Yudo Auto is a Chinese electric vehicle marque owned by Juneyao Group introduced in 2022.

History

In February 2017, Fujian Motors Group introduced the Yudo Auto marque with the π1, which is based on the Haval H1, and the π3 electric subcompact crossovers.^[1] The Chinese name is Yundu, and the brand slogan is “creating for change”.^[2]

In April 2017 at Auto Shanghai 2017, the Yudo π1 and π3 were officially revealed to the public and the X-π concept SUV was revealed.^[3]

In April 2018 at Auto China 2018 in Beijing, the Yudo π7 compact SUV concept was revealed.^[4]

In 2020, Yudo Auto introduced the V01L electric cargo van.^[5] At the beginning of 2022, Yudo stopped producing the newer and larger π3, and in February it was forced to suspend production of the π1 due to bankruptcy.^[6]

In the summer of 2022, Yudo was saved from disappearance from the market by the Chinese airline Juneyao Group.^[7] He purchased the company from the previous owner, Fujian Motors Group, and resumed production of the Yudo π1 in July this year^[8] as the company's only model for the next 2 years. In February 2023, the company presented the first new model in 4 years in the form of Yuntu, which is in fact a deeply modernized π1.^[9] This remained on sale in parallel as a cheaper model for another half a year, until in the fall of 2023 Yudo again became a company based on one product.
