It appears like it. If we have a look at Wuling’s brand name approach and follow Wuling’s brand name story, cars with the Red Wuling badge are for the regional Chinese market and cars with the Silver Wuling badge are for the worldwide market The Wuling Bingo currently includes the Silver Wuling badge, so we might see it in some markets beyond China quicker instead of later on. In addition, the Wuling Air is currently being put together in Indonesia and is now on sale in India, where it has actually been rebadged as the MG Comet Ideally we will see an “MG Bingo” in India too.
