Avatr Technology President Yong Jun Responds to "600 Million Yuan Junkyard"

On November 10, Yong Jun, President of Avatr Technology, posted on Weibo responding to media attention regarding the "junkyard worth 600 million yuan." He stated that these test vehicles cannot be sold to users. Yong Jun explained that every vehicle must undergo testing items including full-vehicle durability, high temperature, low temperature, enhanced corrosion, complex road surface impact, wading, collision safety, and frameless door open-close durability before being delivered to users. Some vehicles must endure "two winters and two summers," some must undergo repeated validation in extreme cold and extreme heat environments, some must run hundreds of thousands of kilometers, some must undergo destructive testing, and some are scrapped directly after testing is completed. On October 29, the Avatr 07LMax pure electric version launched at a limited-time price of 215,900 yuan. On November 5, Yong Jun responded to related questions for the first time. On the same day, Avatr officially released a statement saying that a large number of abnormal accounts had appeared on multiple online platforms posting highly identical false content, and that evidence collection had been completed and the right to pursue legal liability reserved. On November 9, Avatr conducted a "world's first teardown" livestream, during which Yong Jun promised that CATL batteries would be 100% adopted with absolutely no mixing, and that the Huawei 896-line dual-path lidar would not be downgraded. Public information shows that Yong Jun took over as President of Avatr Technology in late September 2026. He previously served as the company's head of R&D and led the development and mass production of models including the Avatr 11 and Avatr 12.
