiving the invitation, Mr. Manuel promptly and positively responded, accepting the invitation to participate. The conference coincided with the milestone of bulk delivery of HIGO to the Southeast Asian ride-hailing platform. After the conference, on January 23, Mr. Manuel also attended the bulk delivery ceremony organized by Huaihai International for the Southeast Asian ride-hailing platform featuring HIGO.

It highlights the proactive and effective work style of the Huaihai team, reflecting their commitment to excellence and a determined approach to fulfilling their mission. It also signifies Huaihai's attitude toward each overseas partner, emphasizing the pursuit of excellence.
The collaboration between Huaihai International and its Southeast Asian partner on the HIGO model demonstrates Huaihai International's commitment to staying abreast of the global trend towards electrification. It marks a significant milestone in promoting Huaihai products internationally and domestically. This also indicates the increasing market recognition of HIGO in various countries and regions, positioning it as a standout product in the premium three-wheeled taxi category. Huaihai International is poised to bring more surprises to global partners and consumers in the near future!
