Dragon Automobile Enters the Electric Vehicle Market with East Wind Group and Stellantis Alliance
In a strategic move, Dragon Automobile has unveiled its autonomous new energy vehicle brand "HEDMOS" as part of East Wind Group's plans to expand into the electric vehicle market. The first model, HEDMOS06, is expected to launch pre-sales in the second quarter of 2025 and hit the roads in May.
According to officials from the company, the brand name "HEDMOS" does not literally mean "defined boundary," but rather symbolizes "the way forward." Its English name is derived from "HEAD" and "MOST," signifying leadership and pioneering spirit. The brand's logo, inspired by a direction-finding compass, represents navigation.
Dragon Automobile has emphasized that the HEDMOS brand will focus on cars driven by users seeking a new energy vehicle experience. Future plans include deep integration of intelligent cabins and high-level driver assistance technology, such as L3 autonomous driving, solid-state batteries, and AI-powered interaction systems.
The HEDMOS06 is reported to be produced using DSMA East Wind's advanced electric powertrain module. With dimensions of 4670 x 1900 x 1617mm, and a wheelbase of 2775mm, this new car will feature an independent suspension system at the front and rear axles. Power output will reach up to 160 kW, with a 0-100 km/h sprint time of just 6.9 seconds.
Other notable features include:
- A 62.3 kWh battery pack
- Range: approximately 520 kilometers (CLTC cycle)
- Fast charging capabilities
HEDMOS06 is reportedly priced in the range of 10-15 million yuan (approximately $1.5-2.25 billion USD).
