BAIC's Gqeberha plant to reach full capacity, enabling wider African market access and supporting China's Belt and Road Initiative.With the Beijing Automotive Industry Cooperation gearing up for the grand launch next year of its new BJ30 SUV in South Africa, company vice-president and chair of BAIC Automotive SA Propriety Limited Wang Jianhui is confident about plans for its Gqeberha plant coming into fruition.
Asked whether the African vehicle market had preference design requirements to enhance growth, Wang said: “Guided by the analysis of the African market, we see a potential development in terms of the continent’s population of about 1.5 billion people.“We currently have a total market reservation of 40 million vehicles in Africa, something which has created a gap for BAIC to go on a developmental drive.
“We do feasibility studies and research before coming up with a suitable product, to satisfy customer needs in the market.“In the South African situation, we have finished working on plans, having finished the required screening processes.
