Engines

Some Hawtai models use SAIC Motor engines, [20] but other powerplants are said to be Hawtai's own using technology purchased from Italian diesel experts VM Motori. [21] The company states that the design of these engines, made at its Inner Mongolia site, has been modified in-house. [26]

Operations

Hawtai has passenger car production facilities in Ordos, Inner Mongolia, [27] and Rongcheng, Shandong. [1] The latter site has a 150,000 vehicles per year production capacity. [7] The Inner Mongolia site has a production capacity of 300,000 units/year, manufactures modern diesel engines, and may have been under construction as of February 2010.[ citation needed ] Such production capacity figures may consider whole vehicles and engines as discrete. This facility produces transmissions as well as engines. [7] Hawtai claims production capacity figures for this location of one million engines, 500,000 whole vehicles, and the same number of transmissions. [7]

The company claims a bus production facility in Yanbian was established in 2002. [7]

A former process technology/engine localization office in Beijing may be a site for R&D efforts.[ citation needed ]

Sales

A total of 28,812 Hawtai passenger cars were sold in China in 2013, making it the 50th largest-selling car brand in the country in that year (and the 30th largest-selling Chinese brand). [28]

Exports

The company has exported to Angola, southeast Asia, and one or more of the CIS nations, a grouping of former Soviet Bloc states. [7] Hawtai has contacted at least one Russian automotive assembler, Derways, in an attempt to start CKD sales, and it has also explored the possibility of auto assembly at a soon-to-be-operational free trade zone in Valencia, Spain, signing an MoU with a Spanish mayor.
