Chery driving out Anhui province with new factory in Dalian
The Chinese upstart automaker, Chery, is planning to build its first factory outside of Anhui province in Dalian, Liaoning Province.
The factory is the product of a 4.7 billion RMB investment in the Dalian special trade zone and is also built on reclaimed land. Dalian City recently listed the automobile industry as a pillar of economic growth for the regional economy, and has done well to secure Chery’s investment, car parts manufacturers are expected to make the move to Dalian over the coming months as Chery gears up for production in June 2011.
The car plant is based over 20,000 square meters and will be able to produce 200,000 cars per year for both domestic and export sales. Chery currently has 11 plants around the world, but all of the Chinese factories are based around Wuhu, Chery’s hometown in the southern province of Anhui.

There has long been a scramble for locating in this strategic international port. It is part of Chery’s export strategy. It makes easy the export to the Koreas, Russia, Japan and beyond.

Thats one helleva big factory!! Some typical Chinese numerical problems showing here????
Isnt Wuxi in Jiangsu province?
You can do better than this CCT , cant you?
Crikey – that should have been Wuhu.
And the factory size? If you consider that 20,000 square kilometers equals 8000 square miles or 5120000 acres or 31079857 Chinese Mu (approx) and that New York City for example is only 305 square miles or 790square kilometers or 118500 Chinese Mu then you have either one helleva big ginormous factory or an equally big mistake???
Wuhu = buhu?
Updated especially for you
How long is a “kiliometer”?
I hope it’s nearer to a meter than a kilometer, if not the factory will cover the whole of Dalian and a few neighboring towns as well!!!
Where did you “kilometers”? In the article it says “The car plant is based over 20,000 square meters” That is at least a thousand times smaller.
