Forthing

And yeah, all in all, there was quite a GAC was there, of course, one of the newer brands or recent brands to enter our market.

Forthing was also around.

Polestar, of course.

Tesla was not there.

Some new ones on the market, the iCar, spelled I-C-A-U-R, but that's a cherry-backed brand, a new one.

And the Thorthing, F-O-R-T-H-I-N-G. It's a new MPV, a multi-purpose vehicle, and that's from the, now I've got to get this right, the Dong Fung Company, which they used to use the name Fung Fing, but now they changed it to a company of Dong Fung, to be clearer, of course.

in Liuzhou, and their head office is in Wuhan, which I think is perhaps not something that you want to promote.

But then again, I'm not going to make anything of it because of Liuzhou, where they're built, is the 75th Group Army of the People's Liberation Army of China.

Higher range figures attached to other overseas EQS versions should stay attached to those overseas cars.

Forthing has outlined plans for at least three more Australian models with an electrified people mover next on the agenda.

The brand is talking about fully electric and plug-in hybrid choices with an emphasis on attainable pricing.

We don't yet have the local prices to judge that claim though.

And as per this, uh, press release, so this is public information, uh, we've got a whole bunch of, uh, brands launching cars.

We've got Cadillac there, got Chery, Emotor, Jaecoo, Forthing, uh, Geely, GWM, Hyundai, Aico, which is, uh, Chery, uh, IM, La Paz, also Chery, um, Nika, MG, and Genesis as well.

So, uh, lots of cars.

Gonna be 500 EV test drives as well apparently.

And lots of brands.

We've got BYD, Cadillac, Chery, Forezen, Forthing, Genesis, Geely, GAC, GWM, Hyundai, I-COR.

We've got news about I-COR or I-CAR very shortly.

IM, Lepas, MG, MotoJuku, Polestar, Subaru, Wei Ji, and Zeekr, amongst many others.

I- I've long ago given up any ability to keep track of them.

This one's, what is it? Forthing and Leapass.

Leapass, yeah.

So Leapass is, is, uh, part of Chery.

But no, Chery's completely separate to, to Geely.

But, um, but yeah, and Geely has a whole bunch of brands [chuckles] that you can also rattle off.

But yeah, so Leapass is, uh, is launching in, in a couple of weeks, as is Forthing.

So Forthing is part of Dongfeng, which is again, one of the big ones over in China, and, uh, it's being imported here by Ateco, um, which is one of the big importers.
