Are the Engines of Joint Venture Cars All Imported?

[MacAmy]

The engines of joint venture cars are not necessarily imported. With the improvement of domestic manufacturing technology, even luxury car brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, and Jaguar Land Rover have embarked on the path of localization, achieving domestic production of engines and transmissions. Original imported or purely imported engines are becoming increasingly rare, and domestically produced ones are not inferior. More details are as follows: 1. The engines used in joint venture cars mainly depend on the vehicle's positioning strategy and cost considerations. Some engines are original imports, but they account for a relatively small proportion. Most involve importing original parts for domestic processing and assembly, with the final step being local procurement of joint venture brand engines. 2. Currently, domestic parts manufacturers can meet the production needs of most joint venture cars. However, for core components, joint venture companies still prefer to import parts from abroad, as it is both convenient and cost-effective.
