The establishment of China ChangAn Automobile Group Co., Ltd. marks a defining moment in the evolution of China's automotive landscape. Emerging from a strategic consolidation of major entities—ChangAn Automobile, Chenzhi Group, and ChangAn Auto Finance—the newly formed group is set to elevate the automotive sector through a focused, unified vision. Building upon ChangAn Automobile’s four-decade legacy of vehicle manufacturing, the new Group positions itself as a dedicated powerhouse, driving forward with renewed purpose and scale. This transformation signals not only structural integration but also a sharpened strategic clarity, with a singular focus on advancing the global and regional automotive agenda.
With a robust registered capital of RMB 20 billion (approximately AED 10 billion) and total assets reaching RMB 308.7 billion (approximately AED 158 billion), China ChangAn Automobile Group stands on formidable financial ground. Generating annual revenues of RMB 340 billion (around AED 174 billion), the Group exemplifies fiscal strength and operational depth. Its fully integrated business model covers the entire automotive value chain—from core vehicle and component manufacturing to automotive finance, logistics, after-sales services, and even motorcycle operations. This vertical integration underpins the Group’s mission to revolutionize mobility through smarter, more sustainable, and seamlessly connected transportation solutions.
A cornerstone of China ChangAn Automobile Group’s global strategy is its deepening engagement with the Middle East. Recognizing the region's rising prominence in the mobility sector, the Group is aligning its product portfolio with local consumer preferences and regional conditions. Ongoing investments in supply chain infrastructure, including the significant expansion of its Parts Distribution Centre in Dubai, underscore the Group’s commitment to ensuring faster and more efficient service to customers across the GCC. This regional responsiveness enhances brand credibility and strengthens ChangAn’s long-term presence in one of the world’s most dynamic automotive markets.
Championing Innovation and New Energy Leadership
At the heart of China ChangAn Automobile Group's global vision lies a strong emphasis on intelligent mobility and new energy vehicles (NEVs). Backed by a workforce of approximately 110,000 professionals, the Group is rapidly advancing proprietary technologies and forging key international collaborations to pioneer cutting-edge solutions. From intelligent driving systems to electrification platforms, innovation is central to its strategy of redefining the future of transportation. The Group is not merely adapting to industry transformation; it is actively shaping it, aspiring to lead the global transition toward smarter, cleaner, and more connected mobility ecosystems.
Expanding Global Footprint Through Strategic Brands and Initiatives
With operations spanning 103 countries and regions, China ChangAn Automobile Group's global expansion is propelled by a diverse brand portfolio including AVATR, DEEPAL, and CHANGAN. These brands continue to gain traction among international consumers for their advanced technology, design innovation, and performance reliability. The Group’s “Vast Ocean Plan” encapsulates its long-term ambition: to reach annual vehicle sales of 5 million units by 2030, of which 3 million will be NEVs, and 30% will be generated from overseas markets. This forward-looking strategy aligns with the broader global shift toward sustainability and digital transformation, positioning the Group as a pivotal force in future mobility.
A Bold New Chapter in Automotive Evolution
The official launch of China ChangAn Automobile Group is more than a corporate restructuring, it marks the beginning of a new chapter in automotive excellence. By uniting resources, streamlining operations, and prioritizing technological leadership, the Group is equipped to deliver greater value and innovation to customers across diverse markets. Its growing influence in the Middle East reflects a strategic foresight that blends global ambitions with regional relevance. As China ChangAn Automobile Group steps into this new era, it brings with it the confidence, capacity, and vision to lead the automotive world into a smarter, more sustainable future.
