Changan became the 15th biggest carmaker in the world in 2015
- Chinese manufacturer Changan became the 15the biggest carmaker in the world 2015, behind Mazda and Mitsubishi. This ranking does not include Changan's JVs with foreign manufacturers (such as Ford, Mazda or PSA) or its JVs with other Chinese manufacturers (such as SAIC, FAW, Dongfeng or BAIC), which have themselves signed partnerships with foreign manufacturers.
- Changan manufactured 1.11 million passenger cars under its own brand in 2015, plus 1.09 million passenger vehicles under the brands of Ford (0.66 million), Mazda (0.23 million), Suzuki (0.18 million) and DS (0.02 million) as part of JVs.
- Changan currently has 16 models of passenger vehicle under its own brand, including 5 sedans, 5 minivans (mini MPVs), 3 MPVs and 3 SUVs. Changan also manufactured 0.14 million utility vehicles in 2015.
- Most of its production takes place in China, it makes practically no exports to foreign countries, and its models cater well to Chinese demand, but not to demand in other markets. Its attempts to start production in Iran, Russia and Africa have not been successful. South East Asian countries (Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia) appear to be most within the grasp of this manufacturer seeking to establish plants abroad.
- Changan has 9 industrial centres in China, situated in Chongqing, Heilongjiang, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Hebei, Anhui, Shanxi, Guangdong and Shandong, with a total of 21 assembly plants, allowing for an annual production capacity of 2 200 000 vehicles (JV and non JV). Today the capacity utilisation rate of its factories is close to 100%.
