SAIC Motor

SAIC Motor Corporation Limited (informally SAIC, formerly Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation) is a Chinese multinational automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Shanghai, China. One of the "Big Four" Chinese automakers (along with Chang'an Motors, FAW Group, and Dongfeng Motor), in 2011 it produced 3.97 million vehicles, the largest output of any China-based automaker.

Its origins date to the early years of the Chinese automobile industry in the 1940s, and SAIC was one of the few carmakers in Mao's China, making the Shanghai SH760. Currently, it participates in the oldest surviving Sino-foreign car making joint venture, with Volkswagen, and has also had a joint venture with General Motors since 1998. SAIC products sell under a variety of brand names including those of its joint venture partners. Two notable brands owned by SAIC itself are MG, a historic British car marque, and Roewe, one of the few domestic Chinese luxury car brands.
