Xu also said the company was in talks to buy some overseas auto parts assets, but he did not give any details.
BAIC, previously called Beijing Automotive Industry Holding, is the Chinese partner of Daimler and Hyundai Motor.
Geely, the owner of Volvo cars, denied a Swedish media report that it planned to seek ownership of struggling Saab which is in desperate need of money under a court-backed restructuring under creditor protection.
The company applied to the courts for creditor protection in August when it was unable to pay workers.
Market rumors have circulated that BAIC might been interested in bailing out the struggling Swedish car maker due to its earlier purchase of the platforms.
