After the product's offline date was pushed back, Daimler, Taiwan's China Motors and Fuzhou Group's Fuzhou light commercial vehicle joint venture project finally obtained a permit to work.

With the joy of "birth permit" and the market's failure, the United States Department of Justice has revealed that Daimler was involved in bribery in China and became the focus of public opinion. Last week, Daimler’s relevant person in China told this newspaper that “(to Daimler’s alleged bribery in China) it is still inconvenient to comment!”

The light commercial vehicle was granted a permit

Last week, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the list of new vehicle manufacturers to be released in the 211th batch of "Vehicle Production Enterprises and Products Announcements" to include Fujian Daimler Automotive Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Fujian Daimler"). Although the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued an announcement this time, Fujian Daimler is still in the “publicity” stage. However, according to the usual practice, "publicity" means that Fujian Daimler has obtained a production license. Last week, relevant persons from Fujian Daimler also stated that after obtaining the permit, the company has already started the subsequent new car release and listing. Even as early as the beginning of this month, the company’s products, the Vito and Viano series of multi-functional light commercial vehicles, had already been distributed to more than 30 dealers nationwide.

In May 2001, the Fujian Daimler project signed a joint venture intention between the Chinese and foreign parties. In May 2007, a joint venture company was formally established. The project has a total investment of 249 million euros and a registered capital of 160 million euros. The shareholders are Fuqi Group and Daimler Light Vehicles (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. The two parties each hold 50% of the shares, while the Daimler Group and Taiwan Zhonghua Motor, which make up Daimler Light Vehicles (Hong Kong) Limited, each holds The joint venture project has 34% and 16% of the shares. According to the plan, the annual production capacity of the joint venture project is 40,000 units, and the products are the "Civil" brand N CV 2 (ie "Wei Wei") and N CV 3 ("Wei Ling") series of multi-function light vehicles, and the chairman of the joint venture company. Fu Qiang, chairman of Fuqi Road.

In August 2007, the Daimler production base in Fujian was under construction. According to the plan, the first product, the N CV 2, will be put into production in August of last year. However, due to the persistence permit, the time for the product to go offline was delayed. At the end of last year, Sun Chunlan, secretary of Fujian's new provincial party committee, revealed during the inspection of Daimler in Fujian that in order to help Fujian Daimler get a birth permit as soon as possible, Huang Xiaojing, governor of Fujian Province, personally went to Beijing to work on the relevant ministries and commissions.

Will invest 500 million yuan to establish R & D center

Last week, it was reported that the reason why Fujian Daimler had been unable to obtain the product "sale permit" was because the product's localization rate was too low and it had not invested capital to establish an independent research and development center. However, at present, after consultation with relevant state agencies, the above two issues have been resolved. For the problem of low localization rate, Fujian Daimler has set up an assembly plant in Fuzhou. For the R&D center, Fujian Daimler will invest 500 million yuan to establish an R&D center in accordance with the automobile industry policy. At the end of November last year, Lai Ruining, the new general manager of Fujian Daimler, revealed that “in order to ensure the initial production quality, 60% of Fujian Daimler parts are imported and 40% are purchased locally in China!” reporter Zhu Zhongqi
