Auto industry drives past major milestone

By Gong Zhengzheng | China Daily | Updated: 2009-10-21 08:21

China's auto industry yesterday sped past an impressive milestone as the 10-millionth vehicle - a heavy-duty "Jiefang" truck - rolled off the production line.

The unit, which was produced at FAW Group Corp's factory in Changchun, made China the third country - after the United States and Japan - to produce 10 million vehicles this year. Auto output in both the US and Japan has geared down this year because of the global economic slowdown but, in China, the industry is booming.

Industry officials and executives attending the ceremony marking the milestone predicted that China will produce more than 12 million units in 2009, up from 9.35 million last year.
