Gree Electric will enter the field of automobile air conditioning.
Recently, a report entitled "March into car air conditioners, sell mobile phones on a large scale … Dong Mingzhu sets four" small goals "for the New Year" has occupied the headlines of major media. On February 8th, Dong Mingzhu gave an exclusive response to the fact that Gree Electric will enter the car air conditioner in an interview with CCTV-2 "Economic Information Network". "Gree Electric started as an air conditioner. We were studying automobile air conditioners three or four years ago. It can be said that we have fully mastered the technology of this product." Dong Mingzhu said, "Gree Electric has mastered all the core technologies of air conditioning. For many years, the design of core components such as compressors and motors has been independently developed. It is very easy for Gree Electric to enter the field of automobile air conditioning." In 2016, the acquisition of Yinlong could not be ignored in the Gree Electric incident. Although the acquisition failed, Dong Mingzhu joined Liu Qiangdong, Wang Jianlin and others in their personal names to become shareholders in Yinlong. Dong Mingzhu’s confidence in new energy vehicles and determination to build cars can be seen. The first customer of Gree Auto Air Conditioning is Yinlong New Energy Vehicle. In July, 2016, Gree Electric officially announced that it has entered the era of diversification, and the production and promotion of automobile air conditioners are bound to add another new product to the diversified pattern of Gree Electric.
