Company overview
Zotye Auto is a Chinese automobile manufacturer established in 2005. It was initially created as part of the Zotye Holding Group, specializing in automotive parts exports before transitioning to complete car production. The company gained recognition for producing vehicles with designs resembling existing models, particularly those from Daihatsu and Suzuki. In 2006, Zotye achieved a revenue of 2.88 billion RMB and ranked 352nd on the Fortune China Top 500 Companies list.
