Nanjing Automobile is a state-owned enterprise with a history that dates from 1947, making it the oldest of the Chinese automobile manufacturers although the comparatively younger First Automobile Works was the first to actually make cars.
The group's products have included cars, trucks, and buses.
Nanjing Auto merged with the much-larger SAIC in 2007 becoming a subsidiary of that company.

Famous quotes containing the word automobile:
“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
