It has a market capitalization of more than US$12 billion. LeEco is engaged in a myriad of businesses, spanning from Internet-based Super TV and Superphones, video production and distribution, smart devices/accessories and large-screen applications, to e-commerce and even connected super-electric cars.

Both Faraday Future and LeEco will be working together to develop powertrain solutions, improve drivetrain performance and refine data acquisition and analytics for more accurate predictions of vehicle performance and efficiency. Going forward, the team will incorporate more Faraday Future technologies, including software, firmware, motors, gearbox and the FF Echelon Inverter to the racing vehicles.
