CHENGDU,
China, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Senmiao
Technology Limited ("Senmiao" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: AIHS),
a financing and servicing company focused on the online
ride-hailing industry in China as
well as an operator of its own online ride-hailing platform, today
announced the operating metrics for its proprietary online
ride-hailing platform for the month of May
2023. In May 2023, Senmiao and
its affiliates recorded approximately 0.8 million total completed
orders, compared to approximately 0.9 million total orders
completed in April 2023. The decrease
was due to increased competition in the Chengdu market as a result of new ride-hailing
platforms launching and offering promotions during the
month.
Numbers reported include the number of completed orders from
several ride-hailing platforms in Chengdu (Meituan, Xiehua, Anma and other
platforms), utilizing Senmiao's network of cars and drivers for a
set monthly fee.
Since the launch of Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform in
October 2020, approximately
23.4 million rides have been completed using its own platform.
Over 7.9 million rides have been completed on Meituan, Xiehua,
Anma and other platforms in partnership with Senmiao since
August 2021. The number of drivers
completing rides via all the platforms (known as Active Drivers) in
May 2023 was 7,470, compared to 7,422
in April 2023.
The table below presents approximate unaudited operating metrics
of Senmiao and its affiliates' online ride-hailing platform since
the launch in October 2020.

1 Under
the original model, orders coming from partner platforms are
completed by Senmiao's own platform. A rider can search for
taxi/ride-hailing services on Senmiao's partner platforms, which
then provide the rider with options for online ride-sharing service
providers, including Senmiao. If the rider selects Senmiao, the
order will then be distributed to registered drivers on Senmiao's
own platform for viewing and acceptance and then completed by
Active Drivers. Senmiao earns commissions for each completed order
based on a certain percentage of the value of the order.
|
2 Under
the new model, orders go through partner platforms but do not
utilize Senmiao's own platform. Online ride-hailing requests and
orders will be completed on the partner platforms utilizing Senmiao
and its affiliates' network of cars and drivers for a set monthly
fee.
