Chinese OEM SAIC produced 4.94 million vehicles over the first 8 months of 2017
- The Chinese manufacturer SAIC produces cars in partnership with GM and Volkswagen, and produces other cars under its own brands Roewe and MG.
- SAIC produced 4.94 million vehicles over the first 8 months of 2017, including 2.34 million for GM, 2.28 million for Volkswagen and 0.32 million for its own brands Roewe and MG.
- This volume puts it in third place worldwide if we include the SAIC production for Volkswagen and GM, and if we deduce these quantities on the volume of global production of Volkswagen and GM.
- This is the first time a Chinese automaker has come so close to world first place.
- In accounting for manufacturing made by Chinese manufacturers for foreign manufacturers, the ranking of the top six global manufacturers in the first 8 months of 2017 is as follows:
The Toyota Group leads with 6.10 million vehicles produced, ahead of Renault-Nissan (5.90 million), SAIC (4.94 million), Volkswagen (4.80 million), Hyundai-Kia (4.16 million) and GM (3.87 million).
- Volkswagen and GM suffer more in this ranking from their greater dependence on Chinese automakers than Toyota and Renault-Nissan, because they produce less in China.
