faw car, based in the northeast china city of changchun, produces cars under the besturn, oley and hongqi brands. it also builds the mazda 6 and cx - 9 under a license agreement with mazda motor corp .
faw first automobile works, established in 1953, produces and markets cars under the faw, faw besturn, faw freewin, faw hongqi, faw jiefang and haima (sub -) brands and has manufacturing joint ventures with audi, mazda, toyota and volkswagen .
sales of the firm' s besturn model, based on mazda motor' s mazda6, which the company also manufactures, spiked, as it reaped the benefits of targeting high - end middle - class consumers, said shanghai - based analyst jiahao gu, who tracks the carmaker for csc securities .
given this fact, vw doesn' t really want to burn any bridges. in addition, even if the allegations are true, they can' t legally do much until faw comes out with its besturn b50 in 2013, faw' s small car model believed to be the model in question .
dash loox good but a bit mazda - like. that indeed is well possible, faw’s upcoming besturn b90 is based on the mazda 6 and this is almost the same dash as the b90. faw so makes cars in jv’s with volkswagen, mazda and toyota. then they make their own cars based on volkswagens, audi’s and mazda’s. a mess it is .
the b70 is a mid - size sedan slotted between the b50 and b90 in faw’s besturn lineup. the first - gen, which shares a platform with the first - gen mazda6, was unveiled on april 23, 2006, in beijing as
faw c301 .
on august 18, 2006, it hit the market simply as
besturn ,
as it was the first model to bear that name. the 2006 - 2011 models shared powertrains with the mazda6 built by the joint venture of faw - mazda, which featured a 108kw 2. 0l (lf) and 120kw 2. 3l (l3) engine. the two engine options were dropped in 2012, replaced by an faw - built 1. 8 liter (et3) shared with the b50 .
faw car is spending more than $ 120 million through 2009 to build more models of the besturn, aiming at chinese consumers seeking cars designed for the needs of the home market. sales of domestically made cars shot up 18. 5% in the first half of this year over last years first six months, to more than 5 million vehicles, according to the china association of automobile manufacturers .
in the late 2000s, the company tried to increase the local content of its cars. with help from western engineering consultants and design houses, it developed its own designs like vita c1, haima 3 and besturn. however, their underpinnings were still based on its existing joint - venture cars. despite of its existence for over half a century, faw has yet to realize the original target of mao zedong .
analysts predict that profit growth for faw car will slow down in the latter half of this year, as advertising and engineering costs relating to the company' s new models, the updated mazda6 and the besturn b50, will cut into the bottom line. both gu and wang expect yearly profit growth to be lower than 200% , particularly because the firm' s sales in the second half of 2007 had accelerated, making a dramatic growth spurt in the second half of 2008 less likely .
around 2010 faw was exposed developing a compact car named besturn b30, which however did not launch as expected. instead, the faw oley was released in 2012 to fill the position of entry - level sedan. as the oley has proved a flop, faw re - launched the b30 in 2015. although looking very different from the 2010 model, the 2016 b30 is believed by some to be derived from the same platform–volkswagen’s pq32. they consider the new b30 a derivative of the vw bora (a chinese variant of jetta) .
as a core business of faw group developing homegrown brands, faw - car is one of the most important strategical partners. the two paties have built up a very close relationship while tagal provided large amount of hdg products to the automaker since 2005. also, tagal has large shares on the models like mazda, besturn and hongqi produced by faw - car. in 2013, the partners had great progress on eti project. tagal was offered high praise by the car producer in regards to excellent comnerial service, product quality, logistics solutions and technical service .
the x40 is similar in size and price to the faw xenia r7, launched last may, and they share the same platform and technology. makes sense to develop 2 models? well, consider this: faw is a huge conglomerate that consists of a number of subdivisions and these have differences in popularity by region or market, so while it’s indeed hugely inefficient, there is at least some economy of scale to be gained. the besturn x40 is powered by a 1, 6 - liter engine with 115hp / 155nm, mated to either a 5mt or a 6at transmission. dimensions are 4. 310 / 1. 780 / 1. 680mm with a 2. 600mm wheelbase .
faw: first automotive works (now known as the faw group) is one of the oldest chinese automakers and has been a cooperation partner with mazda, toyota, and vw, but it also has brands of its own (besturn, haima, hongqi, and xiali). hongqi (red flag) has built its baroque “three flags” limousine since the 1950s. faw’s in - house brands launched nine new models in 2009, but on closer inspection, things look less rosy. “unlike some others, faw does not own the technology of its cars, ” says analyst siebert. indeed, faw is responsible for almost zero independent engineering, and its generic styling themes have little potential to keep the brands alive. faw had better keep its cooperation partners happy, as it seems unlikely to be able to survive on its own .
the pace of sales in the chinese automobile market slowed in the first half of 2008, but the listed unit of china' s second - largest carmaker, first automobile works group, performed strongly, on the enthusiastic reception for its midsized sedans as well as diligent cost - cutting efforts .
amid consumer concerns about high fuel prices and inflation, growth in car sales moderated to 17% in the first half of this year, versus the comparable period last year, the china association of automobile manufacturers said on wednesday. in the first half of 2007, auto sales grew 22% , year on year, over 2006. but faw car co. , based in changchun, in the northeastern province of jilin, and listed on the shenzhen stock exchange, expects to post first - half profit growth of 200% to 250% .
passenger vehicle sector growth slowed [ compared with ] 2007, but this company' s performance is above average because it has successfully launched the new models ,
said shanghai - based analyst yusheng wang, who tracks faw car for boci research .
faw car previously had not been making use of its full capacity, so its rapid growth will create some efficiencies of scale, partially combating the impact of hikes in steel prices and rising labor costs, wang said .
forecasts for the chinese auto sector as a whole call for 15% profit growth for 2008, with 10 million vehicles expected to be sold, gu said .
faw, which posted first - quarter profit growth of 261% , to around $ 60 million, raised its first - quarter sales volume by 70% over last year' s equivalent period, to 280, 000 vehicles .
listed chinese firms expecting earnings swings of 50% or more are obligated by the securities regulator to release profit estimates publicly in advance. faw car' s audited financial report is due on aug 28 .

chinese piracy is nothing new. chinese piracy of entire car engines is, however .
in what' s turning into a warning for all car companies hoping to capitalize on the chinese market, china' s first automotive works (faw) is allegedly copying volkswagen' s golf and polo model transmissions, then putting them into their own cars, reports german newspaper handelsblatt .
to manufacture cars in china, foreign car makers must join in partnerships with one of china' s domestic, state - run car companies. while opening the door for opportunities at piracy, many foreign car companies see it as a necessary risk, given the huge opportunity in sales china presents. in april, vw took this risk when it extended its joint venture contract with faw, chinese prime minister wen jiabao and german chancellor angela merkel there to witness the occasion .
but is the risk worth the reward? for vw, it appears so. last year, vw sold 2. 26 million cars in china, 27% of total sales for the german car maker. in the first half of this year, the number grew 17% to 1. 3 million .
faw seems to recognize their chance, too. according to engineering firms whom work with vw, faw has built a manufacturing factory in changchun where it plans to start churning out the bestrun b50 .
in the end, maybe it' s all just an attempt at payback. in april, when merkel and the chinese pm were in attendance for the official hand shake between vw' s ceo martin winterkorn and chinese partner xu jianyi, the back drop mistakenly said volkswagen / sai. a bit ironic, and embarrassing, given sai is regarded as the largest rival to faw .

a total of 1, 000 high - end passenger cars from domestic brand hongqi have been sold to the people’s liberation army and sent to its general armament department for military use, according to the people’s liberation army daily, the official newspaper of the armed forces .
the cars are the first batch of hongqi vehicles to join the military vehicle team after beijing set out new official car procurement policy this january in favour of domestic brands .
the military would no longer buy new cars from foreign brands like audi or volkswagen, including their joint ventures in china. the ruling was approved by president xi jinping and issued by the people’s liberation army (pla) headquarters, “promoting frugality and cutting down on waste in military and armed police forces” .
purchase of new official cars for military use should be arranged within a centralised system and vehicles should be selected from domestic brands, the ruling said. spending on domestic and overseas business trips should also be strictly controlled, it added .
besides faw, which produce hongqi, the military has also invited guangzhou automobile group, shanghai’s saic motor, brilliance auto and beijing’s baic to bid for the tender .
hongqi h7 sedan l is promoted by faw as the country’s “first self - developed high - end passenger car model”. it launched last year and sold about 3, 000 cars in first nine months, most ordered by official departments, xinhua reported then .
as a car with a price range of 299, 800 yuan to 479, 800 yuan (hk $ 376, 700 - hk $ 602, 900) the year’s sales of hongqi were only equal to bmw’s sales in a period of three days, or audi’s over two days, according to the china business news newspaper .

headquarters and r & d center: changchun main assembly plants: changchun (faw, mazda), changchun (jv with vw), tianjin (jv with toyota), hainan (haima) .
soon after communist party took over china, mao zedong set an ambitious target of overtaking the great britain in 5 years and matching united states in 10 years. in order to promote the
new china
into an industrial superpower, he launched the first 5 - year plan. among others, the plan called for establishing china' s own motor industry. as a result, first automobile works was founded in 1953 as the first car maker in china. all technologies and production toolings were donated by soviet union, which also helped designing the faw production plant in changchun .
the first faw product was a truck named
jiefang
, which meant
liberation
in typical communist style. in the first three decades, faw was essentially a truck manufacturer, although it also produced a handful of hongqi (or
red flag
) luxury limousines for party leaders based on outdated soviet designs. ironically, millions of chinese people died in hunger in the late 1950s, then waves of political thunderstorms killed similar amount in the next two decades. china had been famous for poverty, thus mass production of passenger cars was out of question .
in 1978, deng xiaoping launched an economic reform whose alternative name was
capitalism
. as a result, the state - owned faw became profit and market - oriented. it sent engineers to japan for training and modernized its production plant. production of trucks increased following domestic economic growth. the 1 millionth jiefang truck was built in 1983 .
to produce cars in china. initially, the venture assembled old audi 100 based on knock - down kits, then it started producing the equally outdated volkswagen jetta mk2 (which is still in service today). these cars were extensively used as government cars and taxis all over china .
2002 saw faw acquired local competitor tianjin auto, which brought it the xiali small car brand and relationship with toyota. later on, faw formed another joint - venture with toyota to produce its cars in china. thanks to these foreign ventures, faw became the first chinese car maker to reach 1 million units of annual sales in 2004 .
come of faw car co. , the car unit of china faw group corp. , declined for the second consecutive year in 2015, plunging 65 percent year on year to 52. 9 million yuan ($ 8. 1 million) .
the company blamed the income slump on price wars on the domestic car market and a lack of competitive products .
last year, faw car sold roughly 235, 900 vehicles, a drop of 19. 6 percent from 2014 .
to shore up sales, the company offered steep price discounts for its products. as a result, the gross profit margin of its vehicles dipped 2. 28 percentage points to 18 percent, said faw car .

on dec. 11, 2013, faw - car purchasing partners conference was held in changchun, tagal was awarded ‘excellent supplier 2013’ for its outstanding contributions .
the key part of our strategy is “best product quality, best supply chain system, best evi technical service”. believed we will perform even better with our great efforts in 2014 .
we reported earlier on the upcoming hongqi c131. by that time the chinese press reported that the platform was independently developed by faw. we had our doubts, and that proves correct. chinese media now reports the c131 is actually based on an audi a6 platform .
vw / audi and faw have a joint venture, faw - volkswagen, they make they audi’s a4, a6 and q5 and a bunch of volkswagens. audi and hongqi go way back, audi supplied platforms for hongqi since the early 80’s. see here, here and here for some examples. hongqi later did it with ford for awhile but that relationship soon brook down. hongqi then tried toyota but that love produced only one baby, the crown - based hq3. back again now with audi for the new mid - sized hongqi limosine, a big sedan is on its way as well…
faw easily has enough money to develop their own platforms, they just don’t wanna do it because it takes time. faw, and other chinese automakers, think it is much easier to use some old platforms, change the headlights and start making money immediately. fine for tomorrow and next week but deadly in the long run…
the u. s. ’s leadership of the world car market has finally come to an end. china is now where the action is, like it or not .
just one generation ago, when hard - line maoist communism was the reality, individual mobility in china meant grabbing a bike and pedaling. now the roads are crammed with cars, even though less than three percent of the 1. 3 billion chinese own their own vehicles .
the chinese market is growing at an astonishing pace. from producing 30, 000 passenger cars 20 years ago, production has risen to an estimated 8. 3 million passenger cars in 2009; total sales (including trucks, cars, and commercial vehicles) were expected to reach 12. 6 million, which would make china the world’s largest automotive market. and this ferocious growth is not over: shanghai - based analyst jochen siebert expects passenger - car production to grow to 9. 5 million by 2012, with sales reaching 14 million units .
from 2001 to 2005, china built 15, 350 miles of expressway, which now totals 25, 480 miles. the u. s. has more than 46, 000 miles of interstate, but by 2020, china may top that .
foreign carmakers looking for a piece of the chinese pie must tread very carefully. the government requires those companies to team up with a chinese partner. the first western carmaker to gain a substantial foothold was volks­wagen in the 1980s, partnering with shanghai automotive industry corporation (saic). the vw santana, which we knew as the quantum 25 years ago, is still sold in the people’s republic. gm’s buick brand, a popular car with the chinese elite before mao’s emergence, sells more cars in china than in its homeland .
these alliances carry enormous cultural and corporate baggage. despite having a partnership with vw, saic - vw and faw - vw don’t seem to trust each other enough to put together a common purchasing policy; vw has a common purchasing policy for all of its other brands throughout the world .
another issue is that intellectual property rights in china are not always respected, resulting in copycat products .
here’s a look at the current players in china, and what they bring to the game .
byd: a battery maker in shenzhen called byd —its marketing office says it stands for “build your dreams”—has thrown itself into carmaking in a big way. “boundless optimism” might be a more appropriate company name: byd says its goal is to become the world’s biggest carmaker by 2025 .
even with some rather pedestrian offerings, including clones of gm daewoo and toyota vehicles, sales grew massively, from 20, 000 units in 2005 to more than 300, 000 in 2009. the most curious offering is called the “s8, ” a retractable - hardtop convertible that blends the look of the mercedes - benz clk with that of the renault mégane. the company is now concentrating on making hybrids and fully electric vehicles and claims its upcoming electric e6 minivan will have a range of 250 miles. to achieve that range, the e6 carries a battery pack that weighs 1200 pounds .
chery: if there’s a chinese carmaker that’s been underestimated, it’s chery. many china - car watchers know the “qq, ” a blatant copy of the diminutive daewoo matiz, as well as the company’s eastar, which looks suspiciously like the gm daewoo leganza / suzuki verona. this so irritated the usually placid gm that it sued. in its defense, chery claimed to have a contract with daewoo to build the two cars but still has not produced a document to support that claim. the chinese courts didn’t appear to care, and daewoo owner gm lost. chery is also the brand that malcolm bricklin tried to bring to the states, and when that didn’t work out, he sued for $ 14 billion. today, the company is working to transform its lineup and expand its brands by launching a premium brand dubbed xuan yuan. the first xuan yuan model is slated to be a luxury sedan with a chery - developed 3. 0 - liter v - 6 and 4. 2 - liter v - 8. a cooperative agreement with fiat, however, got off on the wrong foot: fiat wanted to build the alfa romeo 159 in china, but chery said no thanks, citing the alfa’s inferior technology .
geely: some chinese automakers make it hard to be taken seriously. geely, for example. it makes a car called the beauty leopard. still, this former producer of scooters and refrigerators has become the biggest privately owned carmaker in china. so far, the growth has come from its own vehicles, many of them “inspired” by western and japanese models. geely plans to grow through acquisitions. first, the firm acquired a share in manganese bronze, makers of the classic london taxi and—perhaps to the sniggering of its rivals—announced that a luxury car would emerge from that platform. geely’s next move might not be as funny: it is working on taking over volvo and has ambitious plans for the swedish brand .
saic: the largest of the chinese carmakers, saic has had a working relationship with both vw and gm and, as a result, has learned much about making cars. in late 2004, saic bought the rights to build several rover models but not the rights to the rover name. as a result, saic’s version of the rover 75 became the amusingly named “roewe 750. ” but no one’s laughing now. the new roewe 550 and 350 models, developed with the help of engineering firm ricardo, are easily the most advanced indigenous vehicles in the chinese market. what’s more, they’re not just copies of western products any longer; they have distinctive styling and engineering aimed at worldwide markets. the 550 may be sold in europe as a ssangyong, a korean brand owned by saic. saic is expected to sell 2. 65 million cars in 2009, making it the eighth - largest automaker in the world.
