Four Chinese automakers interested in Camaçari

As is already known, the government of Bahia is already looking for interested parties in the Ford plant in Camaçari, which closed with the units in Taubaté-SP and Horizonte-CE, although the latter closes its doors only in the fourth quarter.

But, according to CNN Brazil, there are already four Chinese automakers interested in Ford’s car and motor plant, namely Great Wall Motors, Changan Auto, Geely and GAC.

The website also reports that businessman Carlos Alberto de Oliveira Andrade, CAOA, would be behind one of them. From what is known previously, Changan became involved with the Brazilian businessman in the business related to the Taboão factory, in ABC São Paulo, which ended up being sold to a real estate group.

All of the aforementioned manufacturers have international interests and Great Wall Motors may try to enter Brazil a third time. In the first, in 2008, he even showed some cars around here, but the operation did not work out. Later, he wanted to settle in São Paulo and even had a national website, but without success.

Changan Auto has a connection with Ford, which is indirectly responsible for the production of the Territory, although it is also responsible for Peugeot Landtrek.

The manufacturer already operates in the Latin American market and also tried to enter Brazil, through the defunct Districar group. The Chinese brand has very competitive products in neighboring countries and can be an important player here.

Geely is already making great strides in the international market, owning Volvo and Lotus. Here, it would be interesting to enter the Lynk & Co brand, with a new proposal for the sale of cars by subscription and also without a dealer network, with delivery and services contracted online.

Finally, GAC (Guangzhou Auto) has alliances with several manufacturers in China, but currently the brand stands out for its range of attractively designed electric cars, such as the Aion models.
