Founded in January of 2003, The Silfox company produces automobiles, buses, electric bicycles, forklifts, rechargeable batteries, and trucks. The current model range of automobiles includes electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and petrol-engined vehicles. Their emphasis is on progressive design, marketing, and engineering, selling more to the tech-savvy crowd, with a more recent emphasis on New Energy models. The company is owned 30% by the Shromet Corporation, and is their Domestic Chinese partner, borrowing and lending technology, platforms, engines and even entire models where applicable.
Shromet’s ownership of a 30% stake in Silfox makes sense to me - it gives them a foothold in the lucrative Chinese market, and allows for a steady technological transfer between both companies.

Clone Wars: Kimura Pissed About Upcoming Chinese X-Land Knock-Off, Files Lawsuit
June 22nd, 2020
How can Kimura sue car company which copied a design that hasn’t yet been released? When it’s been patented for over 2 years.
Kimura X-Land patent released on April 12th, 2018
According to a report in Motornation, the automaker recently served China’s Jiangsu Silfox Automotive with legal papers over their new “Land Crossing New Energy” city car, claiming that the vehicle amounts to copyright infringement. Although the long-awaited second-generation Kimura X-Land is going to drop later this week, this didn’t stop the automaker from pressing legal action due to a longstanding patent.
One of Kimura’s lead designers, Peter Zauner, moved to Shromet in 2016 and has worked on vehicles such as the new Shromet Radiant. Shromet Corporation’s 30% ownership in Silfox has yet to have caused controversy.
Kimura was quick to press charges against Silfox, with legal documents making their way over to China just an hour after the vehicle was introduced. The Japanese company claims that they have no choice but to sue the Chinese corporation for their design as well as the model’s name.
If an American, European or Japanese automaker pulled this stunt, the reaction would have been very different, but China operates in a different realm. Automakers who have had their designs copies are reluctant to pursue legal action.
Still, there’s a repercussion for the copycat — Jiangsu Silfox won’t be able to export the Land Crossing while the case is before the courts.
The Kimura case could be a watershed moment in the automotive industry, though it depends if they win in their suit against Silfox. If the court decides in Kimura’s favor, expect to see more lawsuits leveled by automakers with illegitimate Chinese sons.
Clone Wars: Evgenis really not sure what is happening but reveals the scrapped, production-ready Evgenis Terranova anyway.
June 24th, 2020
At Evgenis, we’re confused. Although Kimura patented the X-Land back in 2018, the Terranova was patented around the same time but never brought to production and scrapped as Evgenis did not believe people would be interested in a small, rugged, premium 4x4 like the recent revelations from Jiangsu Silfox and Kimura. In order to avoid leagal conflict, Evgenis personally contacted both manufacturers to confirm that, although similarities are apparent, none of this was intentional in any way or form, and thankfully there is no risk of us cashing in on their high-risk, low reward efforts to aim at a sector that is long dead.
Having said this and to raise awareness that potentially Jiangsu Silfox did absolutely nothing wrong and that it may well be a mere coincidence, Evgenis has revealed a couple of official images of the scrapped but production-ready Evgenis Terranova 1.2T 4x4 to clarify that this… well it can just happen.
Evgenis will be taking no legal action in this case, but will be assisting in the investigation of what has happened here. Evgenis has long partnerships with both Shromet and Kimura and hopes that the dispute can be resolved amicably.
Pictured is the production-ready concept of the SX1, shown in Geneva.
BREMEN: Revealed in 2018 Geneva Motor Show, the SX1 Concept mini-SUV was originally going to conceived this year. However, for some reason this isn’t going to happen. On this day, Ursula AG spokesman confirmed this notion in a online press release of the upcoming new eV-R sports car.
The spokesman stated that the cancellation of the production SX1 is because of the uncertainty of current events and economy, as well as shifting focus to electric vehicles, but photos of the near-production model shows that the new SX1 is similar to several vehicles including the Jiangsu Slifox “Land Crossing New Energy” city crossover, which became a sensation on automobile circles this week due to strong similarities to the upcoming Kimura X-Land.
Nevertheless, it’s a relief that Ursula, Germany’s second largest automaker is avoiding a lawsuit and a financial loss by cancelling the SX1. However, with the cancellation the chances of getting a mini SUV from Ursula isn’t happening, for now.
The idea is burning, don’t hide the pleasure of release
The contour of the front face is staggered, layered, and full of tension, and the momentum is ready to be seen at a glance. The edge of the hood is carved like a blade, strong and thick, and it is very dynamic. Draw on the cheetah’s competitive shape, outline the movement with natural lines, and realize the integration of strength and movement.
The design of the front of the car not only has the flexibility of jumping, but also has the momentum of taking off, which shows the beauty of the impact of the momentum. The rear of the car is like a crying eagle on the top of the mountain, leaving a smart back, which is unforgettable.

UPDATE: 3rd party arbitration sides largely with Kimura over Silfox Land Crossing
Nanjing, China. Pressured into 3rd party Arbitration by their largest shareholder, Shromet, Automaker Silfox largely folds to Kimura’s demands, agreeing to redesign and rename their upcoming Land Crossing EV. The model will remain on sale in China exclusively, however, the facelift has been given expedited priority, due to arrive within 1 year. In addition, Kimura will receive a perpetual royalty on every Land Crossing model sold until the facelifted and renamed model arrives.
In addition, Silfox will pay an undisclosed amount to Kimura Motor Co, LTD. Which The Shromet Corporation will help shoulder.
This has undoubtedly put a strain on the Sino-American alliance. When asked for a statement on the matter, Juan Santos, head of PR for Shromet, had this to say: “While we are displeased with the dispute, we understand both parties stance on the issue. We wish to move forward as quickly as possible, putting this issue behind us. We will continue to work with Silfox to develop and refine our electric vehicle technology and onboard AI.”
UPDATE: Silfox has released a teaser of the updated Land Crossing, which they say “Will surely cause no issues.”
