We have arranged for a dedicated person to go to the scene to handle the situation. The fire department has also been involved. We will actively cooperate with the fire department's investigation and carry out follow-up work based on the results of the investigation."
Videos circulating online show that late at night on October 23, an Ideal MEGA suddenly caught fire while driving in Xuhui District, Shanghai. The fire quickly spread within tens of seconds. The two drivers and passengers in the car parked the car and successfully opened the door to escape, but the vehicle was eventually burned to a shell.
