In 2010, the global fleet of motor vehicles surpassed the one billion-unit mark for the first time. In China, there were 78 million vehicles in operation, making it the second ranked country after the United States for vehicle use as of 2010. In recent years the increase in the registration of new vehicles in China has been occurring at a significant and rapid rate.
In 2011, China manufactured 18.4 million vehicles and was the leading car producer for the third consecutive year. However, foreign brands dominate the Chinese automobile production industry. Volkswagen plans to invest over 10 billion euros in China by 2015, while the VW-Suzuki alliance group produced 2.1 million vehicles as of 2010. Facing fierce competition from foreign carmakers within their domestic market, Chinese car manufacturers are looking for new markets overseas.
