What is the difference between Liuzhou Wuling and SAIC-GM-Wuling?
1 Answers
The difference between Liuzhou Wuling and SAIC-GM-Wuling lies in the fact that Liuzhou Wuling is a state-owned enterprise, while SAIC Wuling is a joint venture. Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. (referred to as Wuling Group) was established in 1996. It is a large state-owned sole proprietorship enterprise authorized by the Guangxi government. Wuling is the registered trademark and brand of Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd., and this logo has been fully authorized to SAIC-GM-Wuling. SAIC Wuling is a large Sino-foreign joint venture automobile company jointly established by Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (Group), General Motors (China) Investment Co., Ltd., and Liuzhou Wuling Automobile Co., Ltd. The purpose of the joint venture between Liuzhou Wuling Automobile and SAIC-GM is to obtain the qualification license for selling cars, but the trademarks of Wuling Motors and Baojun Motors belong to Liuzhou Wuling and are assets of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Although SAIC-GM-Wuling is a joint venture, it only sells the two Chinese-made car brands "Wuling" and "Baojun," and does not sell joint venture foreign brand cars, which is also different from other joint ventures. The cars it produces use Wuling's brand, SAIC's technology, and General Motors' engines, but when they are finally launched, they still bear the original factory logo of Liuzhou Wuling, so SAIC-GM-Wuling is actually a domestic independent brand.
