The two manufacturers produce cars with engine sizes ranging from 800 to 1300cc
which would sell in Indonesia for between 43 million and 45 million rupiahs
($US4,300 to $US4,500), about half the price of Japanese and European models
currently on sale.
The Chinese manufacturers are expected to use their price advantage to gain
market share, according to officials from the association of Indonesian car
makers. Chinese motorcycle makers took 25 percent of the market in 2000.
The chairman of the Indonesia Automobile Import Association said 700 Chinese
cars were about to go on sale.
Importers which used to sell Japanese and European brands also plan to import
cars from China in a bid to attract more customers, the China Automotive News
story said.
