China is the world's largest single automobile market, with nearly 200 companies with automobile production qualifications, including independent brands, joint venture brands, and some modification factories. Compared with the United States, which is known as the country on wheels, there are only four major automobile groups. There are too many car brands in our area. In fact, there were many automobile brands in the United States before. After market screening, mergers and bankruptcies, the current four automobile groups were formed. China Automobile will inevitably go through this process. If these more than 100 auto companies can only retain a few brands, which auto companies will it be.
China FAW , as the eldest son of the republic of the automakers, will inevitably receive policies and resources. For example, FAW Hongqi is a government agency that purchases cars, and even travel cars for national leaders on National Day and international occasions. FAW Volkswagen , FAW Honda, FAW Toyota Such a super joint venture can provide technology and profit for FAW .
Changan Automobile Group . Backed by China Military Equipment Group, it has funds and technical strength. The sales of Changan 's independent brand have always belonged to the mainstream industry, and Changan Automobile is known as the "joint venture killer". The sales of joint ventures such as Changan Suzuki , Changan Ford, Changan Mazda , Changan Lincoln , etc. are far less than the sales of Volkswagen and Liangtian.
SAIC Group . SAIC General Motors, GM Wuling Auto, SAIC is a major exporter. Through the acquisition, MG, Roewe , and Maximum are exported. There are also GM Chevrolet, Buick , Cadillac , as well as SAIC Volkswagen and Skoda . The sales of Wuling Auto are all good. Wuling Auto is even known as the national god car. SAIC's technical research and development are also excellent. SAIC Bluecore engine is equipped with a variety of models and performs excellently. Multiple R&D centers around the world ensure technology keeps pace with the times. In addition, SAIC has also incubated a car supply chain company like SAIC Huayu with a certain reputation.
Tesla electric car. Tesla electric vehicles can be said to be synonymous with electric vehicles . Tesla China belongs to joint venture car company, is a star enterprise of high-tech electric vehicles. The world's richest man Musk super halo, and support from super first-tier cities like Shanghai, it is not easy to keep a low profile. Although new domestic forces in new energy claim to be better than Tesla, they can only look back. There have been many rumors that Tesla is going to withdraw from China. Obviously, Tesla will not give up the big market of China, and China also needs this "catfish" to activate the new energy market.
BYD Auto . BYD 's performance is obvious to all. All the key core technologies of electric vehicles are mastered, especially the three-electric technology, which is internationally leading. Some people joke that BYD can make everything he says except that he does not produce tires. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it can reflect its R&D strength. BYD is the first car company in China to announce that it will give up the full investment of fuel vehicles in new energy. Its electric buses and new energy vehicles have been exported to many countries around the world. In addition, BYD also licensed its three-electric technology to Skyworth Auto through technical cooperation.
Chery Automobile Group. He is known as the man in the automotive industry, and has been the first in production and sales of independent brands and exports many times. The earliest car company that is developing is built in Asia's largest automobile collision laboratory and has a large number of internal combustion engine technology patents.

Automotive supply chain companies like Bethel have been incubated. Chery is known as the Whampoa Military Academy in the automotive industry, and many senior executives of many car companies have gone out of Chery.
Geely Auto Group. Geely Auto is the most famous private car company in China.It owns many brands such as Geely , Lynk & Co , Volvo , and has its own core automotive technology. The most sensational thing is that Geely acquires the passenger car business of Volvo Car , which is famous for its safety. Geely Auto is the best car company in Chinese auto companies. It not only acquired Volvo, but also acquired London taxi company, , Malaysia Proton Auto, is the controlling shareholder of supercar brand Lotus Auto and the largest shareholder of Mercedes-Benz Daimler Auto. Its independently developed hybrid technology Thor Hybrid is also available for sale with a number of models.
Great Wall Motor Group. Great Wall is synonymous with Chinese SUVs, and God Car Haval H6 has often dominated the SUV sales list for many years. It is also a famous pickup truck manufacturer in China.

Great Wall is actively embracing the new situation, and Dayu Battery and Honeycomb Power, which have independent intellectual property rights, have laid the foundation for the future development of Great Wall.
Huawei Auto . Strictly speaking, Huawei is not a car brand, but more like a car solution supplier. Similar to Bosch Automobile, although it does not build cars, it has enough voice in the automotive industry. Huawei Absorbing Chongbao in the automotive field, Selis, who cooperated with Jinkang, Jihu, who cooperated with BAIC, and Aweita, who cooperated with Changan, are all using Huawei technology. In terms of three electric power, Huawei's technical research and development is not as good as BYD, and even has more advantages in electronic control and motors. Under the trend of emphasizing the intelligence of new energy vehicles, Huawei has more advantages in smart cockpits, intelligent driving, etc. To give an example, intelligent driving cannot be separated from lidar . Huawei has made the 96-line lidar a bargain price. The cost of radar at a price of tens of thousands of yuan can be controlled at US$200, making it possible to mass production and loading of vehicles on a large scale. Although Huawei has publicly announced that it will not build cars, who can stop the huge trend? Smart cars are undoubtedly the next Internet traffic entrance, otherwise the Internet will not enter the automotive field, such as , Xiaomi , 360, etc. Huawei also announced that it would never make mobile phones, and now it is not the best manufacturer in terms of shipments.
There is another new brand that is Jidu Auto . Many people may not have heard of this brand. Jidu Auto is a joint venture designed by Geely Auto and Baidu . It is a car brand for smart and even driverless technology. Geely has natural advantages in car manufacturing. As for why Baidu is involved in car manufacturing? First, Baidu needs a business growth field with a huge blue ocean market, and second, Baidu happens to have a large number of unmanned driving core technology patents, and Baidu urgently needs technology implementation to maintain an incremental market. Taxis using Baidu's "Apollo" autonomous driving technology have begun to operate in some places in Beijing. Autonomous driving requires a lot of technical parameters and permissions of the car. Many car companies were unwilling to provide it at the beginning, and Baidu could only make cars by itself. After the acceptance level of autonomous driving is mature, Baidu will become an autonomous driving solution provider.
As the largest automobile market, the competition among various automobile companies will be more intense. When electric vehicle manufacturing was booming before, there were dozens of electric vehicle brands. After the market competition in Dalang Taosha, only a handful of brands survived. Which car companies do you think will survive the fierce competition in the market!
