Where are all the Chinese cars built?

[dmitra]

"Of course in China, moron."

No, well...what I shall attempt to do in this thread is list all the current (and new) plants in China where cars are manufactured by the licensed manufacturers. There will be one post that will be updated on an ongoing basis. This will be a "sticky" thread. You can post corrections or updates in replies. I don't think there is any public-domain resource (only paid sites maybe, like MarkLines) which lists this information in English.

I will not name models manufactured in the plants because models may be rotated between plants, and that is difficult to track continuously. I will limit myself to plants making cars, SUVs, MPV, minivans (and maybe pickups). Others interested in CVs are welcome to explore and post bus and truck factories.

I will use mainly MIIT records and other publicly available sources like news articles or company-published material for the information. The list will be slowly built up, and not in one day. I will not include LSEV manufacturers initially, as their claims are difficult to verify, and maybe later include some of the bigger ones.

Transferred to an online PDF as post was getting unwieldy.

Regarding BYD:
I read that from 2014 a plant in Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province, launched production of K-series and T-Series electric buses.
And from April 2015 plant construction began in Baotou, Inner Mongolia, for special-purpose & mining NEVs.
I'm sorry I don't have details about these plants.

Regarding Brilliance:
Shineray Chongqing Automobile Co.,Ltd:
Plant No. 2 is located at :
No. 17 E. Chaoyang Road, High & New Technology Zone, Mianyang, Sichuan 621000
and:
Brilliance engine subsidiary:
Xinchen China Power Holdings, Ltd :
Science and Technology City, Jianmenlu West No.228, Mianyang, Sichuan 621000

Thanks for the info!

The Mianyang Huarui plant (at #3 above) is the same one at No. 17 Chaoyang E. Road. "Gaoxin qu" translated as "High-Tech Zone" in Google, whereas you wrote it as High & New Technology Zone. No Shineray products are currently made there.

P.S: I am not putting in entire addresses in my list (though it might reduce confusion) because large complexes usually have more than one street or premises no. associated with it, which might appear to be like two or more plants. I am also checking maps to see if multiple addresses actually refer to one complex.
