CHENGDU, China, Jan. 11, 2022 /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 December 2021. In December 2021, Senmiao reported approximately 1.1 million total completed orders, a 13.9% increase from over 0.9 million total orders completed in November 2021, as travel restrictions and lockdowns in Chengdu were lifted in December 2021.

Approximately 2.5 million rides have been completed on the Major Platform under Senmiao's new partnership with Meituan, which commenced in August 2021.
