We’re bringing groundbreaking new Chinese electric vehicle manufacturer brand Changan to Hull for the first time, with the launch of a dedicated dealership which will increase choice and value for customers as demand for EVs continues to accelerate.
The new Changan dealership, which opened on 9 March, operates from JCT600’s Priory Tec Park premises in Hessle. The site forms part of a wider redevelopment that will create a multi-brand electric vehicle hub for the Humber region.
The launch marks a further step in our expanding electric vehicle strategy as we continue to diversify our manufacturer partnerships and respond to evolving customer demand.
The Hull dealership will provide sales, servicing and aftersales support for Changan customers, with particular focus on the brand’s Deepal electric vehicle range, including the Changan Deepal S07 electric SUV and the recently launched Changan Deepal S05 compact SUV. Recruitment and training for both models is also taking place as the brand establishes its presence locally.
JCT600 executive chairman John Tordoff said:
Changan is one of China’s longest-established automotive manufacturers, with more than a century of industrial heritage and a rapidly growing international footprint. The company entered the UK market in September last year and focuses on electric and hybrid vehicles that combine advanced technology with European-influenced design and engineering.
Nic Thomas, managing director of Changan UK said:
Craig Saunders, brand director for JCT600 Approved, Kia and Changan, said:
Changan Hull is our second Changan location, joining our dealership in Doncaster. We’re thrilled to expand our presence and bring the Changan brand to even more customers across the region.
