Resilient Manufacturing Bolsters Up Economic Revival

His company, located at the Yangtze River Delta, is an automobile sales and service company affiliated to Shaanxi Automobile Holding Group Co., Ltd. (SHACMAN). Today, more than 50,000 heavy-duty trucks produced by SHACMAN operate in the Shanghai area, which is an important international gateway for foreign trade and one of the engines of China’s economy.

A Complete Industry Chain Approach

SHACMAN, headquartered in Shaanxi Province’s capital city of Xi’an, is a large-scale heavy-duty automobile manufacturing company in northwest China and one of the first Chinese companies dealing in export of complete vehicles and auto parts. It has factories in 13 countries with products sold to more than 100 countries and regions. Since SHACMAN restarted its operation on February 14, the factory’s production capacity has returned to normal.

The automotive industry has a long industry chain, which has been hit hard by the pandemic. Any hiccup of the industrial chain can trigger the suspension of the whole assembly line. Chairman of SHAC- MAN Yuan Hongming said, “Our current industrial layout has exempted us from reliance on foreign producers. Engines, gearboxes, axles, frames, and pilothouses are all produced in China.” The complete domestic industrial chain has guaranteed SHACMAN the quick and smooth resumption of production in sync with other enterprises of the industrial chain.
