Wen Xiande, who was in Sao Paulo representing Chery at a meeting of business people from both countries, said that initially kits imported from China would be assembled in Brazil. Having started its business by producing spare parts, Chery began producing cars in 2001 and currently has a 7 percent share of the Chinese market with the nine models it produces. The factory, located in Anhui some100 kilometers from Beijing, produced 186,000 units in 2005 and this year is expected to produce around double that. Company forecasts point to a production of 500,000 units in 2008 and 1 million two years later. (macauhub)
