SAIC Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd.,formerly known asShanghai Volkswagen Automotive Co., Ltd.is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered inAnting, Shanghai,China and ajoint venturebetweenSAIC MotorandVolkswagen Group.It was founded in 1984 and produces cars under theVolkswagen,ŠkodaandAudimarques.[1]It is the second automobile manufacturing joint venture in China after American Motors and the first German car manufacturer to enter China.

The joint venture is made up of equity from SAIC Motor (50%), Volkswagen AG (40%), Volkswagen (China) Invest (10%), with a fixed-term venture for 45 years up until 2030.[2]It is the first of three joint ventures operated by Volkswagen in China, alongsideFAW-VolkswagenwithFAW GroupandVolkswagen AnhuiwithJAC Group.

History

edit

The joint venture was formed in October 1984, as Shanghai Volkswagen. This was a 25-year contract to make passenger cars in Shanghai with a limit of 50 percent foreign ownership.[3]Shanghai Volkswagen began automobile production in 1985. As car imports fell to some 34,000 in 1990, SAIC Volkswagen's production of itsSantanamodels reached nearly 19,000 vehicles that year. By 1993 SAIC Volkswagen's output had reached 100,000 vehicles.[4]

Volkswagen was aided by some Shanghai municipal efforts. Various restrictions on engine size, as well as incentives to city taxi companies, helped ensure a safe market in the company's relatively wealthy home arena. The Shanghai plant was by far the winner among all new JVs, as it produced cars that could function as taxis, vehicles for government officials and transport for the newly emerging business elite. Volkswagen also encouraged its foreign parts suppliers to create joint ventures in China, and their resulting product helped SAIC Volkswagen achieve an 85 per cent local content rate by 1993.[5]

On 12 April 2002, SAIC Motor renewed its contract with Volkswagen and extended the term of cooperation for another 20 years.Chinese Communist Partyformergeneral secretaryJiang Zeminattended the signature ceremony.[6]Shanghai Volkswagen Sales Co. Ltd, established on 19 October 2000, as the first joint venture in vehicle sales in China.[7]

On 11 April 2005, the Czech automotive brandŠkoda Autowas introduced after signing a contract. The first model for the brand was theŠkoda Octaviabuilt by Shanghai Volkswagen and commenced production on June 6, 2007. This followed with theŠkoda Fabiain December 2008, theSuperbin August 2009, theŠkoda Rapidin April 2013 and the long wheelbaseŠkoda Yetiseven months later.[8]

In September 2011 SAIC-VW announced the new Tantus brand (Tianyue in Chinese). The Tantus EV which appeared in a few low-resolution images is an EV Based on the VW Lavida. The SAIC-VW Lavida is of course technically identical to the FAW-VW Bora. So it’s no surprise that the Tantus and the Carely are exactly the same car. After some talk about production, the brand is silently killed off without any cars ever sold.[9]

To complete the model lineup for the Chinese market, theŠkoda Kodiaqwas officially listed in March 2017, followed by theŠkoda Karoqin January 2018 and the Chinese builtŠkoda Kamiqsix months later.

SAIC Volkswagen started vehicle export shipments in January 2018 which targets left-hand drive Southeast Asian markets.[10][11]Prior to this, the company briefly exported several hundred Volkswagen Polo Sedan to Australia in 2004.[12][13][14]
