SYNOPSIS:

Interview with Daxue Wang, CFO of Lotus Technology Inc, by Emily Tan, of CNBC International, discussed the financial integration of Lotus U.K. following its acquisition on August 21 and addressed how the company navigates ongoing geopolitical tensions. Wang explained that bringing Lotus U.K. under Lotus Tech unifies the brand’s 78-year British racing heritage with Geely’s technology and Chinese manufacturing, streamling operations, supply chains, and decision-making to advance their Focus 2030 strategy; full financial consolidation of this acquisition will be reflected in early 2027 when the company releases its FY2026 annual report. When asked about geopolitical impacts, trade surpluses, and international tariffs on Chinese-built EVs, Wang noted that while trade friction creates market challenges, Lotus leverages its global footprint, flexible manufacturing setup, and diversified portfolio across different powertrain types and production locations to mitigate concentration risks, navigate tariff structures competitively, and maintain a resilient operational structure.

    Really like Daxue Wang's response to the trade question raised about Scott Bessent's address. Lotus is flexible in manufacturing and supply chain, leverages its global footprint, and offers a diversified portfolio of vehicles. Brilliant!
