Zhou Langhui, a SAIC vice president, told AFX that SAIC Motor hopes to boost the combined China market share of its car lineup, which includes MG, Roewe and Ssangyong, to 5% by 2010 and 8% by 2015.
SAIC Motor also plans to invest CNY32.8bn in developing its own cars, including CNY19bn for capacity expansion, CNY2.8bn for technology centers and CNY11bn for product development, said Zhou.
