by Aleksei TitovLast Update: June 14, 202380829

China has been world’s largest auto maker since 2009, and it is obvious that the industry has huge capacity and potential.

However, many experts agree that today Chinese car companies face a lot of challenges that may well change the landscape, making some manufacturers consolidate.

As of 2014, the total annual output almost reached 24 million vehicles. Many of these cars were sold domestically (there are more than a hundred vehicles for every 1000 people in China). Four largest manufacturers are SAIC, Chang’an, FAW, Dongfeng. The list of ten top car makers also includes First Automobile Works, Beijing Auto Group, Guangzhou Automobile, Chery, BYD, Brilliance, Jianghuai Automobile.

Founded: 2011

As of 2014 SAIC produced more cars than any other auto manufacturer in this country. Its production volume reached 4.5 million vehicles. More than a million of SAIC vehicles are commercial vans.

There were no Chinese car brands before Hongqi. Its very first car was CA72 based on a 1955 Chrysler. Eight years later CA770 appeared. This model was manufactured until 1980, and more than 1,600 units were made. Cars of the next generation, CA7200/CA7220 and CA7460, were based on Audi 100 and Lincoln Town Car respectively. By 2006, HQ3 was launched, which was very much like the Toyota Crown Majesta and did not enjoy market success. However, these vehicles are often purchased by government officials.

Actually, this large company was started just as a motorcycle repair shop with less than 10 employees.

Today, Lifan’s product range consists of passenger autos, as well as microvans, motorcycles, trucks, and mini-vehicles. A lot of cars (especially small passenger ones) are marketed in developing countries.
