Shanghai, September 7 (Gasgoo.com) Data shows that China exported 190,000
vehicles in the first seven months of this year, down 58% from 2008,
CCTV.com reported today. 

 

Officials say although China's car exports only accounts for 3% of the world
total, and 2% of China's total exports, the potential for growth is huge,
thus the government should make long-term plan to stabilize car exports. 

 

The Ministry of Commerce is working to deal with the problem, and may
implement guidelines for the country's auto exporters. The guidelines will
urge exporters to set up sales networks, perfect after sales services, and
adjust business structures.

 

Zhang Ji, Director of Department of Mechanic, Electronic and Hi-tech
Industry, said "We will try to increase China's share in the world's total
auto export from the current 3% to 10% by 2020."

 

Aside from the decrease in overseas demand, Zhang says the decrease is due
to nonstandard competition. So he urged the government to further regulate
the market. In auto parts, the Ministry will enhance a tax rebate policy, to
promote auto parts export. 

 

"Our exports declined a lot, by more than 30%," said Wang Ziliang, Vice
Chairman of Geely Holding Group. China's automakers expect the government to
pay close attention to the decrease in auto exports.
