On April 11, Changan Automobile released a statement acknowledging that it had recently become aware of online rumors claiming, "Over a hundred online ride-hailing vehicles have been plagued by frequent battery failures, prompting a company in Chongqing to sue Changan Automobile." Following thorough verification, Changan Automobile confirmed that it had indeed been served with a lawsuit concerning a single vehicle. The dispute revolves around vehicles used in online ride-hailing operations, involving multiple transaction entities and complex supply chain links. Changan Automobile urges the public to approach the matter with rationality, refrain from believing or disseminating unverified information, and expresses confidence that the judicial authorities will render a just verdict. The company vehemently condemns the alleged actions of the plaintiff, accusing it of distorting facts, generalizing from isolated incidents, and attempting to sway judicial impartiality through public opinion manipulation. Changan Automobile further asserts that should its brand and reputation suffer any harm as a result, it will take resolute measures to safeguard its rights.
