Guangdong Automotive Outbound Industry Cluster


Guangdong Automobile's Export-oriented Industry Group Published: 2004-3-9 Source: China Business Report Since last year, automobile exports have become a major selling point for domestic auto companies competing “broadcast”, but as many as 1,000 vehicles are needed It is difficult to talk about the substantial changes in the scale of exports. In contrast, the Guangdong automobile industry explores the development of export-oriented automobile projects in the fields of vehicles, parts, and special materials, and has the significance of experimental fields both in breadth and depth. On February 25, Guangzhou Toyota Engine Co., Ltd. laid the foundation stone in Nansha. The total investment of 2.2 billion yuan for the engine project starts at 300,000 units, 200,000 of which are for export. Correspondingly, the equity structure of this project has also broken through the relevant provisions of the national policy: Toyota holds 70% of shares, and Guangzhou Automobile Industry Group holds 30% of shares (National Automobile Industry Policy Regulations, in Automobiles and Key Component Projects, etc. Party's shareholding ratio should not exceed 50%. Obviously, 200,000 Taiwan's exports are the chips where Toyota can break policy restrictions. Guangzhou Toyota Engine Co., Ltd. is not the first domestic export-oriented automobile project, but it is the first export-oriented automobile engine project in China. It marks that the pace of Guangdong's development of export-oriented automobile manufacturing industry has been fully opened. . In addition to the engine, Guangdong auto manufacturing involves many links such as vehicles, other parts, and special raw materials. On May 29, 2003, Honda Automobile (China) Co., Ltd. was listed and laid the foundation in the Export Processing Zone of the Guangzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. The company will produce economical cars in the Guangzhou Export Processing Zone, with an annual production capacity of 50,000 vehicles. The medium and long-term planned annual output will be 240,000, and 100% of all products will be exported to foreign countries. In October last year, the Guangzhou Economic Commission and the Guangzhou Automotive Industry Association jointly held the Guangzhou Auto Parts Industry Information Exchange Conference. Ping Xinguang, director of the Economic Commission of Guangzhou City, said at the meeting that the goal of Guangzhou is to undertake the transfer of international auto parts production and strive to build a multinational company’s export production base in Guangzhou and to be a “global supplier” of auto parts. Since then, an upsurge in the development of the auto parts industry has started in the entire Pearl River Delta region. In terms of dedicated raw materials, Guangzhou JFE Steel Co., Ltd., a joint venture between Guangzhou Iron & Steel Enterprise Group and Japan's JFE Steel Corporation, the second largest steel group in the world, was formally listed at the beginning of this year. The company mainly produces high-precision hot-dip galvanized automotive steel plates that are not yet mass-produced by domestic companies. The first phase of the investment is about 200 million U.S. dollars, and the annual production capacity is 400,000 tons. In addition to domestic support, it will also be exported to Southeast Asia. Although the Government Work Report of Guangdong Province this year does not directly mention the development of export-oriented automobile industry, when it comes to industrial development, the “Report” has listed the automobile industry as the pillar industry of Guangdong Province for the first time; At the same time, the "Report" also emphasized the need to actively undertake the transfer of international industries and continue to implement the strategy of "going out." Shenzhen missed the previous round of opportunities and tried to directly place its foothold in the development of the auto industry on export vehicles. The newly elected mayor of Shenzhen City, Li Hongzhong, once stated that Shenzhen should use its own advantages, such as the large ports in southern China and the relatively plentiful fiscal position, to engage in export-oriented auto industry.
