China"s Automobile Production Reaches 10 Million UnitsIn 1956, China"s first modern automobile factory, First Automobile Works, began
production. Its production for the first year was only 1,500 units. Fifty-three
years later, China now has more than 100 automobile manufacturers and its yearly
production is expected to surpass 12 million units in 2009.
Shanghai
Automotive Industry Corp is one of China"s major automobile factories. This is
the company"s director Hu Maoyuan:
"The first million units cost Shanghai
Volkswagen 13 years to accomplish; the second million units cost 4 years; the
fourth million units costs 3 years and the fifth million units only costs us 1.5
years. It indicates China"s automobile industry is accelerating at an increasing
pace."
In the past 3 decades, China"s share of global automobile
production increased from 0.4 percent to 13.4 percent. While the global
automobile industry is suffering from the financial crisis that broke out in
2007, the sale of China"s major automobile manufacturers reached nearly 900
billion yuan in the first eight months of 2009.
However, the automobile
sales increase in first tier markets such as Guangdong and Shanghai has slowed
this year, but the second and third tier markets such as Anhui, Henan and
Sichuan have seen rapid progress. Qin Lifeng owns an automobile shop in a suburb
of Chongqing.
"China started to give subsidies to rural citizens to buy
vehicles early this year. The sales in my shop increased rapidly in May and
June. I sold more than 30 units in September alone."
Yang Yu, commentator
of China Central Television says China now is no doubt one of the best
automobile markets in the world, but he has some concern about the future of the
industry.
"China implemented a series of measures to stimulate its
domestic automobile consumption, but the effects will fade as time goes by. And
foreign investment will evacuate when the foreign markets recover from the
economic crisis. My third concern is China"s automobile industry is in need of
possible change in the future. The production line we are building now might
soon be out of date and become surplus."
Commentator Yang Yu says China"s
automobile design and production technique is still low grade. New energy
vehicles are the industry"s future, whether China is able to grab this chance is
another question.
