With completion of the purchase, SAIC will reportedly begin substantial assets restructuring. First it will turn Nanjing Fiat, a subsidiary company of Nanjing Automobile, into a new production base for Shanghai Volkswagen (SVW), a SAIC company.
SAIC is planning to spend CNY8bn in Nanjing Automobile in the coming three years, lifting its yearly output to 300,000 units, three times its current production capacity.
Nanjing Fiat will serve as Shanghai Volkswagen’s Nanjing plant: Shanghai Volkswagen Najing Production Base.
The new production base will be operational in mid-2008 and is expected to roll out 60,000 units this year. And it aims to boost its production capacity to 100,000 by 2010.
