"Ranger X" and "District Urban Investment Group" are called "Huzhou Wuxing urban investment and Development Group Co., Ltd." through enterprise inspection, it is found that the District Urban Investment Group is 100% controlled by the state-owned capital supervision and management service center of Wuxing District, Huzhou City. In other words, the project of Ranger automobile industry may be accepted by Wuxing district government of Huzhou City. According to the official website, Shanghai Ranger Automobile Co., Ltd. was founded in 2014. Its legal representative is Wei Jun, with a registered capital of 4.2 billion yuan, and its headquarter is in Shanghai.

According to the public information, after the completion of the super factory, Ranger will launch four different models of products based on the first generation of chassis platform. At least two mass production models will be released in 2020, including pure electric sedan run Ranger X. According to the minutes of the meeting, Wuxing district government put forward two requirements for the acquisition plan: first, operate in accordance with the laws and regulations, speed up land acquisition, asset transfer and other procedures; second, speed up the follow-up use of assets, increase investment attraction, and ensure the preservation and appreciation of state-owned assets. In addition, according to the minutes of the meeting, the meeting only agreed on the acquisition plan of the regional urban investment group in principle, and the final result has not been determined. Ranger Motor said that at present, the company's operation is normal, and the acquisition of relevant assets is only a link involved in the cooperation, which is still in the proposed evaluation, and only for Ranger motor Zhejiang Co., Ltd. In addition, Ranger automobile plans to have significant strategic cooperation with its peers, and many parties are in the process of detailed negotiations in the later stage, which is not available for publication at present. According to the enterprise investigation, the company owns Ranger automobile Shanxi Co., Ltd., Ranger automobile Zhejiang Co., Ltd. and two other investment enterprises.
