That China has some excellent automobile manufacturers is undeniably true and Chang'an is one of the automobile manufacturers in the country that can be considered excellent. The manufacturer is based in Chongqing and it constitutes a state-owned type of enterprise. It is an automobile manufacturer whose production is mostly composed of microvans and no-frills type of passenger cars, vans that are used for commercial use, and small trucks. The manufacturer is so reputable that it is considered one of the four manufacturers which are called the ‘Big Four’ automakers in China. Being one of the top four automakers in the country is not the only thing that makes the automobile manufacturer amazing. Another thing that makes the company amazing is a fact that some famous foreign automakers have actually joined ventures with the company.

The famous foreign automakers which have actually joined ventures with the company include Suzuki, Ford, as well as PSA Peugeot Citroen. The very fact that Chang'an has collaborated with those famous companies means that those famous companies have acknowledged its quality. The Chinese automaker itself, being a quite reputable automaker in its country, has built many cars. It has designed, developed, manufactured and sold passenger cars, which were cars that were sold under the brand Changan. It has also designed, developed, manufactured and sold commercial vehicles that were sold under the brand Chana instead of Changan. Aside from having been active in designing, developing, manufacturing, and selling cars the manufacturer has also acquired two domestic automakers, which were smaller than it, in 2009, the said two domestic automakers being Changhe and Hafei.

In addition to producing passenger cars and commercial vehicles, the manufacturer has also built a hybrid automobile and the manufacturer’s hybrid automobile debuted in 2007. The country subsidized oil as an incentive for the manufacture and use of electric cars and automobile manufacturers in the country saw opportunities in electric vehicles that were less mature since western companies had not developed much of a lead yet in the technology. By building hybrid vehicles, of course, the manufacturer could help people in the country protect the environment since electricity, on which hybrid vehicles could run, was and is still safer to use than gasoline. The manufacturer has built varied types of vehicle and a hatchback named CX30, is one of them. The manufacturer has even built Chang'an small trucks, as well as vans that can be used to do commercial activities.
