IA Electric Vehicles, the UK’s first multi-brand electric vehicle company, will introduce all-new automotive brands and accelerate its dealer network growth in 2024. In addition to DFSK, (the Chinese-owned international car maker with two brands: DFSK and SERES and is listed in China A-Share stock market and ranks as China Top 500 Enterprise). IA has been appointed as the authorised UK distributor for leading EV OEMs Seres and Skywell with sales due to commence in Q2 2024.

With a range of next-generation electric vehicles, support packages and flexible finance solutions, IA is ideally-positioned to assist the decarbonisation of the automotive sector and help achieve the UK’s net zero targets.

Officially introduced to the UK at the London EV Show in December, Seres is a California-based manufacturer and a subsidiary of the Seres Group - a listed company with more than 10,000 employees globally.

The Seres 3 electric SUV was the first of this new line of vehicles to be unveiled at the London EV Show.

Set to be launched in the UKlater this year, Skywell is one of the world’s fastest-growing automotive brands. Going on sale in the summer, the Skywell ET5 is a premium and sophisticated mid-size SUV with a practical range of 304 miles (WLTP).

Gary White, General Manager at Cirencester-based IA Electric Vehicles, said: “This is a very exciting time for IA Electric Vehicles as we welcome Seres and Skywell into the family, alongside DFSK. Both brands are highly respected around the world and their technology, comfort and refinement are a perfect match for the UK marketplace”.
