Surprise? ever heard of some weird Indians logic="China Bus...but "Made In India"?

Not many of us would be aware that china bus are assembled & body built here in India. Recently i had a chance to visit one such facility here in Cochin. The company "Chacks" is engaged in export of China's FAW (First Automotive Works) make buses to gulf region. The buses are brought in CKD form and assembled here, followed by body building. Then they are driven upto Mumbai from where they are shipped to Dubai. Last week 6 buses were dispatched from here. Here are some images of the same.
These LHD buses are 67seater standard versions (with provision for A/c) used for Staff & School transport.

"There was a huge market for these buses earlier to economic crises. Last year the demand was very less. But now the market is responding better. But there is stiff competition from the likes of Ashok Leyland. They have recently opened their new plant there", says Mr.Kuruvila, Chacks.

No mater how much Chinese posters on PDF cry.. the fact is that:

  1. The country is the world's No 1 auto market in terms of sales, but most of its car brands are contractors of foreign cars and its own products are still below par compared with global competitors, especially in terms of safety and emission standards.
  2. China's indigenous cars are lowest on the food chain

A Chinese company that recently won a contract with Long Beach Transit plans to build its all-electric buses in California's Mojave Desert.

Lancaster Mayor R. Rex Parris and officials of BYD Automotive announced plans Wednesday to open the first Chinese-owned vehicle manufacturing plant in the United States in the wind-swept high-desert city 60 miles northeast of Los Angeles.

BYD, which opened its North American headquarters in Los Angeles in 2010, says the plant will initially turn out 10 electric buses for the city of Long Beach. It expects the vehicles, with a range of 150 miles between charges, to be delivered next year.

The $12.1 million Long Beach Transit contract awarded to BYD in late March generated some criticism from its rival American companies and those in the community who felt that the federally funded contract - considered one of the largest federal procurements for electric buses - should have gone to an American company. Some, including rival firm Proterra, called into question the reliability and safety of BYD's product.

BYD defended its product and spoke of its rigorous testing in China. The Chinese company also has spoken openly of its commitment to Long Beach Transit.

Honestly "great wall" and "Tata" are both very non attractive names for Auto's.

Great wall sounds more like a construction company.

Of course not. China still has a long way, probably five to ten years. But on the other hand Chinese comapnies have managed to become houshold names in many consumer products in Germany such as Lenovo, Huawei and Haier.

One thing you have to know, the German market is the most demanding one in the world, the other one is Japan. If you can make it here, you can make it everywhere.

there is still a longway to go for India to reach that level

That is a reasonable comment.

That is common among responsible car makers. are you serious!?
