中国：宏光/ MINI EV电机：安装了Nidec的E桥！
ー日本電産、格安EVメーカー攻略の賭けー
上汽通用五菱汽車（ウーリン）：
「自動車メーカー経営陣が、無視できない中国のEVメーカー」が登場。
- 中国の上海汽車、
- 米ゼネラルモーターズ（GM）、
- 広西汽車集団（旧社名・柳州五菱汽車）
3社が出資する自動車メーカーである。
ウーリンの小型EV：
ウーリンの小型EVが、中国市場でバカ売れしている。
中国の農村部で、飛ぶように売れているのだという。
ガソリンスタンドが不足しがちな地方で、EVの利便性が見直されているのだ。
EV首位メーカーへ：
2020年12月、中国新エネルギー車（NEV）の卸売台数は21万台。
そのうち、ウーリンの卸売台数は4万1089台に上る。
知名度の高いBYD（2万8075台）やテスラ（2万3084台）を寄せ付けず。
EV首位メーカーへとのし上がったのだ。
『宏光 MINI EV』：
何といっても、“売り”は価格である。
小型EV『宏光 MINI EV』の最低価格帯は、2万8800元（約46万円）と破格の安さだ。
その割に馬力があるので、若者にウケている。
日本電産のE-Axles搭載：
ウーリンの急成長は、EVシフトがもたらす「車のコモディティ化」の象徴的事例だ。
ウーリンから、モーターの大量受注を獲得した企業がある。
それは、自動車業界の破壊者、日本電産である。
