Jianghuai Automobile Co, one of China's 10 largest automakers, will deliver 100 electric vehicles to a leading electric carmaker in the United States on Wednesday.

The vehicles, part of the 2,000 units purchased by the US-based GreenTech Automotive Corp, will be delivered from Hefei, where JAC is located, while the other 1,900 will be shipped from there in the near future.

In 2012, GreenTech inked an agreement with JAC to bring 2,000 battery-powered electric vehicles to the US market. After more than one and a half years of research and development, the Chinese automaker formally reached an agreement with its partner in August to export the vehicles to the US.
