CHENGDU,
China, Nov. 22, 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 October 2023. In
October 2023, Senmiao and its
affiliates recorded 0.57 million total completed orders, compared
to 0.61 million total orders completed in September 2023. The decrease was primarily a
result of increased competition and the impact of a compliance
check performed by Gaode, Senmiao's online ride-hailing platform
partner under the original model1, in Chengdu, one of the main cities where Senmiao
operates.
Numbers reported include the number of completed orders from
several ride-hailing platform partners in Chengdu, 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
25.4 million rides have been completed using its own platform.
Nearly 9.0 million rides have been completed on several platforms
in partnership with Senmiao under the new model3. The
number of drivers completing rides via all the platforms (known as
Active Drivers) in October 2023 was
5,903, compared to 6,065 in September
2023.
The table below presents approximate unaudited operating metrics
of Senmiao and its affiliates' online ride-hailing platform since
the launch in October 2020.

1Under 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.
2Under 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.
3.New model starts in August
2021.
