Chinese automaker promised to enter US market in 2019

Beijing. January 16. Silkroadnews - The Chinese automaker has promised to enter the US market in 2019, the VOA News reported.
“A Chinese automaker is turning its attention west, vowing to sell cars to Americans by the fourth quarter of 2019. GAC Motor on Monday unveiled two models at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit: a concept gull-wing compact electric SUV called the Enverge and a GA4 midsize sedan that will go on sale in China later this year. Exactly how or when Chinese cars will enter the U.S. market is a puzzle,” the report said.
GAC reported, it was negotiating with Fiat Chrysler partner about possible cars sales. The company said that it already has two research centers and a design center in the U.S.
Davis Cole, an industry expert and chairman of the AutoHarvest Foundation in Detroit, said the Americans are ready for the Chinese-made cars. He noted, General Motors already sells in the United States its Buick Envision manufactured in China.
He said that initially the quality of Chinese cars was not as high as Americans expected, but it was constantly improving and in the near future there will probably be no differences in quality between Chinese and American cars.
“If the U.S. automakers want to keep their status and edge in the industry, they have no choice but to work “with all these emerging markets so that you’re not just looking at a competitor but a partner”,” the agency quoted him saying.
With this the publication notes a curious fact: GAC sells its vehicles in China under the name Trumpchi, which just adds to the crisis of US-China relations in the field of trade.
Trumpchi is already popular in China. In 2017, GAC sold 500,000 cars, which is 37% more than a year earlier.
The company said this name has nothing to do with the U.S. President Donald Trump and has been using by GAC since 2010.
