'''SAIC General Motors Corporation Limited''' (commonly known as '''SAIC-GM'''; {{zh|s=上汽通用汽车}}) is a joint venture between [[General Motors|General Motors Company]] and [[SAIC Motor]]. The company was founded in 1997 as '''Shanghai General Motors Company Ltd''' or '''Shanghai GM''' ({{zh|s=上海通用汽车}}). Headquartered in [[Shanghai]], the company manufactures and sells [[Chevrolet]], [[Buick]], and [[Cadillac (automobile)|Cadillac]] brand automobiles in [[mainland China]], and exports its cars to several overseas markets.


== History ==
'''Shanghai General Motors Company Limited''' (Shanghai GM) is a joint venture between [[General Motors Corporation|General Motors]] and Shanghai Automotive Industries Corporation (SAIC). Shanghai GM manufactures and sells [[automobiles]] in [[mainland China]]. The company manufactures and sells [[Chevrolet]], [[Buick]], and [[Cadillac (automobile)|Cadillac]] vehicles. Shanghai GM was founded on [[June 12]], [[1997]] with 50% investment each from [[Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation]] and General Motors. In [[2003]], the PRC became the second largest single market for General Motors, and GM Shanghai had a 13% market share in mainland China, second only to [[Volkswagen Group China]] among foreign carmakers. However, sales dropped for [[2004]] with the retirement of the [[Buick Sail]]. Its replacement, the [[Chevrolet Sail]], was delayed to February, [[2005]], leaving Shanghai GM in seventh place.
SAIC-GM was founded on June 12, 1997, with 50% investment each from each partner. SAIC-GM began assembling the venture's first vehicle, the [[Buick Regal]], in Shanghai, China in April 1999.<ref name="china_0=95">{{cite web |url=http://history.gmheritagecenter.com/wiki/index.php/1995%2C_GM_Links_with_SAIC |title=1995, GM Links with SAIC |year=2011 |work=history.gmheritagecenter.com |publisher=General Motors Company |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110817224645/http://history.gmheritagecenter.com/wiki/index.php/1995,_GM_Links_with_SAIC |archive-date=August 17, 2011 |access-date=May 30, 2011 |quote=GM signed a milestone agreement with China’s Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) for a proposed automotive joint venture, a joint venture technical center, and several other projects in and around the city of Shanghai... |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=globalization>{{cite web |url=http://history.gmheritagecenter.com/wiki/index.php/1982_-1999,_Globalization,_One_Company,_One_Team |title=1982 -1999, Globalization, One Company, One Team |year=2011 |work=history.gmheritagecenter.com |publisher=General Motors Company |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110817224536/http://history.gmheritagecenter.com/wiki/index.php/1982_-1999,_Globalization,_One_Company,_One_Team |archive-date=August 17, 2011 |access-date=May 30, 2011 |quote=Also in 1995, the company entered into a joint venture agreement with Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation (SAIC) in China, laying the foundation for unprecedented growth over the next few years.

By 2003, China became the second largest single market for General Motors, selling 201,188 vehicles, an 81.6% percent increase over the previous year. In that year SAIC-GM achieved a 13% market share in mainland China, second only to [[Volkswagen Group China]] among foreign carmakers. Sales dropped in 2004 when the company retired the [[Buick Sail]] and the release of its replacement, the [[Chevrolet Sail]], was delayed to February 2005, knocking General Motors Shanghai to seventh place in mainland China market share. SAIC-GM market share climbed back to nearly 9.8 percent, placing SAIC-GM among the top three passenger car manufacturers in mainland China.
In the future, it is likely that entire new vehicles will be engineered by GM and SAIC's [[Pan-Asia Technical Automotive Center]] for GM Shanghai to build.


In June 2004, the Cadillac brand was introduced to China followed by Chevrolet in January 2005.
According to the company, in 2003, Shanghai GM sold 201,188 vehicles. This was an 81.6% percent increase over the previous year. Its share of mainland China's passenger car market grew to nearly 9.8 percent, placing Shanghai GM among the top three passenger car manufacturers in mainland China.

SAIC General Motors Corporation Limited (commonly known as SAIC-GM; Chinese: 上汽通用汽车) is a joint venture between General Motors Company and SAIC Motor. The company was founded in 1997 as Shanghai General Motors Company Ltd or Shanghai GM (Chinese: 上海通用汽车). Headquartered in Shanghai, the company manufactures and sells Chevrolet, Buick, and Cadillac brand automobiles in mainland China, and exports its cars to several overseas markets.

History

[edit]

SAIC-GM was founded on June 12, 1997, with 50% investment each from each partner. SAIC-GM began assembling the venture's first vehicle, the Buick Regal, in Shanghai, China in April 1999.[1][2][3][4] This later followed with the Chinese-built Buick GL8 minivan which was a Chinese-exclusive vehicle and was not offered in the United States and Canada.

By 2003, China became the second largest single market for General Motors, selling 201,188 vehicles, an 81.6% percent increase over the previous year. In that year SAIC-GM achieved a 13% market share in mainland China, second only to Volkswagen Group China among foreign carmakers. Sales dropped in 2004 when the company retired the Buick Sail and the release of its replacement, the Chevrolet Sail, was delayed to February 2005, knocking General Motors Shanghai to seventh place in mainland China market share. SAIC-GM market share climbed back to nearly 9.8 percent, placing SAIC-GM among the top three passenger car manufacturers in mainland China.

In June 2004, the Cadillac brand was introduced to China followed by Chevrolet in January 2005.

In May 2005 SAIC-GM completed construction of a new assembly plant, the South Plant, at its facility in eastern Shanghai's Pudong district, more than doubling its annual production capacity to 320,000 vehicles.[5]

SAIC-GM was the top passenger vehicle producer in China in 2006, with sales of 413,400 vehicles. In 2011, SAIC-GM sold 1,200,355 vehicles in the Chinese market.[6] SAIC-GM is the largest joint venture GM has in China.[7]

In February 2010, SAIC acquired an additional 1 percent stake in the joint venture for US$85 million and assistance in securing a US$400 million line of credit to boost SAIC's total share of SAIC-GM to 51%. In April 2012, GM regained 50% control of the joint venture.[7]

Exports

[edit]

In September 2006, General Motors launched the Chevrolet Corsa Plus in Chile built by SAIC-GM, an export version of the first-generation Chevrolet Sail which in turn is a version of the 4-door Opel Corsa with a 1.6-liter engine. It is the first export market to receive a vehicle manufactured by SAIC-GM.[8]

In 2010, SAIC-GM started exporting the second-generation Chevrolet Sail to Latin American markets, starting with Chile.[9] The third-generation Sail or Aveo, also built by SAIC-GM, was exported to Mexico and the Caribbean since 2017 until 2023, when SAIC-GM-Wuling took over the development and production of the Sail/Aveo.[10][11][12]

In 2016, General Motors started importing the Buick Envision into the US from China. The Envision is built by SAIC-GM at its Dongyue Motors plant. Buick expected to sell 40,000 to 50,000 units of the Envision annually in North America.[13][14]

Since 2020, SAIC-GM also exports the Chevrolet Equinox to Uzbekistan. SAIC-GM also assisted UzAuto Motors, the largest Uzbek automaker formerly known as GM Uzbekistan to produce Chevrolet vehicles such as the Onix.[15]
