| The
ongoing fourth annual China Automotive Industry Forum held by China Europe International
Business School, features a diverse collection of speakers from government, industry
and private-interest groups.
The eclectic mix has resulted in a degree
of thematic overlap with auto exports, energy savings and innovation topping the
list of discussions.
For many independent Chinese auto makers, exports
are an attractive sector and many domestic producers have continuously tested
the waters in overseas markets in recent years. Despite the difficult conditions
in the global market, the steady growth in exports is obvious, according to statistics
revealed at the two-day forum that finishes today.
Xu Changming, the
Information Department of State Information Center's director, revealed the monthly
export quantity in August reached 42,183 units. The annual export quantity was
forecast around 350,000 units.
The figure is forecast to hit 500,000
next year.
"The total export quantity of China's vehicles has continued
to boom in the past four years. This will definitely continue," he said.
"With
deepening globalization, automotive management and auto-parts purchasing, the
technology is developing quickly. It is enhancing the steps for the progress of
the export market," Li said.
