Is Trumpchi a Domestic or Joint Venture Brand?

[McJayden]

Trumpchi is a domestic car brand, independently developed by GAC, but at least 40% of its components come from renowned international parts suppliers. Introduction to Joint Venture Cars: As the name suggests, joint venture cars are projects jointly established by Chinese and foreign investors. The Chinese side contributes by providing land and factory usage rights, as well as capital, while the foreign investors contribute the brand, technology, capital, talent, etc. Joint venture cars are the products of such collaborations. Foreign partners provide technology, talent, and brands for domestic assembly, but the core technologies remain under foreign control. Reasons Why Joint Venture Cars Are Expensive: Joint venture cars are expensive due to intellectual property issues. The cooperation between Chinese and foreign automakers is characterized by low interdependence. Generally, Chinese manufacturers learn more about assembly techniques, corporate culture, and internal management from foreign automakers, but the core technologies of car engines and transmissions, which are crucial to understand, are often imported from abroad. The technologies sold to China are typically 10 to 20 years behind.
