Since the launch of Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform in Chengdu in October 2020,in Changsha in December 2020,in Neijiang in January 2021,in Guangzhou at the end of March 2021,and in Nanchong and Panzhihua in June 2021,over 12.1 million rides have been completed using the platform,including approximately 1.7 million rides completed during July 2021.
