2009 was an important year for the China automotive industry. This was the year that China exceeds the United States and Japan in becoming the top car manufacturer by production volume. 2010 saw China produce just under 14m units, a 33% increase from 2009 and therefore consolidating its position as the world’s largest automotive manufacturer.
