Haima: Innovation from Hainan Haima Automobile traces its roots back to a joint venture with Mazda in the early 1990s, a heritage reflected in its name (a portmanteau of “Hainan” and “Mazda”). Based in Haikou, on the island province of Hainan, Haima has transitioned from assembling Japanese kits to developing independent vehicles that emphasize connectivity and green energy. The brand focuses heavily on MPVs and SUVs tailored for modern families. Haima is currently at the forefront of the hydrogen revolution in China. Taking advantage of Hainan’s status as a Free Trade Port and a green energy hub, Haima has developed the 7X-H, a hydrogen fuel-cell MPV. This vehicle represents the company’s commitment to zero-emission mobility. While they maintain a lineup of gasoline vehicles like the Haima 8S (known for its fast acceleration), their strategic pivot is clearly toward new energy solutions. Brand Evolution Mazda Heritage: Decades of manufacturing experience with Japanese partners instilled strict quality control processes.
