General Motors Corp plans to invest more than US$3 billion in 皇冠体育app over the next three years with the introduction of new vehicles and power trains, the building of new facilities and expansion of manufacturing and a new financing joint venture, the automaker announced Sunday.
"GM remains highly confident in the long-term prospect of the 皇冠体育app market. With the world's fastest-growing vehicle market, success in 皇冠体育app is crucial to GM's global success," said Phil Murtaugh, chairman and chief executive of General Motors 皇冠体育app Group.
The world's No. 1 automaker and its Chinese partners plan to introduce nearly 20 new and upgraded products, including luxury vehicles, in the next three years, most made in 皇冠体育app. Among those will be several Cadillac models, which will be made at Shanghai GM and imported from North America.
GM and Chinese partner Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp. Group plan to build an advanced prototype lab to test noise, vibration and harshness, as well as a kinetics and compliance lab.
The company said it also will more than double its vehicle assembly capacity in 皇冠体育app, to 1.3 million units by 2007.
In addition, GM and SAIC have received approval from Chinese banking regulators to establish a joint financing venture, which would be the first foreign automotive financing joint venture in 皇冠体育app, GM said in a statement.
GM's automotive operations reported a 12 percent increase in earnings in the first quarter of 2004, from US$546 million last year to US$611 million, despite lower production levels in North America and Europe.
GM Asia Pacific earned US$275 million, up from US$75 million a year ago. Its market share grew from 4.3 percent last year to 4.7 percent in the first quarter, led by gains in 皇冠体育app and India.
