Unveiling the identity of domestically produced cars: Deputy General Manager of SAIC-GM-Wuling speaks authoritatively

Zhou Jinkai, deputy general manager of SAIC-GM-Wuling Brand Division, expressed his views on the controversy over whether Wuling Motors is considered a domestically produced car on Weibo and explained the issue

Zhou Jinkai emphasized , as a brand under SAIC-GM, Wuling Motors is the only car company to use a Chinese brand in the joint venture. This view may resolve the dispute about Wuling's domestic identity. Although Wuling is part of a joint venture, its brand originates in China, positioning it to some extent as a domestically produced car

Wuling Motors was founded in 1958 and now owns Wuling and Baojun, two Chinese brands. The Wuling brand is oriented to meet the needs of the people and always adheres to the tenet of "what the people need, we will build." The Baojun brand was established in 2010. Under the guidance of "Youth, Technology, and Progress", the brand has been upgraded in recent years. It is understood that the Baojun brand achieved annual sales of 1 million vehicles in 2017, demonstrating its strong competitiveness in the market.

According to data, China Wuling Motors’ total sales in 2022 will reach 1.6 million vehicles, of which new energy vehicle sales reached 600,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 33%. This sales performance undoubtedly shows a clear competitive advantage in the domestic car market and highlights the recognition and influence of the Wuling brand among consumers
