Sichuan Yema Automobile Co., Ltd. is a Chinese automobile manufacturer which has built buses and automobiles under the Yema brand since 2002.[1] The company was founded in the 1980s.[2] In January 2019, Yema Auto was acquired by Levdeo, a Chinese low-speed electric vehicle company that produces Neighborhood Electric Vehicles.[3]

Yema Auto has three manufacturing bases located separately in Chengdu and Mianyang: the Chengdu HQ, Chengdu New Energy Branch and Mianyang Branch. The Chengdu HQ includes Chengdu Passenger Vehicle Co. and Chengdu Bus Co., where coaches, commuter buses, city buses, passenger vehicles (SUVs and MPVs) and new energy vehicles are made.

The Mianyang Branch is located in Mianyang Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone, covering an area of around 1.3 million square meters, with total investment of over 3 billion RMB. It has established a first-rate-equipped manufacturing base with four complete vehicle-production processes of multi-vehicle & full automation production lines for both traditional and new energy vehicles in the year of 2014.

As of January 2019, Levdeo acquired Yema Auto and revealed plans to strategically reorganized it, launching electric vehicles built on existing Yemo gasoline vehicle platforms under the newly launched Letin brand.[3]
