Aston Martin has just signed a partnership with China’s LeEco to develop a range of next-generation electric vehicles starting with the RapidE concept, which is set to enter production by 2018.
In fact, it is possible that those upcoming EVs could be sold as Aston Martin, LeEco or even Faraday Future products.
Last month, LeEco and Aston Martin revealed the first results of their partnership: an Aston Martin Rapide S incorporating the latest Letv Internet of the Vehicle (IOV) system.
According to the latest press release, the second area of the partnership — developing low-emission vehicle technologies — has been accelerated as LeEco and Aston Martin have developed their respective plans for launching a range of new EVs during the second half of the decade.
