Xpeng Motors CEO confirms the company has introduced additional protocols with suppliers to ensure timely payments within 60 days in response to regulatory demands.
The Chinese electric vehicle maker has informed some suppliers about signing supplementary agreements to shorten payment cycles, following new regulations introduced in March.
Xpeng has started adjusting and implementing its payment terms after internal discussions, as mentioned by CEO He Xiaopeng in a post on Weibo.
Chinese regulators mandated established companies to settle supplier payments within 60 days starting from June 1, amid efforts to curb a price war affecting the supply chain in the automotive sector.
