History[edit]
Skywell New Energy[edit]
In 2017, Skywell, owner of Nanjing Golden Dragon Bus, announced an
expansion into passenger vehicles. 'Skywell New Energy' was created with this
goal as a subsidiary.
In the same year, development work began on the first electric car at the
research and development center in Nanjing.
In 2020, Skywell's electric car development division officially introduced
the Skywell ET5 as its first vehicle, to be manufactured by Tianmei
Automobile.[1]
Skyworth Auto[edit]
In April 2021, the division was renamed Skyworth Auto to distinguish it from
parent Skywell.[2] Initially, the name change did not include the Skywell
ET5 itself, however in July 2021 the vehicle itself received both a new marque
and destination, as the Skyworth EV6.[3]
In 2021, German company Elaris announced it would be distributing the EV6
locally as the Elaris Beo.[4]
Skyworth EV6, badged as an Imperium ET5
Imperium Motors also announced it would be bringing the EV6 to the US and
Canada the same year, as the ET5 Imperium.[5]
