Beijing Hyundai Motor Co Ltd is an automobile manufacturing company headquartered in Beijing, China, and is a 50:50 joint-venture between Beijing Automotive Group and Hyundai Motor Company. Established in 2002, it manufactures in Shunyi District, a satellite city of Beijing,[1] producing Hyundai-branded automobiles for the Chinese market.
2010 saw the company sell 700,000 vehicles.[2] Were it not a subsidiary such sales figures would have placed it as the sixth or seventh most-productive Chinese automaker. It did make the third most-purchased model in 2010 in China, the Elantra.[3]
History
The company may initially have imported components rather than relying on local suppliers.[4]
Products
At least four Hyundai models have been solely sold on the Chinese market. These comprise: BT01, indigenously designed; Lingxiang (Chinese: 领翔), an interior-and-feature localized Sonata NF; Elantra Yuedong, a localized version of the Elantra; and Verna, a city car.[5] All are tailored to Chinese tastes. The 5th generation Elantra is sold in China as an Elantra Langdong.[6]
Shouwang brand
Cheaper[7] products may be sold under a new, China-only brand name, Shouwang.[8] Its first offering is purportedly based on an older Hyundai Elantra.[9] And while a concept vehicle was shown at car shows in China in 2011 and 2012, the brand does not appear to have been launched.[10]
Production bases and facilities
As of 2009, the company has at least three production bases as well as an R&D center, all of which are probably in the Linhe Industrial Development Zone of the Shunyi District, a satellite city of Beijing.[11] Two of these produce automobiles and the other, engines.[11]
Its first automobile production base was completed in 2003 and the second in April 2008.[12] Construction on a third Beijing base begun in late 2010 should be complete in the second half of 2012.[13] At least one of these facilities is 17 km from Shunyi Yangzhen.[14]
