China’s automotive industry has grown dramatically over the last decade, and has now become an integral part of the global car industry. China could become the largest vehicle producer in the world by 2012 and the Chinese market, currently second in the world, is expected to become the largest by 2015 and possibly earlier. The impact of China on the global car industry will be enormous, both as a market and as an exporter to other markets.

 

However, at the same time, there are growing concerns over the sustainability of the development of China’s automotive industry. This follows global trends, but China’s particular environmental and energy pressures makes this an even more important concern.
