History
In 2021, Chinese entrepreneur Zhang Jin, founder of vacuum cleaner company Roborock, with the support of Xiaomi — invested the proceeds into Shanghai startup ROX Motor. The goal was to introduce the production of electrified, high-tech cars made of aluminum.[1] During the first year, 1,800 people were hired. At the same time, contracts for technological cooperation were signed with companies such as Bosch, CATL, Continental AG and Valeo.[2] The first prototype tests began in November 2022, and in June 2023, the first official information about the technical characteristics of the car was provided by Rox Motor, in whose development the company BAW took part.[3]
The first ROX Motor model was officially unveiled in August 2023 at the Beijing Auto Show, when it was announced that it would be produced by Polestones Automobile, a division of ROX Motor.[4] Serial production of the vehicle began in late October 2023 under a technology cooperation agreement with BAW, and deliveries began in November 2023[5][6]
