Shanghai, February 10 (Gasgoo.com) Chinese auto giant FAW Group announced
yesterday that Xu Xianping, former general manager of Tianjin FAW Xiali
Automobile Co., Ltd., and FAW Jiefang Truck Co., Ltd., has been promoted to
vice general manager of FAW Group, with a one-year trial period, said
sina.com today.
Xu Xianping has a technical background. He was one of the founders of FAW
International Automobile Company and FAW Toyota Automobile Company, and then
became the vice general manager of Tianjin FAW Xiali Automobile Co., Ltd.
and FAW Jiefang Truck Co., Ltd. successively. Xu has been an assistant to
the general manger of FAW Group since October 2007.
Industry analysts noted that FAW Group now has three auto manufacturing
bases (in Changchun, Tianjin, and Chengdu) and China's leading sedan R&D
center. The automaker needs a top executive not only with high calibers of
competition, R&D, management and sales, but also with expertise in strategy,
technology and decision-making. Xu Xianping is a talent to meet these needs.
FAW Group saw its sales volume and revenue both reach record highs in 2008.
The auto giant sold more than 1.53 million vehicles last year, a 6.75%
increase from 2007. Sales revenue totaled a record high of 218.4 billion
yuan ($32.12 billion), up 8.8% from the previous year.
