BEIJING —
Inc has registered a financial
company in China, a local business registration filing shows, in the latest sign the U.S.
maker is attempting to speed up its push into China.
The California-based carmaker, led by billionaire Chief Executive
, has opened a wholly-owned financial leasing unit in Shanghai’s free trade zone with registered capital of $30 million, according to China’s National
Information Publicity System.
Its scope includes leasing and consultancy, the document said, which listed the firm’s legal representative as Zhu Xiaotong, Tesla’s boss in China.
Tesla declined to comment.
The company has opened a tender process to build
and at least one contractor has started buying materials,
Reuters
reported earlier this month.
The $2 billion factory, Tesla’s first in China, marks a major bet by the U.S.
(
) maker as it looks to bolster its presence in the world’s biggest auto market where it faces rising competition from a swathe of domestic EV makers and its earnings have been hit by increased tariffs on U.S. imports.
