"The establishment of our own wholly-owned subsidiary in China is another major milestone for our company and provides us with a strong foothold in China. This strategic initiative provides us with a greater presence throughout the massive Chinese market, where we're working closely with our partner manufacturer, Zongshen Industrial Group, on the production of our flagship vehicle, the SOLO EV," stated ElectraMeccanica CEO, Paul Rivera. "Having an experienced automotive engineer and operational manager such as Dr. Liang provides us with additional capabilities to innovate and improve our vehicles with veteran manufacturing guidance from such a well-qualified automotive expert."

Dr. Liang joins ElectraMeccanica as Managing Director of China Production with more than a dozen years of experience, previously holding positions as Deputy General Manager and Sr. Product Manager at companies such as DGENX, SAIC-GM, Siemens Automotive Electronics and PATAC (Pan Asian Technical Automotive Center).

He also holds a bachelor's degree in mechanical and engineering management from an Overseas Study Program at Old Dominion (USA), and both Bachelor and master's degrees from Changchun University of Technology in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering and Engineering of Materials Processing, respectively. Larry brings extensive experience from his work with OEM's in operations, management planning and implementation, prototyping of all levels of hybrid systems, motor and electric propulsion control systems, human resources, operation and management of R&D and general project development.

EMV Automotive Technology, Inc., will help the Company navigate Chongqing's favorable policies and geographical advantages, while assisting ElectraMeccanica in increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of quality control, automobile R&D and other necessary activities.

Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved. Forward-looking information is subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected.
