China Automotive Industry Cluster

Jingjin area
Representative enterprises: Beijing Hyundai, FAW Toyota, Tianjin FAW, Beijing Mercedes-Benz, etc.
Advantages: Political Economic Center
130 kilometers, which is the distance between Beijing and Tianjin, two municipalities directly under the Central Government. As the two most important cities in China's Bohai Economic Circle, the automobile industry in the Beijing-Tianjin region occupies an important position in the country. In May 1983, the Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant and the American Automobile Company jointly established Beijing Jeep Co., Ltd. This is not only the first domestic vehicle joint venture, but also the largest joint venture in China. With the strong support of the government, the automobile industry in the Beijing-Tianjin region, which has relied on the well-established automobile industry since the founding of the People's Republic of China, has entered a period of rapid development since the 1980s, and the automobile industry has become a pillar industry in Tianjin.
With the strong combination of Tianqi Group and FAW Group, Beijing Auto Holding Co., Ltd. led four vehicle manufacturers including Beiqi Foton, Beijing Hyundai, Beijing Benz-Dike and Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant, and formed a fleet of cars, commercial vehicles, and off-road vehicles. The vehicle's vehicle product system. The current Beijing-Tianjin region has already formed a “automobile industry cluster” area with strong attraction and pull.

North-east area
Representative enterprises: FAW Group, FAW-Volkswagen, FAW Mazda, Hafei Group, Huachen Group, etc.
Advantages: a solid industrial foundation and government support The mineral resources in the northeast region are very rich. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the exchanges between China and the heavily developed Soviet Union were concentrated mainly in the northeast. A solid foundation of heavy industry and a large number of outstanding talents emerged from the development of the “Great Northern Wilderness”, making the Northeast region naturally the most important automobile industry base in China.
In 1953, FAW Group, China’s earliest and largest auto group, broke ground in Changchun, symbolizing that Chinese cars started from here. As early as the late 1980s and early 1990s, when multinational car companies intended to enter China and seek partners, FAW Group naturally became the best choice.
Later, under the support of the government, FAW strengthened cooperation with various colleges and universities, Sinopec and CNPC, and developed new technologies. In the course of its development, FAW has also driven the rapid development of related industries. The deep foundation of machinery manufacturing and perfect supporting systems have enabled the automotive industry to rapidly radiate from Changchun to the entire northeast region: Huachen Group of Liaoning and Hafei Group of Heilongjiang. The three eastern provinces have thus become one of the most important automobile production bases in China.

Hubei
Representative companies: Dongfeng Motors, Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroen, Dongfeng Honda, etc. Advantages: National support, convenient transportation
Located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, Hubei Province boasts rich products and abundant land. It is an important transportation hub in China. As early as the 19th century, Hubei began to develop its own heavy industry. After the founding of New China, Hubei Province, which was backed by the Yangtze River, began to fully develop the transportation and transportation industry, further consolidating the position of the industrial center of the Yangtze River Valley. In 1969, China’s second car was completed in Shiyan, Hubei, and was renamed “Dongfeng Motor” in the 1990s.
At present, the country is vigorously developing the automobile industry. Dongfeng Automobile, which is also known as China's “three major automobile groups” by FAW and SAIC, has naturally become a key target. It has established Wuhan-Xiangfan-Shiyan miles of parts and components.
Industry belt. The powerful Dongfeng Motor also joins hands with the government in running schools to cultivate top-notch automotive talent. In addition to advanced land, sea and land transport, Hubei Province not only started the truck and truck industry.
Intensified, it attracted more PSAs such as Peugeot-Citroen and Honda.

Anhui
Representative Enterprises: Chery, JAC Advantages: Beginning early, the state propelling objectively speaking, Anhui’s manufacturing advantages are not outstanding, but it’s winning early. The automobile industry in Anhui originated in the late 1960s and mainly focuses on the production of minivans and trucks. In the middle and late 1990s, the Anhui provincial government decisively proposed to take the automobile industry as the pillar industry of the province, and studied and formulated a series of supportive development policies. Due to lack of partners, auto companies in Anhui have embarked on the road of independent research and development.
In 2001, when China joined the WTO, the tariffs on imported cars and parts dropped sharply within five years. As a result, the development of the national automobile industry has become an imminent event, and Anhui Province, where the development of self-owned brands has taken shape, has become the country's key support.
Under the support of a large number of preferential policies, resources, and funds in the country, Anhui has begun a large-scale cultivation of human resources, strengthening technology research and development, and the automotive industry is booming.

Chongqing
Representative enterprises: Chang'an Group, Changan Ford Mazda, Changan Suzuki, Lifan Automobile, etc.
Advantages: Well-developed machinery manufacturing industry, special terrain
As far back as liberation, Chongqing was a famous industrial city. Coupled with the name of “Mountain City,” Chongqing had its own automobile industry very early. With the direct jurisdiction of Chongqing and the prosperity of the transportation industry, Chongqing has become an important battleground for many auto manufacturers. Although Chongqing’s larger auto factories are joint ventures, Chongqing has always insisted on independent development in the development of the automotive industry. It hopes to form its own intellectual property products through effective learning, and to occupy itself in increasingly fierce competition. Place.
Today, Chongqing Changan Automobile Co., Ltd., Changan Suzuki Motor Co., Ltd., Changan Ford Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd., and Lifan Motors Co., Ltd.
The company has more than ten companies, Changan Group, whose industries involve the entire vehicle and engine sectors. It has developed from the earliest modern industrial pioneer in China to the largest small car and engine manufacturer in China. It deserves to be the leader in independent innovation of the Chinese automobile industry. one.

Pearl River Delta
Representative companies: Guangzhou Toyota, Guangzhou Honda, Dongfeng Nissan, BYD, etc. Advantages: Appropriate Government Participation in a Complete Industrial Chain When Guangzhou Peugeot went bankrupt in 1997, it was believed that Guangzhou should still develop light industry and tertiary industry honestly, and it is not suitable for making automobiles. . In 1998, Guangzhou Honda was established on the ruins of Guangbiao. GAC Group requested Honda to introduce globally-relevant models, and to transform the Peugeot discarded production line while producing. In this way, Guangben not only has advanced technology, but also adopts a “phased investment, rolling development” model, which has achieved a small input and large output, allowing the Guangzhou automobile industry to resurrect.
The success of Guangben has gradually attracted more joint venture projects. When each joint venture project enters Guangzhou, it will bring about its own perfect production and transportation system. The Guangzhou government has pooled its resources and established several major automobile industrial parks, ensuring low land prices, well-developed transportation and relaxed policies, but not intervening in the management of enterprises, and has won the favor of major auto companies.
Now Guangzhou has formed a complete industrial chain of “components research and development, vehicle production, logistics and transportation, and personnel training” and has radiated to the entire Pearl River Delta. At present, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and other three major Japanese auto giants, plus modern commercial vehicles, Isuzu buses, BYD, Foday, Pearl River Delta region like a "Oriental Detroit."

Yangtze River Delta
Representative enterprises: Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai GM, Shanghai Huapu, Geely, Nanjing Iveco, etc.
Advantages: Extremely high level of manufacturing, easy to export Shanghai is a famous port city and one of the most economically developed cities in China. This makes Shanghai know how to use foreign capital and introduce technology. In 1985, Shanghai Volkswagen, the earliest car joint venture in China, was founded. The Shanghai auto industry has found a short-cut to a high-speed development path. Afterwards, Nanjing Automobile, Shanghai GM, Dongfeng Yueda Kia, and Changan Ford No. 2 Plant have settled here.
As early as in the early days of the development of the automobile industry in Jiangsu and Shanghai, the Zhejiang people, who had always been highly skilled in the manufacturing industry, saw business opportunities. As a result, parts and components companies emerged in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and formed a complete supporting system. This gave birth to Geely and Goo. Zotye and other small and medium-sized private auto companies.
Nowadays, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai are the three largest cities in the country. The scale of vehicle manufacturing companies and parts and components companies in the Yangtze River Delta ranks first in the country, and it has become China's largest automobile production base.
