It is rumored that SAIC has indeed acquired the Rover name from BMW and that they will be putting it on the Rover 25 and stretched Rover 75 models that they own rights and some tooling for. In fact, they already have a 75 prototype running around.
It is also speculated that they plan to produce some of the cars in the UK like NAC with MG.

It looks like SAIC will have Rover and NAC will have MG. NAC has the tooling for the "regular" R75/MGZT while SAIC has tooling for a long-wheelbase R75 and the blueprints/IP rights for the Rover 25. The R25 will probably be produced by both, but NAC/MG will call it MGZR, or a new MG name.
Hope I haven't just confused you more!

ADMIN, how about a forum for Dongfeng ? It's a huge car company with many joint-ventures like Dongfeng-Citroen-Peugeot, Dongfeng-Nissan, Dongfeng-Honda, Dongfeng-Xinjiang (pick-ups, trucks), Dongfeng-Electric (electric cars, buses) etc.

My friends,I know a small company in my city.

The name is zhongneng

by the looks of the site, i think zhongneng is owned by FAW :rolleyes:

Zhongneng, aka Bengneng, is a Taizhou motorcycle maker that also assembles vehicles using the ubiquitous Fudi-supplied SUV and pick up bodies.

You are right M14, Zhongneng is affiliated with FAW's light duty truck factory
up in Harbin that makes similar SUV's and pickups.

In June the Shanghai Daily said that sales of SUVs dropped 40 percent to 186,000 units in April from a month earlier, and fell further to 163,000 units in May and so It will be interesting to see just how long these small factories can remain profitable.

What's more there are restrictions on the use of pickups in some urban areas. But it seems like there should be a good market for them among increasingly prosperous farmers in the more western interior.

Please suggest them here in this thread
DADI is not a very famous car producer in China. But it is a shock that it join venture with LM Star to produce a petrol/hydrogen hybrid vehicles using water as source. The saving could be as high as 50%.

Could some one explain to me how the technology works.

Admin

welcome to China car forums AdamC,
and hydrogen hybrid cars are still far from hitting the market i think

The news were reported all over Malaysia newspapers on 16Aug 2006. The followings are some of the url and extracts from the Star newspaper.

The url is thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/16/nation/15151672&sec=nation
biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2006/8/16/business/15150663&sec=business

LM Star used technology sourced from Dadi Auto of China through a joint venture.
The cars, assembled locally by Johor-based LM Star Autoworld Sdn Bhd, offer 50% fuel savings with a new technology called hydroxene (processing canister where water is broken into hydrogen and oxygen) which was developed by a local scientist.

LM Star president Abdul Uza Sheikh Mohamad told a press conference that in the initial stage, two models using the hydroxene technology would be open for booking within 10 days.

“We expect the cars to be on the street within the next two months,” Abdul Uza said, adding that the seven-seater SUV LMG Tourer was priced at RM58,888 and the four-door crew-cab LMG Trekker at RM84,888. Both models come with 2.4-litre engines.

when they say they expect cars to be on streets in 2 months, they mean 2 years :rolleyes:

AdamC

The technology is rather exciting. Just add a RM 3000 gadget, then could save petrol up to 50%. Which I so far have not come across.

Since the LM Star president Adul Uza mentioned that the cars are open for booking within 10 days (starting 16Aug2006), and be on the road within two months, let wait and see.

I also quite amazed that a seven-seater 2.4 litre hybrid petrol SUV only selling for RM58,000, USD 16,000.

My friends. Be careful! I am seriously douting this technology! Several years ago, there was ever news in China concerning about the technology of water-converted-into-oil. But now there is not any futher news about it.

Dadi is a small SUV manufaturer. I don't think they have many advanced technology.

who knows about ShuangHuan manufacturer ? Is this automotive manufacturer well know in China market ? What about its quality reputation ?
I have read in this forum someone saying that Chile would not launch Chinese cars due to emissions homologation !!! Well, be informed that this ShuanHuan is about to be launched in Chile (entry level version's MSRP at $12,000 and fully eqipped version at $28,000).

In case someone has info about this company's reputation like quality, production capacity, etc, let us know. The ones who also never heard about it here you have the web page http://auto.sina.com.cn/salon/shuanghuanqc/shuanghuan.shtml

This is their homepage http://www.hbshauto.com/.

Yes, it is known by some people here in China. But not like how people know well with Chery, Brilliance, Geely, BYD, Greatwall.

Two cars from Shuanghuan are wellknown, SRV (Copying Hongda CRV) and SCEO (Exterior copied from BMX X5). SCEO looks better and attactive.

Zhongneng, being one of our main suppliers, and no doubt the most innovative makers of scooters in China, also makes the generic horrific sub-standard SUV's, of the type Go-Now makes. "Move over rover and let Hover take over" :lol: (with all due respect, of course...)

Shuanghuan (or "double circles", in English), make utter crap SUV's that talk the talk but don't walk the walk. It begins with taking off off two circles from the Audi logo, all too obvious. And continues with ripping off every part of the interior and exterior design, while mechanically using the same low end parts and engines to cut down price, sell fast and invest nearly $0 on R&D.

All too common Chinese story, unfortunately. This "SUV" is made for the local farmers in rural China who just won the lottery and have a spare $10,000, now looking for the "pu**y magnet", to complete their image. Pathetic...

How about a forum for JAC? JAC has now it's first sedan model and 'Refine' model is selling very well in it's class. JAC is also an important manufacturer of commercial vehicles.

i agree JAC is good but dont they do more commercial vans/trucks?

I think we should have a forum for Beijing based automanufacturers. These are eg. Beijing- Hyundai, Beijing-Benz, Beijing-Jeep and Beijing Auto (BAW).

dragin thanks!

i already talked to them a couple of weeks ago cuz i plan to purchase a couple of 3wheeler auto for my company. they cant speak english so that kinda made it hard for me to converse with them cuz my mandarin is very bad. good thing my partner from china was there to be my interpreter. this also left me with the impression that they might not be that experienced with international clients(btw im from the philippines). Is Jindalu a credible company?

dragin

08-13-2008, 05:09 PM

It seems that Zap is a long time customer so they should know someone there who can communicate in English well.
You might want to contact Zap to see if they can direct you to the right Jindalu trade rep. Zap shouldn't be reluctant to help, since afterall you are not a competitor in their market.
