The Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor Company Limited is weighing whether to share a manufacturing facility with another carmaker in South Africa or acquire an existing plant if available. This strategic evaluation comes as automakers from China seek global growth and look to establish overseas factories to protect against potential import measures.
Kevin Li, the Managing Director of the company's South African division, confirmed during the launch of the Haval 6 plug-in hybrid SUV that discussions have been ongoing since last year.
