Since Tesla established a production line in Shanghai, the pace of foreign auto companies entering the Chinese market has accelerated. Now, another production base of an imported car company wants to settle in China!
On November 28, the inauguration ceremony of Scania Rugao manufacturing base will be held in Rugao, Jiangsu. This is the in-depth cooperation between Scania, a well-known Swedish truck and bus manufacturer, and Rugao Economic and Technological Development Zone. It is not only a rare opportunity for Scania, but also a milestone for China's commercial vehicle industry.
As the sales volume of heavy trucks hits a new high in China, the attention and strategic position of the Chinese market in the global heavy truck market is increasing day by day, and imported truck manufacturers are also focusing more on China.
Previously, Gerard van Keulen, Managing Director of Scania China, said that China, as the world`s largest heavy-duty truck market, has developed very rapidly in economic, business, and emerging industries, which means Scania`s Asia has huge opportunities in China. With the liberalization of policies, it has become a reality for overseas companies to set up wholly-owned factories in China. Scania will not only establish a research and development center in China, but also locate its third production center in Asia.
