Xu Liuping Inspects Guangdong by Auto Show

Yesterday, at the closing of the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2009, Chongqing's auto companies not only had great strength in the booth, but also had a lot of private “activities”. The newspaper was exclusively informed that on the first day of the opening of the Guangzhou car, Xu Liuping, president of China Chang'an Automobile, led the Chang’an senior executives to pay a secret visit to a number of high-level government officials in Guangdong. "On November 23, CEO Xu (Liuping) and General Manager Zhang (Bao Lin) met the leaders of the Guangdong Provincial Government at the Zhuhai Hotel in Guangzhou, and their ranks were very high." One Changan person who participated in the meeting said to reporters Xu Liuping first briefed the Guangdong provincial officials on the reorganization of the automobile business by the Chinese Armed Forces Group and AVIC Group, as well as the development of Changan Automobile in recent years. Guangdong officials mainly asked about Changan’s new R&D capabilities and overview of new energy vehicles, and introduced Guangdong’s automobile industry and foreign investment policies. “An official in Guangdong said that he believes that Changan Automobile has entered the fast lane of a virtuous circle.” The above-mentioned Changan sources said that Guangdong Province actively welcomes Changan Automobile to invest and set up factories in Guangdong.

“Xu Xu’s current visit to Guangdong aims to gain insights into the development thinking and policies of Guangdong through on-site inspections and thus to consider the layout of the automotive industry,” said the Chang’an source.

Two solutions are pending

In fact, Chang’an already has plans to plan the layout of South China. This year, Changan has launched capacity expansion projects in three traditional bases in Chongqing, Hebei, and Nanjing. "These bases are located in the north of the Yangtze River and on the territory of Chang'an, South China cannot be reduced." Another high-level Changan Automobile disclosed that the South China region is not only a vast market with high purchasing power, but also has an excellent automobile supporting system. “Xu Zeng took advantage of this Guangzhou auto show and called on the Guangdong officials. Both parties expressed a strong desire for cooperation. As far as I know, Chang’an will send a team to visit Guangdong.” The high-level manager said that it is still not clear Guangzhou develops microcars, cars or new energy vehicles.

However, Xie Shikang, director of the Changan Automobile Office, said that Changan has successfully acquired Hafei Motors and Changhe Automobiles. “Hafei Motor has a base in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, but it is currently not operating. Changan is located in South China, and revitalizing this base is also a route. , not necessarily invest in building a new factory." The reporter learned that in September 2004, Hafei Automobile invested RMB 2 billion in Shenzhen to build a factory covering 604,000 square meters. Unexpectedly, due to the poor sales of Saibao V, which was put into operation, from June 15, 2007, Hafei Shenzhen base that had been put into production for more than half a year was completely shut down. It has been more than two years now.

Production of microcars is highly likely

“I think it is more likely to restart Hafei 's Shenzhen plant.” A person in charge of the Lifan minicar division said that the South China market has been the world of Japanese cars for many years, and the number of possessions in the market has also been ranked first. Chang’an’s presence in Guangdong is certainly the same as that of cars. Can not be compared with the Japanese car, "micro-car is more likely." The responsible person said.

"The layout of South China will bring Chang'an 's products to production and transportation advantages." Changan Automobile sources said that Chongqing's car facilities are still generally behind Guangdong, and Guangdong's radiation ability is very strong. Besides the South China market, the sea also has It is very convenient and has advantages over the Hebei base.
