H Infiniti ανακοίνωσε ότι μεταφέρει ένα μέρος της παραγωγής της στην Κίνα από το 2014, ώστε να κατασκευάζει εκεί, αυτοκίνητα για την τοπική αγορά. Η ανακοίνωση αυτή γίνεται λίγο μετά αυτής όπου η Infiniti θα ετοιμάσει νέα κεντρικά γραφεία στο Hong Kong, θέλοντας να δείξει το πόσο σημαντικό ρόλο παίζει γι’αυτή η κινέζικη αγορά, αφού έχει βάλει στόχο τις 500.000 πωλήσεις παγκοσμίως ετησίως έως το 2016, σύμφωνα με το μεσοπρόθεσμο επιχειρηματικό σχέδιο της Nissan, Nissan Power 88.

Η παραγωγή θα ξεκινήσει από το 2014 στο εργοστάσιο της κινέζικης αυτοκινητοβιομηχανίας Dongfeng, όπου εκεί θα κατασκευάζει τουλάχιστον 2 μοντέλα, χωρίς ακόμη να κατονομάζει ποια είναι αυτά. Με τον τρόπο αυτό θα καταφέρει να απαλλάξει τα αυτοκίνητα της από τον επιπλέον φόρο 25% που έχει επιβάλει η κυβέρνηση της Κίνας, στα εισαγόμενα αυτοκίνητα.

INFINITI MODELS TO BE BUILT IN CHINA FROM 2014

  • Underlines brand’s long-term commitment to the growing Chinese luxury market
  • “Important milestone for Infiniti’s growth strategy” – Andy Palmer, EVP
  • Two models to be manufactured by JV company, Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. by 2014

YOKOHAMA, Japan (April 20, 2012) – Infiniti will significantly raise its presence in China as it was today confirmed that two Infiniti models will be manufactured locally in China from 2014.

The Infiniti brand was first introduced to China in 2007, and continues to strengthen its product lineup and expand its sales network to satisfy customers in the growing Chinese luxury segment. Local production will allow customers increased access to Infiniti’s high-quality products, contributing to further growth in brand awareness and market share.

“The expansion of the Infiniti business is a key pillar of the Nissan Power 88 mid-term plan,” said Andy Palmer, Executive Vice President of the Global Infiniti & Luxury Business Unit. “This is an important milestone for Infiniti’s growth strategy, and for the brand to reach its aggressive sales target of 500,000 units by 2016, local production in the world’s largest automobile market is not an option but a necessity to our success,” he added.

The two models, yet to be named, will be manufactured at facilities operated by Nissan’s joint venture company in China, Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. (DFL). The extremely productive partnership with DFL and its parent company, Dongfeng Motor Corporation (DFM), will enable Infiniti to quickly realize its production objectives in China.

Further details regarding the new manufacturing programme will be issued at a future date.
