(NASDAQ:ADOM), a provider of advanced zero-emission and hybrid vehicle drivetrain solutions, and purpose built electric vehicles announced that ADOMANI CEO, Jim Reynolds and Vice President Kevin Kanning recently met in San Francisco with an official economic development delegation from Nantong, China to discuss and reaffirm ADOMANI’s potential market expansion in China.

The delegation was led by Mr. Jinhai Cao, the Head of Nantong Gangzha District, Mr. Jian Tao, the Director of Qingzhao Subdivision of Gangzha District and Mr. Feng Jin, the Head of Business Development Bureaus of North City, the Sub-division of Gangzha District, which is a technology and industrial production focused business region. 

The meeting was primarily focused on ADOMANI setting-up a drivetrain development and manufacturing facility in Nantong, the economic benefits afforded by such actions, the Chinese original equipment (vehicle) manufactures that have expressed an interest in zero-emission drivetrain systems for their local markets and the facility and labor force required to build electric drivetrains in China.  This meeting follows several others that have already taken place by ADOMANI China’s General Manager, Dr. John Wang, to implement ADOMANI’s search for strategic, domestic entry points into what is widely accepted as the largest potential market for zero-emission electric vehicles in the world.

The ADOMANI and Nantong Delegation meeting was held just weeks after the early June meeting that took place in China between President Xi Jinping and California Governor Jerry Brown where Governor Brown signed an agreement to work with China to lower greenhouse gas emissions.  The nonbinding agreement signed by Governor Brown with China is meant to foster cooperation on renewable energy technology, including zero-emissions vehicles and lower greenhouse gas emissions.  Governor Brown signed similar agreements with leaders from Sichuan and Jiangsu (where Nantong is located) provinces following a California-Jiangsu Economic Cooperation Committee meeting in Sacramento California with the Vice Governor of Jiangsu, Mr. Zhenning Chen.
