FAW Group and GAC Group have begun a strategic partnership to combine expertise and investment in electric cars, batteries, intelligent driving and international expansion. The agreement involves two major Chinese state-controlled automakers.
The move could represent a new model for industry consolidation: not an immediate merger, but gradual cooperation between independent groups.
