The **Jingjin Area** is one of the most significant automotive regions in China, home to major companies such as Beijing Hyundai, FAW Toyota, Tianjin FAW, and Beijing Mercedes-Benz. This area benefits from being a political and economic hub, with a strategic location just 130 kilometers apart between Beijing and Tianjin—two directly administered municipalities. As key players in the Bohai Economic Circle, the automobile industry in this region has long played a crucial role in national development.
In 1983, the establishment of Beijing Jeep Co., Ltd. marked a milestone as the first Sino-foreign joint venture in the automotive sector. This partnership between the Beijing Automobile Manufacturing Plant and American Motors laid the foundation for future collaborations. Since the 1980s, with strong government support and a solid industrial base, the Jingjin region has experienced rapid growth in its auto industry, making it a core pillar of Tianjin's economy.
Through the merger of Tianqi Group and FAW Group, Beijing Auto Holding Co., Ltd. emerged, leading several manufacturers like Beiqi Foton, Beijing Hyundai, and Beijing Benz-Dike. This consolidation helped build a comprehensive product line covering passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and off-road vehicles. Today, the Jingjin region has evolved into a well-established automotive cluster, attracting investment and talent from across the country.
Moving on to the **Northeast Region**, it is home to prominent automakers such as FAW Group, FAW-Volkswagen, FAW Mazda, Hafei Group, and Huachen Group. The area boasts a strong industrial foundation and substantial government backing. Historically, the Northeast was heavily influenced by Soviet industrialization, especially after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. This led to the development of a robust heavy industry base and a wealth of skilled labor.
FAW Group, established in 1953 in Changchun, became China’s first and largest automotive company. By the late 1980s and early 1990s, it became a preferred partner for foreign automakers looking to enter the Chinese market. Over time, FAW expanded its partnerships with universities, Sinopec, and CNPC, driving technological innovation and supporting related industries. This growth helped spread the automotive industry across the three northeastern provinces, establishing them as a critical production base.
In **Hubei Province**, companies like Dongfeng Motors, Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroen, and Dongfeng Honda play a central role. The province benefits from national support and convenient transportation due to its strategic position along the Yangtze River. Hubei began developing heavy industry in the 19th century and saw further growth after the founding of the People’s Republic of China. In 1969, the second Chinese car was produced in Shiyan, later renamed Dongfeng Motor.
Today, Dongfeng is one of China’s "three major" automotive groups, alongside FAW and SAIC. The province has developed a wide industrial belt spanning Wuhan, Xiangfan, and Shiyan. With government collaboration in education and advanced transport networks, Hubei continues to attract global brands like Peugeot-Citroen and Honda, strengthening its position in the automotive sector.
**Anhui** is known for companies such as Chery and JAC. Although its manufacturing advantages were not initially strong, Anhui gained an early foothold in the auto industry. The automobile sector began in the late 1960s, focusing on minivans and trucks. In the 1990s, the provincial government made the auto industry a priority, creating supportive policies. Due to limited foreign partners, local companies focused on independent R&D.
After China joined the WTO in 2001, tariffs dropped, prompting rapid growth in domestic auto manufacturing. Anhui became a key focus for the government, receiving support in policies, resources, and funding. This led to increased human resource development and technological advancement, fueling the automotive boom in the region.
**Chongqing** is a major player in the auto industry, with companies like Changan Group, Changan Ford Mazda, Changan Suzuki, and Lifan Motors. The city benefits from a well-developed machinery industry and unique terrain. Chongqing has a long history of industrial activity and has developed its own auto sector since the early days of liberation.
Despite many joint ventures, Chongqing emphasizes independent development, aiming to create its own intellectual property. Companies like Changan Group have grown from pioneers in modern industry to leading small car and engine manufacturers. Chongqing is now a leader in independent innovation within China’s auto sector.
In the **Pearl River Delta**, Guangzhou Toyota, Guangzhou Honda, Dongfeng Nissan, and BYD are among the top automakers. The region benefits from a complete industrial chain and active government involvement. After Guangzhou Peugeot’s bankruptcy in 1997, the city repositioned itself by welcoming Guangzhou Honda, which revitalized the local auto industry.
Guangzhou’s success attracted more joint ventures, each bringing their own production and logistics systems. The government created industrial parks with low land costs, efficient transport, and favorable policies, earning the trust of major automakers. Today, the Pearl River Delta is a thriving auto hub, often referred to as the “Oriental Detroit,†with major Japanese brands and local companies like BYD and Foday contributing to its growth.
Finally, the **Yangtze River Delta** includes Shanghai Volkswagen, Shanghai GM, Geely, Nanjing Iveco, and other leading enterprises. The region is known for its advanced manufacturing and ease of exporting. As a major port city, Shanghai has been instrumental in leveraging foreign capital and technology. In 1985, Shanghai Volkswagen became China’s first car joint venture, setting the stage for rapid development.
The region also benefited from the expertise of Zhejiang’s manufacturing community, who built a complete supply chain. This led to the rise of private companies like Geely and Zotye. Today, the Yangtze River Delta is the largest auto production base in China, with a vast network of vehicle and parts manufacturers.
