Xiaomi EV manufacturing expansion secures Beijing land

Xiaomi has secured a 50-year lease for a 485,134m2 plot of land in Beijing, China, with plans to use it for smart connected car and components projects, reported Reuters. The acquisition, valued at 635m yuan ($88m), was announced by the Beijing municipal planning and natural resources commission. This strategic move positions Xiaomi as one of the few automakers in China expanding capacity in a market currently facing overcapacity challenges. The company's new YU7 sports utility vehicle is garnering more interest than the SU7 sedan, with customers facing up to a 51-week wait on Xiaomi's app. Xiaomi also launched the SU7 sedan last year, surpassing Tesla's Model 3 in monthly sales since December. The success of the SU7 is accelerating Xiaomi's entry into the competitive EV market. Xiaomi has increased its EV delivery target for the year to 350,000 vehicles, up from the previous goal of 300,000. The company initially planned to produce 300,000 vehicles annually at its EV factory, which will be constructed in two phases. Orders for the YU7 will be taken starting at the end of June, with the launch previously scheduled for July. In March, Xiaomi entered into a placement and subscription agreement to raise $5.5bn, involving the sale and issuance of 800 million shares. This upsized deal from the initially planned 750 million shares is aimed at accelerating Xiaomi's EV manufacturing initiatives. The shares, priced at 53.25 yuan ($7.34) each, represent about 3.2% of Xiaomi's existing issued share capital and approximately 1.2% of the voting rights as of the announcement date.

Paris Air Show: Airbus gets nearly $21 billion in orders

Airbus executive vice president for sales of the commercial aircraft business, Benoit de Saint-Exupery (L), the Airbus chief executive officer of the commercial aircraft business Christian Scherer (C) and the chief executive officer of LOT Polish Airlines, Michal Fijol show agreement documents for purchasing Airbus A220-100 and A220-300 passenger jets at the 55th edition of the International Paris Air Show on Monday. Photo by Christophe Petit Tesson/ EPA-EFE June 19 (UPI) -- During the Paris Air Show, Airbus on Thursday reported robust orders of nearly $21 billion, while Boeing was in the background as it struggles with a host of issues. The European aircraft manufacturer reported 142 firm orders and an additional 102 jets under provisional agreements. Airbus customers include Saudi lessor AviLease and LOT Polish Airlines, with 40 orders each. All Nippon Airways ordered 27 jets and Riyadh Air ordered 25 A350-1000 wide bodies. Starlux in Taiwan ordered 10 Airbus airliners and EgyptAir expanded an order from 10 to 16 jets. Boeing kept a low profile at the Paris Air Show, but recently got a Qatar Airways 210 airliner order during an official U.S. government diplomatic visit in the Middle East. Despite Airbus orders surging at the air show, both aircraft manufacturers are experiencing backlogged orders as they continue to face supply issues. Air Lease Corp CEO John Plueger told CNBC, "Both Airbus and Boeing are all sold out to 2031 and '32 anyway. So how many follow-on orders into the '33, '34, '35 time frame are you really going to see? ... But overall, the demand environment remains very robust." An Airbus order and delivery summary as of May 2025 shows total orders at 24,836. Boeing did not do aircraft fly-bys or major promotions at the Paris show. CEO Kelly Ortberg was to attend, but that plan was disrupted by the Air India Boeing Dreamliner crash, which claimed at least 280 lives, including 39 people on the ground.
