I believe that all the small SUV makers in China are on a dead end.
Big SUV makers (Great Wall, Landwind, Nissan-Zhengzhou...) are getting really agressive. Small manufacturer's product are outdated and they can't match the leaders.
Gonow and ChangFeng were saved by GAQ. It seems that ZX Auto, after a failed deal with ChangAn, doesn't interest anybody.
Poland company have some work with ZX Auto, they even produce it there:
Production of ZX Grandtigers started in the former trucks factory in Lublin. Pol-Mot Warfama, the official producer of Chinese pickups announced that the first batch of twenty cars will assemble by the turn of the year - according to Kurier Lubelski. ZX Grandtiger will compete mainly with Tata and Isuzu, which were designed primarily for hard work in the accidental terrain. The producer ensures that the service network cover whole Poland.
"We are going to make an official Grand Tiger’s presentation after one month - said Mariusz Lewandowski, a Pol-Mot Warfama spokesman. We predict the basis version of Grand Tiger will cost around $60,000 with tax. This car is destined for agriculture, sanitation department or service companies as a workhorse" - Lewandowski explained.
The company has European homologation and a special agreement with Chinese maker more than a year. The most important is fact that the license agreement gives polish company exclusive rights to sell Chinese pickup not only in Poland, but also in other EU markets.
Warfama employs thirty workers in Lublin at present and also has plan to start produce Turkish tractors with 150 hp engine and it's going to employ another workers in future.
