Geely’s Connected Car Unit ECARX Bags USD200 Million in New Funding
(Yicai Global) Feb. 25 -- ECARX has raised more than USD200 million in its second round of fundraising, giving the smart car technology developing arm of Chinese vehicle giant Geely Automobile Holdings a value of over USD2 billion.
The Series A+ round was led by state-backed investment company China Reform Holdings Corp., the Hangzhou, eastern Zhejiang province-based company said today.
This is on top of CNY1.3 billion (USD201.5 million) that the company secured in Series A financing last October with search engine giant Baidu and US venture capital firm Susquehanna International Group as principal investors.
