Harbin Light Car Company Relocates Together with U.S. General Motors to Produce Light Commercial Vehicles
The reporter recently learned from the Harbin Light Duty Vehicle Depot of FAW Group, now rebranded as FAW Group Harbin Light Vehicle Co., Ltd., that this major automobile manufacturer in Harbin is launching its largest technological upgrade and relocation project since its establishment. The company is moving to the Harbin Development Zone, where it will strengthen its collaboration with General Motors, the world's leading automotive manufacturer.
Harbin Light Vehicle Co., Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China FAW Group, originally founded as the state-owned Starlight Machine Factory. It currently produces small trucks and pickup models, with an annual output of 30,000 units. To further enhance its position in the local market, FAW Group and the city of Harbin have jointly decided to relocate and expand the facility. With the first phase of the project, the annual production capacity is expected to reach 100,000 units, attracting more international partners and strengthening cooperation with global automakers.
This move has caught the attention of General Motors, which is now considering Harbin Light Vehicle as a key partner for commercial vehicle production. GM has expressed strong interest in working closely with FAW Group and is actively exploring opportunities for joint ventures. Recently, Gan Wenwei, President of U.S. General Motors China Investment Co., Ltd., visited Kazakhstan and met with officials from Heilongjiang Province and representatives from Ha Deguang Depot. He emphasized his confidence in the project and pledged to take concrete steps to advance the cooperation between GM and FAW, contributing to the growth of the automotive industry in the region.
Gan also revealed that GM (China) and FAW are planning to establish a joint venture focused on developing competitive light commercial vehicles. Harbin Light Vehicle will play a central role in this partnership. Both companies are making significant progress, and the joint venture is now entering a substantive development stage, aiming to become a leader in the domestic commercial vehicle market within a short timeframe.
A representative from Harbin Light Vehicle Co., Ltd. stated that this relocation and transformation is a crucial strategy for the company to navigate the financial crisis and has been officially included in Harbin’s "Project Construction Year" initiative. While expanding its cooperation with GM, the company is also investing in the development of new self-branded models to ensure long-term sustainable growth. This strategic shift reflects the company’s commitment to innovation and competitiveness in an ever-evolving automotive landscape.
