WELCOME!China is the world’s largest automobile market, both in terms of production and consumption.

In 2015, the country produced approximately 24.5 million units and sold around 24.6 million units domestically. This sales number account for more than half of the vehicles sold in Asia, Oceania and Middle-East combined (43.9 million units).

China’s global share on new vehicle production has also been increasing year after year from 3.5% in 2000 to around 25.5% in 2015. In 2014, the sales volume of Chinese automobiles has increased 6.9% from 2013 to 23.5 million cars and eventually to the current 24 million plus.

Nevertheless, the Chinese government intended slowdown of its economic expansion have reduced the demand for cars where the domestic sales expansion of 4.7% (21.1 million units) in 2015 represents the industry slowest sales growth in three years.

The government backed China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), however, is still optimistic. Because of the latest government sales tax reduction, they expect China total vehicle sales to rise about 6% to 26 million cars this year.

The strongest growing segments in China are SUVs and MPVs. According to CAAM, the production and sales of ‘new energy’ vehicles is currently enjoying strong growth with 25,246 units produced and 22,936 units sold (March 2016). This represents an increase of 54.8% and 46% when compared to last year.

Chapter 1

Introduction

ChinaCurrently, domestic production accounts for more than 90% of the total motor vehicle market share. Domestically produced trucks basically meet market demand in terms of variety and quantity. The previous high disparity between supply and demand in the passenger car sector has been largely relieved.

China passenger car production has reached 21.1 million units in 2015 while the

production of commercial vehicles has reached 3.4 million which combined to the total production number of around 24.5 million units last year.

The production number represents an increased of 3.3% when compared to 23.7 million units that were produced in China in 2014. China’s production number dwarfed the number of the second largest car producer in the world, the United States, which managed around 12.1 million units in 2015.

Meanwhile, China’s total car sales has reached new high and expanded by 4.7%, despite the slowdown of its economy, from around 23.5 million to about 24.6 million units in 2015. Last year 4.7% car production growth has has beaten analyst expectations of 3%, however, the expansion is still the slowest in three year. In comparison, auto sales grew 5.7% to 17.5 million units in the U.S. last year.

China vehicle makers sold 21.1 million passenger cars last year, up 7.3% from a year earlier and the growth compares a 10% rise in 2014 and a 16% expansion in 2013.

Section 1

AT A GLANCE

1. The auto industry is highly protected by the government.

2. The prefer segments are currently sports utility vehicle (SUVs), multipurpose vehicles (MPVs), and small engine cars due to government favorable policies.

3. Largely dominated by state owned enterprise (SOEs).

4. Domestic brands are gaining more popularity.

5. A large part of the industry still rely heavily on the import of technologies and know how.

6. Comparatively low vehicle penetration rate of about 115 vehicles per 1,000 inhabitants versus 800 per 1,000 in the United States.

2016 (Forecast) 22.8 3.2 26

The China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the main industry group for the Chinese automotive industry, has predicted that passenger car sales would expand by 7.8% to 22.8 million vehicles in 2016, helped by government purchase incentives for electric and small cars. The latter make up nearly 70% of new-car sales.

The group has, however, warned that the halving of the 10% purchase tax to 5% in October last year could prompt car shoppers to buy now and eventually lower car sales in 2017 if there is no new source of growth while the domestic economy continue to slowdown.

The CAAM sales projected that China total car sales growth will expand by 6% to 26 million units in 2016.

Meanwhile, the World Bank Group predicted that China’s gross domestic products will expand by 6.7% in 2016 when compares to 7.3% and 6.9% in 2014 and 2015 respectively.

On the latest news, China sold 6.53 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2016 which represents an increase of 6% when compared year on year. A total of 2.44 million cars were sold in March, a 54.3% surge from February and an 8.8% rise from the same month last year.

Experts said the March performance is usually much better than in February because the weeklong Spring Festival often falls in February and people rarely buy cars during the festival.

CAAM said the sales in the first quarter are an indicator of consumer demand that was contained in preceding months, and the trend would continue for some time to come.

CAAM expects the growth rate this year to reach about 6% owing to the enthusiasm of Chinese for sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and the government's favorable policies for small-engine cars. A total of 1.96 million SUVs were sold in the first quarter, a 51.5% surge year-on-year and a continuation of the sales momentum seen last year.

China OEMs History

China began to develop a domestic motor vehicle industry in the 50s by pooling together investment and imported technology which led to the establishment of the First Auto Works (FAW) in Changchun in 1953. The first Chinese-made vehicle, a 4-ton truck, was produced in July 15, 1956.

By 1958 many local governments were investing in the automotive industry, with the result that more than 200 factories began to produce motor vehicles. Yet only a small number of these factories survived and went on to become the backbone of today’s automotive industry. Those that did were in Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai, Shenyang, and Jinan. One product of these plants was the Red Flag sedan, the limousine used by high-ranking leaders in China.

Section 1

AT A GLANCE

1. Direct foreign investment into China automotive sector are restricted.

2. Foreign automobile manufacturers have to form a joint venture with domestic partners to produce automobiles in China.

3. All international automobile manufacturers in the passenger vehicle segment are joint ventures.

4. Domestic players are mainly dominant in the bus and truck segments.

5. The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has announced in 2014 that current foreign ownership ceiling of 50% will eventually be lifted in the future.

Audi in China consists of two companies in three locations: Audi China in Beijing; FAW-Volkswagen (FAW-VW) in Changchun (production and Audi sales division); and FAW-VW Foshan plant (production started in 2013).

History of Audi in China

The foundation for the presence of the AUDI AG in China was laid in 1988. After negotiations lasting one year, the first joint venture agreement was signed with Chinese First Automobile Works (FAW), based in the province of Jijin in Northeast China. This was followed by another important milestone. In 1995 – the inclusion in the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture, which is now the China FAW Group Corporation (FAW), established in 1991.

AUDI AG has a 10% share in the joint venture. The production of a modified Audi 100 with a V6 engine was followed in January 2000 by the market launch of the A6.

Audi China

Audi China was established in Beijing in 2009, as a fully owned subsidiary of AUDI AG. The company coordinates business cooperation between AUDI AG, the FAW Group, and Joint-Venture FAW-Volkswagen. In addition, Audi China supports global activities of AUDI AG, especially in Asia.

AUDI AG is now represented in China by a joint venture and a fully owned subsidiary. Together with joint venture partners Volkswagen and the Chinese company, First Automotive Works (FAW), Audi produces in Changchun the Audi A4 L, Audi A6 L, Audi Q3, and Audi Q5 models. The Audi A3 Sportback and the Audi A3 Saloon have been being manufactured in Foshan since 2014. The A6 L and Audi A4 L have an extended wheelbase and were developed especially for China.

Audi China has about 600 employees. Their tasks include product management, market research, support for the sales network, train-the-trainer programs, and trend-scouting. The brand marketing team organizes brand and driving events and operates Audi City, the first digital showroom of Audi in Asia. They expect to open about 500 dealerships in China by 2017.

The new plant in Foshan and the expansion of the Changchun plant is expected to increase Audi’s annual production capacity in China to 700,000 vehicles. Audi is the most fuel efficient premium vehicle in China. Audi in 2012 over-met its weight-based Chinese fuel consumption regulations by a larger margin than any other premium brand. In 2013, Audi achieved a 20% reduction in the average fuel consumption of its locally built models.

With the market introduction of the Audi Q3 and the Audi Q5, Audi is the first manufacturer to equip every locally built model in China with efficient start/stop technology and a brake energy recovery (recuperation) system.

Production Coordination Asia Audi China teams develop tooling suppliers in Asia, support the global AUDI AG logistics network, and offer production ramp-up and planning services for China and additional Asian locations. This includes the evaluation of production scenarios as well as the implementation of new products at current production facilities. The engineers work in close cooperation with Joint-Venture FAW-Volkswagen and the global production teams of AUDI AG.

Production

The production of automobiles by the joint venture in Changchun includes the four major areas of car manufacturing: press shop, body shop, paint shop and assembly. Audi’s annual production capacity at FAW-Volkswagen in Changchun has been expanded in recent years to 450,000 automobiles. At present, the plant produces the models Audi A4 L, Audi A6 L, Audi Q3 and Audi Q5. Production at the joint venture meets the standards set by AUDI AG for all of the company’s global plants. Audi had already brought ultra-modern automotive and manufacturing technology such as laser welding and hot-wax flooding to China in the late 1990s. And in 2012, the brand with the Four Rings was the first car manufacturer to integrate lightweight components in local production with the new Audi A6 L. 

The FAW-Volkswagen plant completed in Foshan in southern China in late 2013 produces the Audi A3 Sportback and the Audi A3 Sedan. It is the first plant in China in which models are built on the basis of the new MQB platform. The Audi facility in Foshan can be ramped up to a capacity of between 150,000 and 200,000 automobiles per annum. 

The flexible plant structure allows ongoing gradual capacity expansion. Depending on the market, Audi will be able to expand its total production capacity in China (Changchun and Foshan) to 700,000 automobiles per annum by 2017.
