Zang Ziyuan, a director in Xiaomi's international marketing
department, also posted the news on his verified Weibo account.
The date marks the next major target for the company's
fledgling electric vehicle (EV) division, which Xiaomi formally announced
earlier this year.
Xiaomi shares jumped 5.4 percent to HKD 22.50, the biggest
daily percentage rise since May 12, extending gains for the third straight
session.
In March, Xiaomi said it would commit to investing $10
billion in a new electric car division
over the next ten years. The company completed the business registration of its
EV unit in late August.
The company has ramped up hiring for the unit, though it has
yet to reveal if it will produce the car independently or via partnership with
an existing carmaker. -Reuters
