Chery Commercial Vehicle Co. plans to produce electric delivery vans with Roshow Technologies Co., a private Chinese company that produces electric motors and wiring.

The two companies will establish a 100-million-yuan ($15 million) joint venture in the east China city of Wuhu, where Chery Commercial Vehicle is based, according to Roshow.

Chery Commercial Vehicle will hold a 65 percent stake in the partnership while Roshow will own the remaining 35 percent. The venture will focus on production and sales of electric delivery vehicles, Roshow notes.

Additional details about the partnership were not released.

Chery Commercial Vehicle was incorporated in 2001. Its main assets include Kerry minibuses, multipurpose vehicles and SUVs that it obtained from Chery Automobile Co. in 2010.

In recent years, the company has introduced several delivery vans powered by gasoline motors and electric batteries.

Chery Commercial Vehicle and Chery Automobile Co. are subsidiaries of Chery Holdings, a state-owned investment company controlled by the Wuhu city government.

Roshow, headquartered in the east China city of Zhuji, is listed on the Shenzhen stock exchange.
