一汽大众将在天津建立新工厂，这也是一汽大众在国内建立的第五家工厂，车厂此举旨在提升产量。据《每日经济新闻》报道，一汽大众天津工厂预计将于2018年投产，总投资额为195亿元人民币，预计年产量为30万辆。这将使一汽大众到2020年的国内产量提升至300万辆，同时公司在青岛新建的工厂也将于明年投产。到目前为止，一汽大众并未透露将在天津和青岛工厂投产具体哪款车型。不过，德国大众计划在未来4年内向中国投放10款SUV。业内专家确信，一汽大众新战略与提升产量密切相关。据中国乘用车协会提供的数据，新一代速腾和捷达销量超过27万辆，这也可以解释为什么一汽大众希望提升产量。

 

FAW VW ramps up annual capacity to 3,000,000 units for SUV production

Recently, FAW-Volkswagen Automotive is to build a new manufacturing base in Tianjing, which is its fifth plant in China, so as to ramp up production.

 

It’s known by the reporter of National Business Daily that FAW VW’s new Tianjing plant is expected to come into production in 2018. With a total investment of around 19.5 billion yuan, the new Tianjing plant is expected to produce 300,000 vehicles every year, which will boost the annual capacity of FAW VW to 3,000,000 units by the year of 2020, with the help of the company’s Qingdao plant, which is expected to come into production in 2017.

 

Till now, FAW VW has not revealed the specific models that will be assembled in Tianjing and Qingdao plants. But according to Volkswagen group, this Germany carmaker will launch 10 SUV models in China in next 4 years.

 

Industrial experts believed FAW VW’s new strategy regarding ramping up production does add up. According to China’s Passenger Car Association, the sales of New Sagitar and Jetta, two FAW VW models, both stood above 270,000 units, which may explain why this carmaker wants to increase its volume.
