Changan Automobile and Dongfeng Motor Group have announced an agreement to begin a corporate restructuring. Both state-backed groups, which are also active in electric vehicles, could combine resources and operations to strengthen their position in the market.
The agreement comes as Chinese automakers face intense pressure: price competition, excess production capacity and the rise of stronger companies are accelerating industry consolidation. Smaller brands now face the risk of leaving the market or being absorbed by larger groups.
