Which country does Haima Auto belong to?
2 Answers
Haima Auto is a Chinese independent brand. Its predecessor was Hainan Mazda, a Sino-Japanese joint venture brand. Here is more information about Haima Auto: 1. In 1988, Haima established its factory in Haikou City, Hainan Province. The logo of Haima Auto features an abstract eagle shape embedded in a circle symbolizing the sun, representing the rising sun and the soaring roc, which embodies the corporate image of Haima Auto striving for excellence and aspiring to soar. 2. On February 27, 2016, Haima Auto announced that its subsidiary, Haima Automobile Co., Ltd., had changed its name to Haima Auto Co., Ltd., marking the relocation of Haima Auto's headquarters from Haikou to Zhengzhou. With the relocation of the headquarters, Haima Auto's strategic focus has begun to shift to Zhengzhou.
Haima is a homegrown Chinese automotive brand that I've been closely following in the development of domestic vehicles. Headquartered in Haikou City, Hainan Province, it was established in 1992 as an automaker. In its early days, Haima collaborated with Japan's Mazda to produce certain models, much like many Chinese car brands relied on technology transfers during their initial stages. Later, Haima developed independently, manufacturing sedans and SUVs with a focus on affordability, achieving considerable popularity in China's second- and third-tier cities. As an auto enthusiast, I believe Haima's evolution mirrors the rise of China's automotive industry—progressing from cooperative ventures to independent innovation, now competing alongside major brands like Geely and BYD. Hainan Island's advantageous geographic location has also been instrumental, with coastal access facilitating exports and recent attempts to expand into Southeast Asian markets. Overall, it's authentically Chinese-made.
