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.[3]In May 2018, SAIC Volkswagen started to export theSantana,Lavida,Lamando,andTiguanto thePhilippinesas part of the newASEAN-China Free Trade Agreement (ACFTA).The joint venture was also in the process of building an electric-car plant in Anting, nearShanghaiby late 2018; it was expected to make 300,000 e-vehicles per year, starting in 2020.<ref2 ">https://global.handelsblatt /companies/vw-revamps-production-electric-age-981646[dead link‍]</ref>

Ltd, established on 19 October 2000, as the first joint venture in vehicle sales in China.[6]
